Love doing my nails while listening. Many don’t like the two speakers and commercials but all I have to say is the episodes that I have listened to have almost no adds and the two speakers are wtv. I like both of their voices so I couldn’t care less that their is two of them. Peak podcast.
Chill, soothing podcast

It’s not earth shattering stuff, but I enjoy listening. The narration style is appropriate for the subject matter—not over the top or too conversational. I’m bummed that it ended.
two narrators too many

Distracting
2 narrators constantly switching

Why are there 2 narrators switching reading every-other-sentence? A female reads a sentence. A male reads the next sentence. Then she reads one, he reads one, and so on. That is not an exaggeration and is way too distracting. It’s not even for character dialog. I wanted to like this show, it came recommended from a different pod I follow and I love these topics. Too bad
