  • Love it.

    I love this podcast. I listen to several and stumbled on this one. She does a great job and if you listen to podcasts on the regular you know it’s all about the voice. Her voice is definitely podcast listening worthy. One of my new favs.

  • Sounds super scripted

    Usually love Heidi Wong, but I can’t listen to this. It sounds super scripted and read of off a paper with the words pronounced weirdly.
