Good story. Bad acting. Mediocre writing.
Look, this is worth listening to in their background. It has interesting plot points. When one character is “recording” their thoughts, it’s pretty good, which is counterintuitive. Show don’t tell is a basic general writing principle. But, here, any time two characters interact, this podcast becomes almost unlistenable. The dialogue between characters who are intimate with each other is stilted, formal and shallow. I’ve been binging and need to finish, but it’ll be a slog. Update: Had to stop at Episode 37. I thought the writing and acting were bad with two characters. With four, this is unbearable. This was a great concept that just wasn’t executed well: editing (both sound and text), writing, acting, and character development are all boring.

The storyline itself is great. I listened to several episodes, trying my best to like it, however I just can’t listen anymore. I don’t like first person narratives.
