Listened to the first episode as part of the PodTales Showcase and I am anxious to hear the rest! From the very first minute this show is enthralling and immersive, with gorgeous sound design, music, and ensemble cast dialogue used to transition between scenes that will remind you of theatre. The settings are vivid, and the cast delivers the lively dialogue with a vigour and energy that reminds me of how older relatives would tell us folk tales. The concept behind the show is one of the best uses of the audio drama format I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, reminiscent of traditional oral storytelling and doing something I honestly haven't heard another audio drama do before. The team's commitment to accessibility is also very clear from the way the YouTube captions have been done - with care and attention to ensure it is easy and intuitive to follow. The show art is also gorgeous. I love this; I want to hear more of this; I am starstruck by the research, love, and care that went into this. Major props to the cast and crew, I can't wait to share Temujin with my family.
