Customer Reviews
Great storyline
I have been listening to podcasts for over 2 years now and I have never been so compelled to leave a review. Nor have I ever left a review for any other podcast. I really enjoyed the storyline and the music. Most of all the message really hit home. I look forward to listening to more podcasts from Make Believe media. Keep up the great work.
Great story
I am enthralled, and I just love the music
Wow
I was going to wait until the end of the series to give a rating, but I just listened to episode 11 and was moved to tears. I listen to podcasts while I clean houses and had to stop cleaning a sink because my tears were making it hard to see. This story is original, heartfelt, deep, and very well acted. The music is outstanding as well. Thank you!!
