2. Jefferson & Adams: The Story of Friendship
I'm going to call you while you're home for the holidays to ask for help fixing my car. LOL. Not funny?
Edit: The producers turned on closed captioning the next day! Thank you. ❤ Original Post: No closed captioning??? Very sad that I cannot utilise this.
Sorry about that! We turned on the captioning and it should be available in a few hours. We hope you enjoy it!
@@Storybounders, Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
Prologue was wayyy too long. Narrator spoke as if to children. Needed music injected. Was the character of Ichabod synonymous was Biden and Katrina of Melina Trump?
Thank you for sharing your feedback-we truly appreciate it! Our podcast format focuses on more than just the stories themselves-our mission it to explore their themes, historical context, and relevance through discussions before and after the story. This approach may feel different from an audiobook or dramatic performance, but it’s central to what makes Storybounders unique. As for the production, we’re continuing to refine the experience. One day when we have more budget and resources we would love to add more music and sound effects to the story itself. We agree that it would make the experience better. Thanks again for being part of this journey with us!
I am not sure why, but when I clicked the "thumbs up", the digit next to it stayed a "zero" instead of "1". Is there a problem?
Very good, Jayme. Very informative. Very motivating. I have found that most of the older fairy tales motivate me for good. It is a great way to teach morality more creatively to our children.
I can’t wait to share these with our grandkids!
Love this story and what an excellent example of friendship in spite of disagreement.
When I stop and think of all the stories that have had such solid influences in my life it really is astounding. Thank you for pointing this out! Keep the stories coming!
So powerful! I’ve always loved great stories of any kind. This makes the ones that I cherish mean so much more. Can’t wait for the next episode! Loved the whole thing!
