Customer Reviews
Excellent show!!
I am so impressed by the quality of this show!! The story, the acting, the sound scape, the editing. All of it top notch. I can’t believe one guy did all the voices. I’ve heard too many audio drama podcasts where you can tell the actors are recording on their own and not actually talking to another human, then it gets edited together. Sounds totally unrealistic and I never buy it. With this show, even though it’s only the one guy playing all the roles, I still get the feeling actual conversations are happening. Totally pulls me in. Bravo!!
Top notch sci-fi!
Really enjoyed listening to this - the story and characters are very compelling and like all great sci-fi, there are many thought-provoking moments that relate back to RL (real life). Highly recommend!
