Wonderful Stories, Wonderful Editing

Review title is basically my take! I also appreciate how the form of the podcast — individual stories/voices, subtle ambient stuff to bring them to life — isn’t something I’ve seen before. Major props to Kori for this series, can’t wait to see what he & the rest of the team make in the future.

Pure gold

Kori creates this amazing space for people to share a piece of themselves. It’s absolutely lovely. While I never had the privilege of meeting Kori in my time at Mac, I remember being so impressed by the content he created for the Mac Weekly. I’m very grateful he has created more.
