This is an impressive audio storytelling adventure, mixed with conversations with experts and soundscape episodes. And it helps that the material trips all my post-apocalyptic triggers!
It's likeable, but kind of goes nowhere. ending felt a bit flat
liked it, but poor finish
Wow! Just wow!
Love this so much! More like this please, so hard to find new podcasts which play like audio books. Super interesting & gripping throughout, even the chats in between episodes were great! The lady who plays the main role is so incredibly talented too! So much love. Keep them coming BBC
