Captivating

While I admit I’m only two episodes in, it hardly matters—it’s clear I’m listening to incredibly high-quality podcasting.

The scripting is terrific, the voice acting is top-notch, the pacing is the product of great care and thought—and I’m just sitting here waiting for the third episode to drop so I can engage further in this super weird and unpredictable story. Just what I want in a particularly strange October.

Mesmerizing

I loved the soundtrack in the trailer and David’s quiet voice drawing me in to the mystery of his unusual life. Can’t wait to hear more!
Such a mysterious world they are bringing to life...I guess you could say I am creeped out!!
Next installment please!

Very Intriguing

I very much enjoyed the trailer and the first episode. The storyline has drawn me in and I cannot wait for future episodes. The presentation was fantastic. Good job.
