Customer Reviews
LOVE IT
The short episodes make it so you never get bored and the frequency is amazing
Your Voice
For some reason, your voice sounds pretentious, but maybe that’s the wrong word, it sounds overly performative to me. I just want to hear a normal voice.
The best!
I have listened to every one of these stories, many more than once, and some many times. The gentle honest voice telling each tale with respect is comforting.
