Customer Reviews
A compelling story
This podcast is an interesting concept executed well- Madyson is compelling, Max looms large and mysterious, strange and benevolent and well-drawn even as we know nothing about him. Major props to the team behind this.
Waste of time
This would have been so much more effective as a three page short story. I can’t believe they made a 20 part series out of about four plot points. Repetitive and unsatisfying.
Excellent 20 episode radio drama
The narrator really draws you in and paints pictures that are vivid and emotions that are quite poignant. Absolutely worth a listen!!
