Customer Reviews
Beautiful. Powerful. Well written.
Took such an intimate and painful experience and somehow made it hauntingly beautiful and captivating.
Decent podcast
I listened to this because it showed up in my feed. This podcast is decent, but is not nearly as good as The Hidden People. I like the voice actors and the music. The sound design isn’t great though. One example is in E2 when Meg is on the swing, it is supposed to sound squeaky and rusty I assume. Instead it overpowers the dialogue, sounding like an elephant cry on repeat. If the sound was less heavy handed, I would rate this higher.
Tear jerker
This was well written and expertly edited. I enjoyed it very much and definitely needed the tissues at the end.
