This morning I got the following email....
BigFinish
Wed 04:45 Inbox
How much does Big Finish pay you to shill for them? It's pretty ridiculous. You pretend to review their stories but it's pretty obvious that you are their woman.
Is this a fare assessment of my podcast?
Oh and for the record. I am not paid.
I only wish I was. Lol

Lol This is a troll. Pay no heed and continue with giving good reviews to good material.

Just because you are not any of these toxic haters that seem to thrive on the WWW these days, does not mean you are anybody's woman. Must have gotten cold and lonely under the bridge the guy is living under...

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

You enjoy things that this person doesn't. How very dare you!
Ignore it.

Agreed, if someone is bothered by your enjoyment, that’s their sad prerogative. Honestly, that they get the need to email that shows how poor their time is spent.

Just someone with an axe to grind, ignore them and carry on.

I enjoy your podcasts just the way they are - rambling and all. They are short, sweet, and get the point across. Just keep on keeping on. Ignore the troll.

As some one from not so great Britain... I can't take any more ego stroking
Cheers for your kind words.

You can never have enough ego stroking in my humble opinion, so keep doing what you obviously enjoy doing (you are after all one of the many contributors to my ever expanding audio wish list..😊) and laugh off the words of a very, very sad little individual.

Someone took the time out of their day to write that email? What a waste of everybody's time.
Forget it. Forget them. They've no power over you. If you enjoy what you do and it brings cheer to others, that's two very good reasons to keep at it.

Too enthusiastic?
No, because excellence deserves enthusiasm and BF produce excellence. So keep being enthusiastic about it!

Absolutely right. You take time to provide podcasts and reviews etc which you enjoy, and other people enjoy also. This gammy little nasty takes time to communicate rudeness and negativity that no-one enjoys - not even, I suspect, the one who wrote it.

I will admit that I am a little lapse in my listening to your podcast, but I've always enjoyed the fondness and interest you've put into the things that you've reviewed

I don't think you are unnecessarily enthusiastic, you point out faults when you come across them - just in a lighter and forgiving way. Certainly there was criticism in your S11 reviews, albeit tempered with the realisation that you might be on the higher side of the target audience. Our culture seems to be obsessed with "I love this, it's the best thing ever" or "I hate this, it's utter rubbish" with no room for any middle ground. I've no idea how we got here.
I sometimes worry about being overly positive in my BF reviews for CultBox and IMU, but I enjoy most of BF's output and always find plenty that is positive to say without trying too hard. Do people *really* want to hear reviews which slag everything off? I know I don't!
If you're genuinely enjoying what you hear, don't let some negative nut with an axe to grind put you off. Just weigh that lone voice against all the other listeners who are happy - and you know they are happy because they wouldn't listen if they weren't!

Your recent review of the War Master 2 proves you are not.
What I would likel you to do is revisit older releases where your can give a bit more insight into what you liked and occasionally didn’t like, rather than having to cut yourself off through fear of spoilers.
I have been a subscriber for many a year and always enjoy your podcast - so thank you for all that you have done.

I expect the moderators would have a word or two with me if I posted the response I think you should send that person. Let's just say........it would not be a particularly nice response.
