Customer Reviews
an English learner from Uruguay
This is more than a podcast, this is a masterpiece, in which every detail is taken into account. Excellent voices, pronunciation of words, words that everybody can understand including English students, powerful soundtrack, and very interesting content. The sound is incredible! The podcast was a pleasure to my ears today, and it’s just my first episode. I will recommend it to my friends, as my teacher recommended it to me. Thank you!
