Customer Reviews
Intoxicatingly intimate
This breathtaking beautiful, heart-achingly honest observation of a love affair has left me feeling like I was at the heart of the story - why? Because it plays with all the unique things that make podcasting special and different from radio. I really think this has set a new high standard for drama podcasting. I’ll eagerly look out for more productions from this team. More please!
Very well made, thought-provoking
Thank you for an excellent podcast, this series has been an excellent example of the format at it’s best.
Hope there are future episodes, but only if the standards are maintained and not just ‘because’. Stick with the quality of script, music, acting, production et al...
and well done!
Funny, Sad and thoughtful
This podcast is an example of how the podcast genre has evolved into its own art form. It’s witty, thought provoking, sexy and cuts gut wrenchingly close to the bone. I enjoyed every moment, well done to all involved, encore.
