cannot recommend enough

i absolutely adored this podcast, from start to finish. the writing, voice acting and sheer heart of it was wonderful all the way through and there were several points where i found myself laughing so hard i couldn’t breathe (“twpsen” made me howl, diolch!!!). i would not hesitate to recommend this podcast to anyone looking for short, sweet, and lovely content. or to anyone at all, really!!

Agonisingly good

No other audio drama makes me feel so good about myself. I listen to Monstrous Agonies and I can’t help but feel that everything is going to be okay in the world. The letters and the responses have made me both laugh, cry and re-evaluate what kind of person I want to be. The format of the show sounds like it would run the risk of becoming repetitive but the creator has found a way to balance fresh ideas and running jokes within each new episode and I have too many favourite letters to count! I don’t want it to end!

MTJ06 ,

A chilling delight to colour to.

This show has provided a brilliant comfortable background to colour and write to, the narrative is fascinating and the voices are all the perfect mix of calming and refined.
