Unsure

These are great little snippets, but lost some
Credibility with me when I heard a McDonalds ad.

Easy bite-sized listening

I like the short and snappy conversation - a quick few minutes of listening while I make my coffee and I usually learn a few healthy tips along the way!

Not Bad

I do not mean to be unkind, but I find the host’s speaking voice difficult to listen to. It constantly sounds like she is trying to put on a fake radio voice and is not being herself. However, the guests and content of this podcast are usually interesting and informative.
