This show taps deep into a human experience and connection that requires patience. It’s a beautiful story and narrative. It takes patience, and focus... so don’t listen if you will be easily distracted.... and absolutely wear headphones for all of the subtle nuances that feel like you are listening into a very secret conversation, or moment, or instance that can be devastating, yet inspirational. This is a work of art, meant to transport your imagination and meant to tap into your humanity... what it means to desire, love, hate, question, laugh... and ultimately, believe. What an awesome experience. If you love speculative fiction, immersive podcasts and clean, simple sound design... take a listen...
This was a good one!
I thought this episode was slower and less eerie/creepy than the others but it was it was still actually kind of charming. It's a bit of an ill-fated love story. Having said that, I could have absolutely done without the make-out sound effects. Not only are loud mouth sounds always unpleasant to hear but in this case they also sounded like how a 13 yr old who has never kissed anyone thinks it sounds to really go at it with someone. 😂😂😂
couldn't finish this episode. it was kinda boring but also, the sound of her regularly hacking and snorting snot before spitting a loogie was so disgusting I couldn't keep listening.
a deeply boring episode. this is a homeless person's life and death with a dumb alt fiction element tacked on for no reason whatsoever. this is a bad episode.
this episode is so incredibly boring. a clumsy metaphor made literal, of a girl who felt unseen then turned invisible. a tedious love story, a cliched ending. this was honestly a huge waste of my time. was the "twist" that I would hate this? avoid this episode at all costs. and I thought episode 6 was disappointing.
This is tremendously good. There were a couple of stories where I thought, ''no, not my thing'' for the first few minutes, but by the end I was sorry the story finished. Very well written, great casting and highly recommended. I hope there will be a second series. Spoiler Alert: if you are someone who likes everything neatly wrapped up and explained, don't start this podcast...
