Atmospheric charm

“This podcast is more of a mood and atmosphere than a story—the “plot” is secondary to the collection of audio cues for nostalgia and sentimentality. It’s a charming echo of radio variety shows of yore, and the audio is well-engineered. Many of the voices fit this pastiche too, adding depth to the charm. But ultimately this is all surface-level niceness, and the plot is too thin. I don’t really mind it—I like to repeat several early episodes because they are so well made and evoke another time and place.
I agree with others who find the janitor’s voice annoying—it sounds like an adult trying to sound younger by mumbling, pitching higher, and not using his full voice. It does sound a bit like he’s on the verge of tears. Rather unpleasant to listen to, but several other voices are fantastic, including the narrator, the cricket, and the radio host. Leticia’s strong French accent is weird, but I guess it adds…something.”
