Customer Reviews
Excellent Stuff
The always excellent Miss Sawyer strikes again, taking the potentially humdrum subject of family and makes it funny and interesting. Not only easy on the eye but now on the ear, more please! Well done
Wish it was weekly...
I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast - the first one I've ever listened to. It was entertaining, reassuring and interesting - just like the Family section in the Saturday Guardian, which I love.
Family podcast
Great start. found it very reassuring to hear same level of hysteria as our house in the morning.
