The narration has to stop. I literally can't listen. I absolutely love Becky and sad I can't listen to this podcast.

Becky! I am crying, the story was a roller coaster but the closing touched me so deep. You are one of kind with such a big heart! Keep going….

the narration is soooo slow. it’s low in volume and slow mo talking. it’s really hard to keep guests on track and for the story to flow when it’s constantly interrupted. i love your personality becky, let it shine and have a deep convo with the guests!!

So good I don’t think I have ever done a review infact I had to ask chat how to but This was SO GOOD!!! Even my guy got into this episode!!! Great job Becky love you on all the podcasts your my new favorite!!!

First off, Becky is an amazing person with the kindest heart. This podcast gives people a chance to be seen & heard in a safe space. Becky is perfect for interviews & narrating. All around superior!! If you don’t LOVE this podcast, who even are you!!!! #immaHaTyeR 🫶🏼❤️

I just want to say how much I love this podcast. But more importantly, I love the community that stems from it. As some have mentioned who you are in this podcast is gravely different than who you are in karma and chaos. And I love that. I think people are multidimensional and I think it’s a blessing to be able to share both parts of who you are as a carefree, humorous empath who loves connection. Some episodes can feel intense but there’s also so much healing in each one. Like a therapy session. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to an episode and something a guest said, triggered a memory within me that I had long suppressed. Also making me feel less alone with those memories, and less shame. Keep being vulnerable, keep being consistent. It’s making a difference in a world that needs more connection.

Becky Hayter’s Patreon and Discord feel like kicking back and talking with a group of friends. She covers real-life topics that everyone can relate to, making conversations feel genuine and comfortable. I especially look forward to the Sunday Resets each month! In a world where I sometimes feel like I don’t have many friends, this group reminds me that there are so many people who genuinely care. Becky is VERY active in the group, and talking with her feels just like talking to a friend. It’s such a welcoming, supportive community, and I’m so glad to be part of it!

Becky. I love your upbeat personality and I understand what direction you’re trying to take this in. Just these episodes are so draining and so depressing. I listen to Podcasts to escape reality. I love listening to your money talk with your sister! Again I am so so so sorry to say this.

Narration annoying just let your interviewee tell the story.

Becky has a great narrating voice, but for this podcast I don’t feel it’s correct. Again, her voice is great if it was some type of true crime or something that needed to explained I would get it. The podcast itself is great, but I can’t listen when it’s being narrated.

I can’t take the narration. This isn’t Hidden Brain Podcast where we need a narrator interjecting to explain scientific concepts to keep the listeners afloat. These are personal stories from peoples’ lives, I want to hear them from the perspective of the person who lived it. The narration feels very unnecessary and more like a creative outlet for Becky, but it’s ruining the story and makes me feel like I’m being talked to like a child. The switching between conversation and monotoned narration is not fluid and I end up skipping it like a commercial. I do love listening to peoples’ stories, but I may have to stop since the podcast revamp.

Becky’s podcast has helped me through grief and hard times in my life. One of my favorite quotes she says is “You don’t hate life. You just hate this chapter.” This resonates with me so well when I’m struggling. I always think back to that quote. I even made a reminder widget on my phone with that saying to keep me going and keep it as a reminder.

IMO Becky does an amazing job interviewing and narrating the episodes! It’s so refreshing to hear!

If you think this is anything like coffee convos, couldn’t be more wrong. Thoughtful, intelligent and entertaining host. Reminds me of Anderson Cooper’s pod on grief…just better!

First, I would love to say that Becky, your narration voice is amazing. It is soft and brings me so much comfort when listening. The stories that you have on this podcast are deep but bring happiness and I have loved every single one of them!

The CONSTANT interruptions to narrate in a singsong whisper voice is just way too much

I want to like her…but she’s a controlling partner. Leah deserves so much better than someone as narcissistic as Becky.

becky i "love" you (& kail!!) and i know all of your episodes are probably phenomonal! i'm at the moment tearing up over the kail episode. as a mom i'm picturing baby kail laying in her mom's bed waiting for her to come home 😩 MY HEART. i listen to all the podcasts. i really "love" you both. kail, i think you are AH.mazing. i've been a fan for years and years. i am not an ike hater (i don't have social media so i don't understand the hate you were saying people are feeling) and i truly hope you all live sooooo happily ever after. best of luck on the marriage counseling and the remodel becky + leah! ❣️❣️

This new way of interviewing or whatever it is Becky is trying to do is God awful!! I cannot stand to listen to more than 5 minutes.

Love your podcast! Wallet therapy has transformed my life and I appreciate it more than I can say. For the Hayters is an excellent escape from my daily life. The raw emotional journey allows me to care so deeply about a stranger for the short time that I listen, which I believe is due in part to the pacing and narration provided. Listening to other’s journeys in this way creates more compassion and understanding in the world, which we NEED right now. Keep it up, this is meaningful work.

