Mighty Jupiter ,

Season 2 is AMAZING!!!!

The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is cuz of season 1, which was somewhere between “ok” and “pretty good”. I listened to all of season 2 in 1 day. It was so enthralling.

LifeAfter Sets a High Bar

From the very first episode, which I started off a whim, I was hooked. The voice acting, the story, the music, everything came together to create a unique experience that I won’t forget. Very relevant to our current times, and incredibly thought-provoking, this podcast series sets a high bar and is NOT one to miss.

Amazing

I enjoyed The Message but I freaking loved LifeAfter. Oh my gosh, that last episode!!! It was so stressful I actually had to pause it a few times. Characters were fantastic, writing was superb. Absolutely outstanding. Can’t praise it enough! More please.
