“There is a wealth of knowledge delivered in the podcast, but it’s a bit difficult to follow with all of the mouth noises. There are also a significant amount of mistakes in the voiceover that are just left in the final edit - to the point where things already said are repeated instead of edited...”Read full review »

“I really wanted to listen to this but couldn't get through 10 minutes. The (ditzy?) sing-song lilt of the host, clearly bored and reading a script, is grating at best, obnoxious if you try to listen to more than 1 episode.
Reminds me of a whale watch tour operator.”Read full review »

“I loved this podcast back in the day. You always had to skip five minutes in because there were soooo many ad reads. Now it’s just kind of a sad money grab where she rehashes the same info she’s said a million times before into more and more episodes so she can read out more ads. Now they’re even...”Read full review »

“About every 2 minutes, there is a reference to a “full episode” on a topic where you can get more information. It’s very annoying. I unless you are going to pay to subscribe, I wouldn’t bother with this one.”

“It’s a helpful podcast for dipping your toe into the waters of a given topic. It’s not detailed enough to listen and be done, but it’s definitely a good starting point. That said, there are *way* too many ads. I’m not shaming for some ads—we all need to make money—but at least 1/3 of each episode...”Read full review »

“This podcast could be great, but the episodes are only like 15 minutes of actual content. She spends the first 5 minutes going on and on and on about her ads; same with the last few minutes of the podcast.

“I’m only one episode in (dogs + babies) so I may update this but I’ve already heard some very questionable advice. Using a fake baby doll before the baby is born?! Ridiculous.
