I DIG IT
Really dug this. Producation and voice acting are pretty high quality. The stories are also quite compelling. It is, in my own words, certifiably dope!
Like a really good audiobook
Haven’t made it through the whole series yet, but this is a really interesting look at local history! Intro theme is super catchy too.
Highly recommend
A wonderful listen episode after episode. Loved listening during the morning commute or an afternoon cleaning! Well done
