madcheshirekatt

definitely more podcast than any other podcast i’ve listened to, i’d say. hilarious, wonderfully done, perfect amount of crabs
Fantastic concept, middling execution

This is a great idea for a show, but the individual cuts are rarely amusing. Had hoped it would find its footing with time, but no luck.
Hard to find from promos but funny

It sounded like “Sound Tea” the first four times I listened to your promo. I suggest hitting that P in heap a little harder to get to North American ears ! I think it’s too funny to hide under a silent P.
Sound Heap is undeniably one of the podcasts EVER

It’s legitimately a podcast, able to be listened to by (in my opinion) virtually anyone who can listen to other podcasts as well. Noises? Check. Word(s)? Big check. Podcast? Almost entirely. I almost gave Sound Heap only 4 stars since it doesn’t allow you to order food, sundries, and other home goods because it’s a podcast, but that’s a minor gripe that I have with ostensibly every podcast I’ve listened to in the past few decades. If deducted a star in light of that for Sound Heap, I’d have to go back and deduct a star from all the other products I’ve reviewed. That’s a lot of work. As a final note, I’ve been making some progress on a fantasy novel that I’ve been writing, and it has been a really enjoyable process. I think the soft magic system has been especially fun to tinker with, and I frankly feel like I haven’t seen another one quite like it. I play a lot of D&D, so I feel like I’ve been around the magic system block, so to speak, where the buildings are different iterations of mana, the people are spells, and the street buskers are cryptic origins with tenuous magical loopholes in the established system’s practical arcane mechanics. I always says I’d never write another novel, as the ones that I wrote when I was younger were kind of trash in retrospect, but in that same breath, I’d also say that I was/am incredibly proud of that young man’s determination and unabashed creativity. For years, I felt estranged from that boy, but through a lot of self-work and gentleness, I feel as though I have found him again. 10/10 Sound Heap is one of the podcasts EVER! On god. No cap. I can’t wait to start listening to it. “Tell me you love me For I need another thing To prove myself right.” -Boyboy the haiku man
