Unplaced tells the story of a woman who wakes up one day to find that no one can see or hear her, and everyone she knows is slowly forgetting about her. That would be weird enough...but after a few weeks of being invisible, she finds she's not the only being other people can't see.

Wish there was more

I don’t know what happened to this podcast but it was really enjoyable. Highly recommend if you want a quick podcast to try audio drama. Sounds very good and has an interesting story

Impactful

Lots of self discovery and explorations of ones relationship to themself and the world around them. Super relatable and interesting. Well written.

It’s okay

If you liked Alice Isn’t Dead, you’ll like this one. They have VERY similar vibes. The main reason I couldn’t get past a few episodes in was because of the sound design and awful background music. I generally like realistic sound design in my narrative podcasts and this is certainly not that. The sounds chosen for SFX really didn’t do it for me and the heavy, constant background music completely distracted me from what was going on in the story.
