Customer Reviews
Moonface
First time I am rating a podcast. When I started to listen to the first episode, I wasn’t sure if I could handle all the graphic sounds, (I am 77 years old and grew up on radio stories but not so sexually explicit) however, this has definitely been the best podcast I’ve ever heard and I commend the author for the subtle and sensitive handling of a topic that is so fraught with emotional angst, generational misconceptions and deep caring. I hope to listen to more of Kim’s work.
Mesmerizing!
One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in a very long time. Touching, funny, quirky... the writing is sharp and the music is very well-chosen.
It’s great to listen to this piece of art and to hear a story that I can related too. Too bad I have only one episode left to listen to! Thanks James Kim for your work.
