I can no longer support this podcast

I really loved this podcast up until I found out some of the sketchy things that Alexa Riley (Lea & Mel) have done. They're known scammers who have book stuffed on Amazon, stolen plots from various authors and have been subsequently banned from Amazon.

I still love that you can get free professionally narrated audiobooks but I cannot listen to this podcast anymore due to the above issues.

Original Review:

I love this podcast because I get to try new authors and listen to professionally narrated audiobooks in bite-size chunks. I'm not one to listen to podcasts, so when I heard about this podcast through a Skye Warren post, I knew I needed to give it a try.

This podcast is a great way to read new authors and find some new favorites. I haven't had a chance to listen to all of them, but it has been fun catching up to the live airing and listening to all of the different novellas.

Always sucks to find out somthing you like is tainted by dishonest behaviour. Thanks for the update / heads up

It it really does stink. I enjoyed the free audiobooks but I haven’t been able to stomach listening to the podcast since reading some of the threads on Alexa Riley.

I still like my desktop but I shop with the app

I prefer to order on my laptop or desktop, but I really like the app for shopping in a retail store. I can shop in a brick and mortar store and check prices on my phone. I can scan a barcode and see if I am getting ripped off and I should just order from Amazon instead. Great app, works well, and all of my data travels with me.

Watched a really good action thriller on Amazon called "Braven" starring Jason Mamoa. Remind me a lot of some of the old action movies from the 80s and 90s. Good acting, great cinematography, well played out (and fairly believable) storyline. He plays a logger who has to fight off drug dealers who've stashed a bunch of drugs in his hunting cabin in the woods. Really well made. I highly recommend this movie if you're into action stories. REALLY worth a watch!

Great for streaming

I won this in a Smashbomb giveaway and wanted to give it a few weeks use before reviewing.

We have a couple of chromecast's, a couple of Amazon FireSticks and now the Roku. I've got to say out of the three I think Roku takes the win. The connection for streaming seems on par with the Chromecast and better than the Firestick's... and it adds the functionality of apps which the chromecast doesn't.

Great piece of kit.

Some good action scenes (0 more)

Little bit predictable, nothing new (0 more)

Without ideas

So this latest Amazon original film has just been released amid quite a bit of advertising. Starring Michael B Jordan it looked like a big budget project with a mix of action and thriller. While it does have some entertaining scenes overall it feels less than the sum of its parts. Almost like ideas and plots from several different spy action films. Rather by the numbers, an ok effort but nothing original.
