Fascinating story
Such a breadth of historical and cultural insight here. You never quite know where the story will take you next. I love listening to Noah’s voice and all the other characters. A wonderful hybrid between a radio play and narrative storytelling.
Making The Cut is such a treat!
I listen to a lot of audio books & podcasts. What sets this story apart is that each character is played by its respectable voice accent/representation so as to engage you right in the scene, evoking a feeling you’re getting an insiders play by play of the details. I can close my eyes while listening and am transported to the particular scene/environment of the moment. Looking forward to following the rest of the narrative! Very well written, cast, edited and produced.