I feel like I’m listening to NPR (not complementary)

Love the new format of the narration. Adds a cool element to the podcast. Only improvement I could suggest would be to make them the same voice level as the interview. It’s very hard to keep the volume at a good level to hear both in the car without having the interview super loud. Keep up the awesome interviews!

I am enjoying the new format and I know the interviews are serious ones but in my opinion Becky’s narration voice needs to be a little more upbeat. I love the input and her portions but the quiet subdued voice is a little much. The host on Betrayal Weekly does a similar format + super intense topics but her voice is normal in the talking portions. Would much prefer that with this podcast too. Loving the stories though, the narration and Becky in general! Keep rocking, girl.

Love the new format but Becky needs to speak up, I finding myself needing to turn my volume up during narration.

The title says it all. Constructive criticism . Show is interesting but it’s unlistenable with Becky’s creepy voice narration. Please stop

I can for Kail’s 2-part interview, but stayed for the rest of the stories shared. So often people are made to hide in shame for things that happen in their lives. This podcast allows them to shed that shame and share with the world. We ALL know or have someone in our life that knows this kind of shame. You are more than that! Thank you for giving them a platform to shed light on the fact that “you are not alone”!

Stop with the voice overs I really like your pod without it. Your voice is good but it’s too much like story telling instead of being organic.

Really do love the stories, but struggling with the narration. I enjoy when your guest is answering questions and you interacting w them. The narration feels like you cutting them off.

This one got me! It held my attention the entire episode, which I have a tendency often to get distracted during podcasts. On a side note, I noticed Becky had picked up the tempo just a tiny bit during the monologue parts, which was better for me than some of the previous episodes, where the pauses felt a little too long. Great job this week!

The narration is horrible. Sounds like a really bad audiobook. As for Kail’s story. Unfortunately she’s not special. Talk to the ACOA community or alcoholic parents who are sober. The only difference is, we didn’t choose to put our lives out there. We overcame with community, therapy and helping others in the same situations. The way Kail refers to her mother as Boozy Suzi shows such an extreme lack of empathy. It’s kinda gross.

I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than this weird asmr whisper talking thing she’s trying out. I hate it.

I just tuned in for the first time and was listening to the episode with Kail and I cannot listen die to your voice when narrating. Can you please just use your normal voice? It’s actually kinda creepy!!!!!!

The new format is weird and feels unnecessary. The whispering is creepy. The conversations would be better if they felt natural

I like listening to Karma and Chaos so I was excited to listen to this podcast but unfortunately I don’t think I can get past the whispering and voice over.

Becky- you are awesome! You are empathetic, inquisitive, know the right questions to ask to get people thinking. The series on Kail was amazing. You did her story justice and did it with such empathy and grace.

I just tuned in to listen to Kails episodes and I won’t listen again if they have the voiceover format. It is terrible and hard to listen to. I am not sure what you are trying to do with this but just talk normal like you are having a conversation.

I love you Becky and want this to succeed so bad but that voiceover format with that whisper voice you do is very hard to listen to. I couldn’t even finish listening to an episode.

I have listened to a few older episodes, but came back to the show to listen to Kail’s series. Can we just hear the convo instead of cuts of what people are saying then listening to a phony whispering voice. It sounds like a documentary. The reason we listen too podcasts is to hear the conversation between the host and their guest. I definitely can’t handle listening to anymore episodes with this weird layout.

I hate this new style, randomly cuts off the story and then a monotone voice completely makes you lose interest. Let the guest talk, you don’t have to walk the listener through it.

Absolutely love the new format!! Becky you are awesome and these stories although sad are amazing to listen to with your insight.

I love everything about this podcast. Becky, I love your voice during the narration! So soothing and calm. You should seriously look into narrating audiobooks. I’d buy them 🤪 PS- see you at the Durham live showwww!!! 🤍

The episode with Kail was so emotional and really well done.

Love the new format!

Could not finish due to the way she is narrating!

The voice over sounds like a documentary. It’s slow paced and not making me pay attention. I suggest trashing that. It doesn’t make me want to listen to another episode.

I love listening to this podcast, it’s about real everyday people living through real life experiences. The new layout makes it a smoother listen. I like listening to celebrity talk too but sometimes you just want to listen to people you can relate to and this podcast does just that.

The fake NPR wannabe voiceover ruins an otherwise fantastic interview

Love Becky! But the new format is really rough and I do not like it at all. It feels like it cuts off the speaker, it’s a little too chaotic and it’s hard to follow. The first person point of view would be all right if it wasn’t in that soft annoying voice.

No thanks

I loved this episode and the narration was amazing. Looking forward to part 2.
