Customer Reviews
Funny, well written and fast paced
Great Australian production that’s an easy and enjoyable listen. I raced through the episodes in two days!
Binge-worthy
Loved it. Fast-paced great story.
Pretty hard to listen
Man, for an audio only format, you would hope that the voice acting would be on point, considering that’s all there is. Nope. Cringe
