Customer Reviews
In love with this podcast!
The writing in Babalu is so vivid and the characters are so colorful. I was instantly hooked to the story and connections. I can’t wait to take this journey with Lulu!
I WANT MORE!!
Hearing the pilot episode only left me wanting more. I’m waiting for the rest to come rolling out. I would have given five stars if I would have heard a few more.
Engaging storytelling!
I do not listen to many narrative podcasts but I listened to this one and I am glad I did. I found myself hooked within the first 5-10 minutes. Creating distinct characters only through voice is a difficult task but the Director and the actors did a great job. Sound design is also fantastic and helps paint the picture for the audience. The plot is engaging and the ending left me intrigued about where Luisa's (Babalu's) journey would lead her. Also, so refreshing to hear a story from a female voice and featuring so many distinct female characters. I look forward to discovering more about Babalu & her mysterious mother in upcoming episodes.
