Customer Reviews
Incredible
6/5 stars Before listening, I wasn’t especially familiar with the pilgrim’s progress, though I’m sure I’ve probably read the kids version and seen in a children’s church play. I am super glad I found this podcast though, both for it’s excellent audio adaptation and the insightful digression episodes. Now that I’m caught up, I keep checking to see if new eps have dropped (wait are these released on a regular schedule?). I’ve been telling people at my church about it too, cuz it’s that good.
Zach’s voice acting and narration makes it truly feel like I’m watching a movie in my mind. I guess I should also thank John Bunyan for writing it in the first place. I’d say anyone who’s been a Christian for any number of years will see how accurate this allegory is to daily life. There have honestly been times in my own walk that I’ve thought back on something that was said in this podcast and benefited from it.
Can’t wait to hear the rest of the story!
What a blessing
This whole series is like sermon I didn’t know I needed. I absolutely love it. I just started, but i can’t wait to listen to the rest!
Fantastic storytelling and so much learning
I found this podcast maybe a few weeks ago and I have INHALED it - I'm actually very sad to have to wait for new episodes now. 😂 The plot episodes are excellently crafted storytelling - the build-ups to and subsequent reveals of both Faithful's name and Hopeful's burden had me literally involuntarily punching the air, and I've been thinking about the way Zach-as-Faithful said the line "Oh, that's beautiful" at least once a day since I listened to Chapter 14. The digression episodes are so full of wisdom and I adore learning so they're absolutely just as wonderful as the chapter episodes. Also the comedy in the digression episodes cannot be overstated (I was nearly in tears laughing over the throwing-cards-into-people's-backpacks story). This podcast is like a radio drama, a literature class, and a bible study all rolled into one - I love love love it, and I can't wait for more!
