“Both the story and production fall well below current podcasting standards.
I won't post any spoilers, so it will be a little difficult to explain my disappointment with the story. There are many threads and ideas that just fade quietly away, and also many threads and ideas that come into the latter part of the story more or less out of the blue. Either these frayed threads should be pruned away, or the story should be expanded considerably to fully incorporate them. I'd favor a lot of trimming and a little expanding. The story mentions a web site that I think could be an interesting part of an expansion. As the story stands, the further I listened, the less I cared about the characters and the plot.
When it comes to production, I give podcasters a good deal of leeway. I'm paying nothing to listen, so I'm not going to criticize if someone has an inexpensive setup, lacks an extremely quiet space for recording, or doesn't have a terrific voice via training or good fortune. I do expect the podcaster to respect listeners, however. There's at least one point in the latter part of Sleepwalker (Episode 8?), for example, where the reader stumbles over a sentence multiple times. All of the stumbles are left in the recording. There are multiple cases of similar errors. An occasional trip over a word isn't a problem, because it passes before my mind is pulled out of the story. The bloopers in Sleepwalker pulled me out of the story too many times.”

The first reason is that the author just didn't have a good speaking voice & I couldn't help but...”Read full review »

“Good story, but the author needs to get a good narrator to read for him.”
