Dirt - An Audio Drama

This is a well made and very interesting and engaging audio drama. I am so glad I decided to start listening. I’m addicted.

A well told, fun story. Familiar enough to follow along, yet enough twists to be engaging and maintain your interest. Love it!!

EDITED REVIEW! Voice acting improves as the show progresses through the first two seasons. Then regresses in seasons 3 and 4 with jarring pauses every 3rd word, sometimes mid word pauses for NO REASON. I cannot understate how fake, robotic and painful this is to listen to. This has gotten BAD. I can’t in good conscience recommend this podcast if this disgusting artificial speech pattern continues. The worst part is that there’s still scenes of normal people having normal conversations without broken cadences in their speech. Just finished season one. Average overall. The “Tannis” style narration seems to stick around. At least the jumping around and secrets for no reason THANKFULLY stop after the first couple episodes. Decent story. Podcast clip ads are annoying. No idea what podcast is being advertised as there’s no introduction to them. By the time I realize it’s not Dirt anymore, it’s too late. It’s confusing for no reason other than to trick listeners into hearing ineffective ads.

The story is pretty decent but the dialogue is hard to deal with. Weird pauses at strange places and they all sound like their reading from a script. Hard to continue.
