Customer Reviews
Love this podcast but…
I absolutely love this podcast. I feel like I’m a part of this little family every time I listen and I’m stoked for season 5. I’m gonna be completely honest though Abby as a character has zero redeeming qualities and I find that I roll my eyes every time they speak. They are rude to everyone and truly are such a bummer to the story. I really think there needs to be some sort of revision on how they respond and their dialogue with others. At this point they aren’t adding anything to the story for me and are almost ruining some parts of the story.
Everything else is just perfect. The story is riveting and has my attention the entire time. Always. Keep up the good work!
S’ok
There is a lot of bickering and mean sarcasm. I’m not really into that. Plus the Lily character is so nasty to the mother character
Very solid
Another podcast that thinks all its listeners are from LA so they talk about pronouns and being non binary way too much, but glad I stuck it out cuz it’s getting good! Lily’s character can be quite annoying, Altho I think that’s the point. Also so so so odd to talk about working on occupied land. Maybe the most bizarre stuff I’ve ever heard on a podcast.
Update-of course Abby is now trans instead of non-binary
