Customer Reviews
How about a come back???
This was a very interesting podcast, enjoyable, complicated characters, the podcasts was different and should continued, and I wish it would, couldn’t wait for each new episode to come out, so how about it, there seems there is no way to contact the writers, in an effort to resurrect this fine podcast.
Great, with a huge caveat - no ending in sight
Really intriguing concepts, great characters, excellent writing. But as of May 2023, there haven't been any episodes since 2020. Three years. Doesn't seem like they're geared up to do any new ones either. No activity on their Twitter, Tumblr, etc. so, if you don't mind listening to a great podcast that never wraps up its actual purpose nor has an ending, and ends on a really big cliffhanger, this is for you. Otherwise, steer clear.
Thank you for making this show!!!
Writing, production quality, and acting are all amazing — it strikes a really nice balance between an overarching story and episodic content, which keeps things interesting, and the premise is intriguing and unfolds in a cool way. The main character is both spunky and realistically flawed, and the show recognizes this (it doesn’t just let her get away with saying anything, which is often my pet peeve about comedy fiction podcasts) and balances her with a great cast of characters. When people say they want diverse representation that isn’t just tokenism, this is what we mean!! Like Jack’s heritage woven effortlessly into the plot??? Depth of character, identity, and backstory even in minor players??? A wlw power couple for the ages??? Yes to all of that, please. Thank you for making this!
