Customer Reviews
fun
late at night I cracked open a beer and listened. It was like I was at an old bar listening to a tall tale from a character you would never expect would have such a fun story. Maybe it's more the way it's told (edited) or the beers but in either case its a great listen.
Appropriately Unsettling
The episode Fairweather Enlightenment is a weird and winding portrait of a personal experience so immediately relatable it hurts. Mallioux embeds with his subject like a reporter at war; the connection is tangible and though a story set in the suburbs it is tinged with a sense of very real danger. Awesome stuff.
