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.

Thanks for stories a lot
I like your stories so much!! I wish is that maybe a little less advert at the beginning, but overall it’s the best thing ever! Although you sometimes make speak errors and some repeats like in a story it s said Learic ( I don’t know if it’s correct spelling but I tried) Learic flew about, and then you say it again. Although it’s sooooooooooo spectacular and amazing thanks for sharing it. :)

Cute stories, Annoying Narration
Love the creativity, and my kids can usually sit quietly through one show. Longer than that though, and we all get a bit sour. Granny Macduff reads each story in a feathery, honeyed voice, and it drives me nuts. This is a personal preference, and the stories really are cute and creative (even thought they can get repetitive), but they could use a better narrator. My grandma doesn’t sound like she inhales powder before she reads… Also, since the subscribers only switch, we haven’t listened to this show at all. I recommend Greeking Out to any mamas looking for a FREE amazing podcast for kids.
