Otherworldly, dreamy and so real!

This podcast was like listening to your inner voice expressing and admitting the feelings that you would be intimidated to confess yourself. Emotionally explicit and sincere. The sound effects and the narration soaked me up into another world. Endlessly grateful for all the creators to make this art happen. This has been a great discovery for me. Looking forward for more projects. All love to you!
