Great story

Great story!!

Wide release but…

Glad this awesome story finally got wide release. The cast, story, and sound design are top notch; the actual gold standard for podcasts before podcasts were big.

However I wish those of us who bought it when it came out still had access and didn’t have the app unsupported, deleted, and then have to wait week to week.

Love this so far!

I’m intrigued with the first two that have been released, excited to see how this plays out!
