What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have loved this podcast for a long time but the ads have gotten out of hand. They are loud, obnoxious, and jarring. Please go back to either reading the ads yourself or choosing ones that are quieter. There is nothing worse than being on the brink of sleep and then hearing an ad go “HEY Y’ALL!!!”

SammyLewWho · Dec 2024

We’ve listened to bedtime histories for awhile. My daughter likes to fall asleep to it. However, lately the ads are out of control. There are 3-4 loud and obnoxious ads before and after each episode. They seem to be the same ads before and after. I get that the podcast needs to make money, but it would be great if the ads were a little more chill since we’re listening at bedtime. Update: the loud ads went away for a bit. But now they’re back. :( It’s so frustrating and I don’t think we’ll be able to listen to this podcast - at least not for bedtime.

This podcast is so great in taking our chaotic car ride instantly to a calm, peaceful place. I’m honestly so grateful for it and I LOVE the great stuff I learn even as the mom!

BrittanyMe · Aug 2024

The history in my son’s elementary school is severely lacking and we use this as a supplemental educational tool. He loves it, asks questions, and is very engaged in the topics. He looks forward to listening each night.
