  • It’s ok

    Pretty good show. Why does every podcast seem to tell us the bad guys are right-wing when reality shows us differently? Agenda much?

  • So close…

    It has so much potential, but it has been far too melodramatic, predictable, and the sound effects are overdone and distracting. Characters are somewhat interesting, but most are drowning in tropes and too flat to hold your interest. There isn’t really anyone to identify with or to root for.

  • Engaging storyline, but -

    WHY does the production team think we want to hear graphic, mega loud and realistic gulping/swallowing sounds every time a character takes a drink? I’m 6 minutes into episode 2 and it is about to ruin this show for me. Such great sound production otherwise and I sincerely cannot see what this one little specificity adds to the unfolding of the plot. It is unbearable to listen to the gulping. God be with all of you with sensitivities to eating/drinking sounds.

  • Great show. Slow rollout.

    So far, I am enjoying the series, but the rollout is so slow. It doesn’t even make sense where they broke up the episodes. They’re just milking it for no reason whatsoever.

Bonus Episode: Scarlett Estevez Radio Tour Special
Q: What is the biggest difference between acting in traditional media and an audio drama like this?
Auditioning in a studio without visual cues means relying on imagination and sound design; performances feel more like radio theater where tone, pacing, and internal emotions carry the scene.
