Different but oh so awesome

I loved Serial and was hoping for something similar. It is not remotely similar but I found it to be so much better actually.

Beautiful, raw and sad at times

One of the few podcasts, which truefully touched my heart. All the way through the episodes you will discover that there's always a bit more to this story. Read beneath the lines, listen to some great music and great podcast!

Beautiful

Hard to describe, give it a go, it‘s an incredibly beautifully told, serene and touching glimpse into the life of a man that is hard to catch, sometimes unbearable and still leaving a huge impression. A beautiful piece of storytelling!
