Slumberland

I am throughly enjoying this unique and compelling story and manner of storytelling. It’s unlike anything else I have listened to thus far, and it is the perfect combination of soothing yet addictive. The characters are so alive and the narrator a perfect companion. I can see myself listening to this over and over.

The whole show is weird, entertaining, and has a neat premise. However, once you get to around the 100th episode to so, it gets… odd. Not sure I follow how or why it goes that direction… seems like the story ended and they weren’t sure where to go, so they did the Bed Bug episodes. Maybe I’m missing something in another episode that explains it or perhaps this was just a creative outlet, but it seemed slightly out of place to me. I came here because of the Ostium crossover and plan to relisten to this one.

Reminds me of some of the more bizarre and surreal Monty Python sketches - a darker, stranger Burnistoun or Portlandia. The episodes are short and sweet chapters in the life of a sight-seer on an island gone mad where doorways to alternate realities and what’s possible and isn’t have been thrown open... ...And so we’re all taken on the most fascinating tour of the place, everywhere on the island (and everywhere has a strange, wondrous story to tell).

It’s odd, quirky, and goofy; with a strong undercurrent of mystery that will carry you into deep waters. Out there, you may find yourself washed up onto the shore of a strange island called Slumberland.
