Essential

Always great content in this pod. Loved listening to the 2017 Sarah Award winners, but the hosts chatting over the pieces' opening sfx/scene-setting was pretty much unforgiveable. In general I fast forward over the hosts' chatty preambles which are at least four times longer than necessary and at worst insipid.

Very Good!

You won't find the usual tired parodies here. Only truly original content of all genres and superb acting & production. I love audio drama and have tried them all. This is one of my favorites.
WELL DONE!
