Good content but super annoying sound design

All the random ringing and beep boops are distracting, stopped the latest episode midway through

Sephora Kids

Not all kids/tweens/ teens are Sephora kids, not all kids/tweens/teens have drunk elephant. Most 10-13-year-olds need some skin care products so their skin doesn’t break out every five seconds. I’m not giving this a bad review cause I agree that most kids (ages 9-11) do not need skin care, but some 12-13 year-old have skin that is prone to acne. And they’re being called Sephora kids just for having breakouts on their skin and asking for some help. (Mainly trying to boost their self confidence)

Morning

I’m listening to this because I’m going to work today and I need something to listen to in my car on the way to school so that I can laugh it off to keep myself company so that I can get there on time
