Bjorn Klausky ,

Impressive!

This podcast is one of the most poetic I’ve come across. There are many different aspects I’m appreciating about it, but I think mainly it appeals to me thru all of it’s subtleties. The words themselves sound beautiful as they seem to form a misshapen puzzle that shouldn’t fit together, but somehow does. I can feel how passionate the people involved in this production are, it shows!
