Reviews

sound quality superb


(4 stars)

The content, well... it's more like a little mini-play of stories for children, perhaps. Seems every show, which they're only 12 minutes or so, takes up half the program with some guy's acapella version of "On Top of old Smokey..." I heard enough of that tune to last me 20 lifetimes. Don't know why they used that SAME tune in almost every show- if not every single show.


(4 stars)

Fun, Not great but not bad
