So pleased there’s also a text version!

A quite useful idea & well done organised around key topics, but ironically it has too much info for audio only!
So good that Katie included a transcript, but the topics need sub heads!
It’s a case study in the relative benefits of each.

Price was right

Example passages took me out of the lessond.
More relevant, or well-known example passages would have helped. Too short to be useful. Rewriting and lengthening-with better examples, might help.

Really personal

Thank you for the education. I really enjoyed the multiple personalities teaching me their personal peaves.

Nice and Simple

Loved this, as a person starting out this made since and was entertaining. we need more like this I think, definitely.

Good list!

Good overall strategies to improve writing for audio. Some of those interviewed were not clear in their meaning.
