Customer Reviews
Great story telling!
Jane is a very talented writer, producer and narrator of this podcast! It’s an awesome work of presenting philosophy, psychology and more!
Aurally Stimulated
I found the allegory of wonderland, the map, and the maze in describing philosophy, epistimology, and ethics to be quite useful.
However what I enjoyed the most was Jane Gatsby’s sexy voice. I have to admit it gave me a chill down the spine and elicited a strong PC twitch.
It moved.
I look forward to episode 3.
I will take a warm shower, fix a glass of wine, and lounge in my favorite chair when I listen next time.
