Simply Awesome

It’s now my fourth time listening to this and it just gets better! The storytelling, atmosphere and the level of production is pure gold in its immersiveness. The detail of research really shows and it’s really fun and emotional journey as a whole. Tears and goosebumps everytime, thank you for making this!

What a journey

This is by far the best podcast series I’ve ever heard. The immersive storytelling, stunning audio and beautiful music created a completely enchanting experience that brought me to tears. My most sincerest thanks to all of you that created Blockbuster.

PS. I was especially happy for giving the music of John Williams such an integral part of the story. What would movies be without music, right?

All the best!
