Customer Reviews
Low rent version of the The Moth
There are a few good stories, but the main problem with this podcast is that the audience laughter is way too distracting. In particular, there is a girl with a distinctive, abrupt, and forced laugh that disrupts the listening of the stories. As far as I can tell, she is present in all four episodes.
Move the mic out of the audience
I agree about the audience, and the girl. So far though, not bad.
