Customer Reviews
A haunting story
This podcast is very good. It starts being about how Melissa can see ghosts and an incident she had when she was young.
Which is very fitting as it explores how her father’s crimes has haunted her and trying to reconcile the image she had of her father as young and the terrible things he did later, even the abuse. Listening to this podcast as Melissa was able to let go felt like a privelige.
Not to mention the choice of music sublime.
Grei podcast
Sesong 1 - veldig bra.
Sesong 2 - Fryktelig mye reklame i en så kort episode. Historien er forsåvidt bra, men mye avbrytelser med reklame forstyrrer.
Terribly distracting music
Yes, the podcast is interesting. However, I think it would have been so much more listenable/ accessible had they thought a little more about who they hired to produce/write/direct the soundtrack.
The soundtrack is mopey, the lyrics are distracting to the interviews, and the voices of the singers (and this is more subjective) are often cliché and uninspired.
From a full-time musician’s perspective, I feel like the creators of the podcast should have evaluated critically the music they choose to pair with their otherwise interesting podcast.
