Very Interesting
Really enjoyed the storytelling and production value of this podcast. Great storyline. Music enhances and gives depth to the story. Definitely an homage to Serial and other well done podcasts. *Possible Spoilers First Episode: The voice actor for Lia Haddock is well done. Stylistically, she sounds genuinely interested in the story while coincidentally sounding clinically detached. An observer taking part. I will agree with some other listeners that the voice acting for some supporting characters, in particular the survivors' families, detracted from the story. Since there is no other medium other than their voice, all focus is on the quality of their voice acting. Odd placement of emphasis, false tones, a pause that seemed. . . forcefully dramatic - these are the things that can and do detract from the overall quality of the podcast. Side note: Was there something odd in the recording of the first security personell that told the recorder to move away? Episode 2: In where the epitomous Winona appears. . . . and is perfectly eerie, at times. In Episode 1, Limetown did a superb job in bringing Haddock out of the studio and into the town itself. The voice acting allowed listeners the opportunity to visualize the inwardly rotting Limetown. And it does it again, when Winona speaks about her memories of what happened in Limetown. Unfortunately, what happened right before with the exchange between Haddock and Winona in the motel sounded stilted. The acting didn't portray a closed motel room. Instead, it sounded like two actors reading lines. It isn't until Winona speaks of Limetown that the storytelling becomes better executed. The soundtracked helped but Winona did well laying out the groundwork of the odd memory all by herself. It's the exchange between the two characters before and after (save for when Winona was upset) that sounded too much like a Reader's Theater. Other than these small asides, I'm very interested in Limetown. The mystery is engaging and very well done.Read full review »

Fiction, I do not need to listen to a made up story. This is not serial, thank you for wasting my time with the first two episodes.

This isn't documentary, but radio play. The actors aren't very convincing and within a minute I looked up to see if it was documentary or a work of fiction.Read full review »
