The Folium Diary

Each episode is a short creative dialogue. Sometimes it’s a little preachy, but still interesting nonetheless. I don’t see a plot though, which leaves me confused. Guess I’m taking it one standalone episode at a time.

I wanted to like this! It seems like a cool daily update. It’s too short and doesn’t really go anywhere. It’s a 20 something who is written like a 14 year old in a hotel room on some special school project. You’ll think the company will be some cool drama. Nope, almost done and nothing really happens so far. It also runs about 2 minutes after the introduction so you don’t get much room for forward movement and it shows. There is some teen level relationships, but those stories are also extremely underdeveloped. I just keep wanting something real to happen but it doesn’t. No story, no character development and no conflict. Just minor 14 year old teen drama from a 22 year old character.

It’s a fun and creative approach in a unique format.

I have tried very hard to like this podcast, but after 70 episodes, it still makes absolutely no sense to me. It comes across, at least to me, as the disconnected musings of a creative writing class dropout. I do like the format—short, daily updates, but the content leaves a lot to be desired.
