Brilliant and Creative

Binged this over 3 days the sound design and sound effects make it immersive. But the character interactions and story is what really makes this pop. It’s obvious the players enjoy each other and enjoy creating stories.

Listen.

So realistic u feel like you’re there! Which is great until you realize you are not there, and you’re actually driving home, alone, laughing with only yourself. Also, it will break you in the best and worst ways. But like totally worth it tho.

This podcast saved my life.

A wise man once said “Good things come to lightning that doesn’t strike the same place twice.”

I don’t consider myself a connoisseur of fine food and drink, but when it comes to this podcast, I would consider myself that. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it makes my heart soar upon the wings of the nightingale.

I love it, and you should too. Or else my name isn’t Anthony Hopkins.

Sincerely,
Anthony Hopkins
