Stories from 12 year-olds
This is a pretty decent podcast except for a few things. First, the narrator never introduces a story. This isn’t a problem so much until you get to episodes with multiples stories. They all bleed together because there’s nothing to separate them. At least take a breathe and tell us the title and author, please. Second, one narrator is not enough. Please find some women to play feminine parts. You are NOT convincing, my dude. Besides that, I quite like it. I listened to six episodes or so before coming across a story that was just too cringe-worthy to finish. “Something twisted crawled out from the edge of the universe…(takes a breath)…and it’s coming this way” or something like that. Over an hour long. I was excited! Sounds great! Until I realized it was written by a child - or a very immature adult. They say, “What’s the phrase…?” about six times in one 10-minute stretch. And not for phrases that warrant that kind of question, either. “What’s the phrase? Serial-killer, that’s it.” “What’s the phrase? Existential crisis, that’s it.” “What’s the phrase? Pathogen. That’s it.” “What’s the phrase? Too much of a good thing. That’s it.” Like, are you seriously EXPLAINING these terms and words to your audience right now? Like we wouldn’t have ever heard “serial-killer” before now? Or “too much of a good thing”? And dear God! The subject matter was atrocious! Straight out of a Halo: Adventures with Master Chief paperback, I swear. I wrote a “book” in 3rd grade titled, “Triassic Park.” No joke. I was a child. And IT WAS BETTER than this stupid lizard space alien, Men In Black, video game adaptation schlock. I normally wouldn’t bother complaining except this podcast is obviously better than this. They set their own standards, which proved to be high, and then delivered this sub-par, hour-long space fantasy taken straight from a Mad Libs page at a rest stop gas station. If this was some kind of 1st grade writing competition prize winner, then I sincerely apologize. If that’s the case then I URGE you, please include some kind of introduction so your listeners are prepared for what’s about to come. But if this was a genuine entry, a serious attempt at writing by a grown adult, then HOW did it get past your quality control? Did you even read this story before starting to narrate? I’m not going to give up on the show (mostly because I’ve caught up with my main horror channel: The No Sleep Podcast), but this one story has put such a sour taste in my brain that I’m going to have to take a break for awhile. It’s not me. It’s you. I’ll come back when I’m ready.
