The White Vault

I cannot stress enough how great this series is! Engrossing storytelling, great voice acting and sound effects. Truly binge worthy!

I started this today. On season 2 now. But, the “Spanish” is really making me not want to keep listening. This is coming from someone that is Mexican and can speak both languages. It feels forced. The accent is way off, it sounds more Italian than Mexico City Spanish. I say that because one of the creators of this podcast was trying to go for that style of Spanish. It’s not even close. I get what they are going for but it really falls short. I like that they are trying to incorporate different languages into it but it just doesn’t flow. I am very interested in the world they are trying to build but the language stuff is just not doing it for me. Every time Rosa “tries” to speak Spanish and then follows it up with English makes me say, why? She can clearly speak great English. I don’t know. I’m going to try and finish it because I am interested in the story and the world but… we’ll see how far I can get.

Quite enjoying this “Blair Witch” type “found audio and writings” pod. Thru season two and it keeps me hitting play.

I love this podcast so much. The story in the first three seasons was great, but recently I felt that the story has gotten boring. This most recent seasons has been really slow and tedious. I also feel like the writing has gotten worse. It makes no sense to narrate every action in the hotel and some of the dialogue is just bizarre. It doesn’t feel like a human is saying it. I really hope this is just a bad season and it will get better but I don’t think it will.
