Stunning, emotional, and mysterious
25/10/2024
This podcast leads you through a story more draped in mystery and confusion than any modern mysteries. The characters have so much personality and they push and pull you into liking them, disliking them, and loving them all at once. I could not have listened to a better podcast that makes me more emotional than any other media has managed before. I have never questioned the reality presented so much as I have with this podcast.
I hate the janitor with a passion
5 févr.
The podcast itself is interesting and pleasing to the ear. However, the janitor(who is the main character, mind you) is the most annoying thing I have ever heard. I’m not going to lie, it’s 100% his terrible, terrible voice. Why does he always sound like he’s crying or getting ready to cry? Why does he mumble every word that comes out of his mouth? It sounds like he’s playing chubby bunny while having a panic attack. What makes it worse is that when you listen to the commentary at the end of each episode, the voice actor just sounds like a normal dude. So why does his character’s voice make me want to throw myself off of a building? I was hoping that he would die in episode 8 so I wouldn’t have to listen to him anymore. Good Lord.
absolute gem

the moment i finished the two available seasons, i listened to them again and had to hold back from doing it a third time. julian’s voice is very lovely and his singing is even more so. i find it difficult to word the whimsical joy and nostalgia this podcast makes me feel. it’s all quite odd but in a charming magical way. julian’s experiences and feelings sp speak to me very personally in a way no media has before. this show has felt like both a home and an adventure, not to mention such an inspiration!! thank you for making it happen. there just aren’t enough words to explain how important it has become to me.
So so wonderful ❕❕
