You should be listening…

Shocked there are so few reviews. The imagery is impeccable and rich. The actors are incredibly skilled. Soundscapes are completely immersive. The writing and use of narrator is smart and purposeful. Instantly engrossed by the story and invested in Calliope. Perfect thing to binge then regret having no more episodes to play.

Love it, nice work

These episodes are great! The voice actors and narrators have done a great job and I like the use of a narrator a lot. Most podcasts like this don’t utilize one and it helps to bring the sounds, sights and smells of the environment to life. I’m really looking forward to future episodes and finding out more about the story of Professor Paimon, Sydney and Calliope!
