Maura_T ,

very high quality storytelling

I started with one episode, just to try... and in a couple of days I was hooked. Every story is intense, surprising and intriguing, just as promised. The actors are really good and the sound effects... it just seems like you are in there. I listen to The Truth in my daily commute on the subway, and people stare at me while I laugh or smile or make some scared face listening to the stories in my earphones.
