Customer Reviews
Best podcast overall
This is probably the best and most thought provoking podcast of all time. It seems on brand for NPR to run from it but it’s too bad because it was amazing
This podcast has me captivated
This podcast is one of my favourites, I love how it flows, I love the hosts, topics and the moments of non zen. Super intriguing, interesting and mind opening.
What happened?
The first seasons of invisibilia were mind bending, soul searching, the best kind of podcast made. It was amazing! I don’t know what happened but the last season has slipped. And now rebroadcasting other shows reviews of Real Housewives??? I’m super disappointed and just hanging on hoping in my heart that the production level will come back to what it was at the beginning. That being said, if you are reading this wondering if you should listen, def start at the beginning episodes and work your way to present, the first seasons are absolutely spell binding.
