How to read this: each number is how many reviews raised that topic in their own words — not a percentage or a score. Bars compare topics within a box only, so the longest bar is whatever came up most here, marked Top. The dots above show how much evidence we have, not how good the show is.

This summarises what reviewers said. It isn't our verdict, and we don't write reviews ourselves. See exactly how every number is calculated.

    Good stories but too many advertisements

    Nice stories but misplaced advertisements that cut into the story (overlapping voice overs of the story reader and the advertisements) spoilt the whole experience especially the story cat, partridge.. I am not sure if I would like to listen to this podcast again.

    Not kids friendly language

    The language could be made a lot more child friendly. The words are a bit too grown up for the kids to really enjoy.

    Innappropriate Ads

    I listened to this podcast using Google Music. That version contains different ads than this iTunes versions. On Google Music, the episode began and ended with an ad for Angry Orchard Hard Cider. I find that incredibly innappropriate for a childrens' product.
