Customer Reviews
Incredible
This podcast is incredible. I stumbled upon this while searching for a podcast on a recent long drive. I started the first episode and was immediately hooked. The storyline is unique. Acting is great. Writing superb. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to hear a great story! My only complaint is I wish there were more episodes! Please make a season 2!
Weird...and where is it going??
I really wanted to like this. It definitely had me interested and I was hoping for some twists or some great reveal or something coming together in the last episode or something, but it really just had some weird events in it that didn't really fit or make sense and it didn't come together well. Even if the intention is to continue the story with a 2nd season or something the last episode ends in such a bizarre, almost pointless way it just made it seem like a waste of time building for that.
EXCEPTIONAL
This podcast is real. It’s a great representation of the full spectrum of emotions that make up life.
It’s funny, sad, dark, irreverent, infuriating, vulnerable, frightening , unconditional love, resignation, faith, sacrifice, hopeful.
The writing is flawless, authentic and familiar as I remember thinking some of the same things when dealing with a loved one dying of cancer.
It grabs you and expertly guides you along with building tension and suspense.
The voice actors were excellent and utterly believable. Top notch quality all around.
I wish there were more podcasts like this.
