Immediately involving.

This is great- it has a really affable and relatable lead, an intriguing storyline accessibly told. Makes radio drama look easy- and it most definitely is not.

Excellent

Its so hard to find a well written and voiced podcast. Most can be slow and drag so much before anything happens. I LOVED this.. the main lead sounds great showing all emotions. Love the humour too. Wish there were more like this.

Decent Story, Very Shouty Wayne

This is a decent story, but the Wayne character only appears to be able to talk in a very loud voice. He’s quite potty mouthed too, which isn’t an issue for me but if anyone is bothered by lots of F-bombs then maybe this isn’t the podcast for you.

I think Wilkins is actually my favourite character, wonder why they gave him a Welsh accent though.

Looking forward to seeing how the story pans out.
