It’s fine, not stellar

Not every story is for every listener and that’s cool, it’s the same way with all the short story anthology podcasts. I happen to like the pared-down, single narrator style of each episode because my goal is to fall asleep while listening. That being said, I don’t love the narrator’s tendency to lapse into an off-kilter cadence that features a lot of random mid-sentence pauses. If you’re sensitive to the rhythm of words and the flow of speech within the context of storytelling, consider yourself warned.
