Customer Reviews
A neat podcast novel
I was't sure what to expect from the idea of a podiobook with short stories. But it was better than I had expected. The story collection felt quite natural to read.
The only complaint I will file is that the narrator is a bit too soft for my hearing. Her soft voice felt natural for this story on this realistic story, so It didn't come across as irritating.
I think the story is worth a try if you are interested in a guiled protagonist like pops.
