Best pod!

I absolutely adore this podcast!! I found it through the 1996 Everest episode, and haven’t stopped listening since! Jasmines voice is so soothing and perfect for story telling! Listen, listen, listen to this pod!

Room for improvement

I think this podcast has a lot of potential. She is a good storyteller and has read a lot on the topics, but her voice is very difficult to listen to. She speaks from the back of her throat and uses a lot of vocal fry. It’s hard to get past that for me. I end up focusing on her voice rather than the story.

Thank you Jasmin!!

I love the way Jasmin presents the information - like listening to a friend tell a story. I find her voice very soothing. She puts a lot of time and work into her research, and I appreciate her conscientious delivery. Can’t wait for the next disaster story. You’re wonderful, Jasmin!
