Great podcast

I’m on episode three of the first series, which is a little early to leave a review for me. This is my first time listening to an improvised series so I’m not used to it (star detracted 🙁).

The pauses between words while the actors think up what they’re going to say always gives a sense of awkwardness between the characters (which is always entertaining).

I really love Beatrix’s hilarious positivity even when things are going really badly.
(Wish she’d stop dying though 😢)

Improvised darkish sci-fi. diamondsparkle1

Now into Season 3 of this improvised sci-fi and have enjoyed the characters’ progression, nice voice acting and theme music. Talented improvisers who interact with other so well, Really enjoy the show.

Absurdly Funny

And when I thought it couldn’t get crazier, I discovered @CivilizedPod Most of the time I have no idea what’s going on but it’s killingly funny!
