Klantrecensies
Love it
It’s amazing how a story about a remote place can drag you into a dream or nightmare about it
Interesting story told with no emotion
Listened to two episodes. The story is interesting, however I could not get into
The storytellers style. Presented/ told in an emotionless, apathetic tone. It makes it feel as if the storyteller has no interest in the subject matter, so why should I?
I do appreciate the storytellers research, but not my bag.
Brilliant
Clearly very well researched and wonderfully presented. Maybe the only detailed information you can find anywhere about places like this. It was sad, happy and definitely different and most of all, it showed me, however isolated, human beings are human beings and fundamental characteristics do not differ, only the channels through which we express, show them does.
