China2 years ago - Beautiful and heartfelt
This is one of the most beautiful and well put together podcasts I have heard in years.
Captivating music, beautifully sung and incredibly well acted. The sound effects are stunning, it transports you to the island and whilst I listen I am in another place, wild and beautiful.
I love the story and don’t want it to finish, it is pure joy. (I suggest you listen to it with headphones to appreciate the beautiful sounds and music!)
Everyone involved in this should feel very proud!

What a wonderful find. The most beautifully constructed story around the lives of the inhabitants of Hirta. A strong and hardy community that faced many challenges in an almost inhospitable climate and how the eventual outcome was unavoidable. Alongside this , a gentle love story threaded throughout. Not to forget the music which was performed and created so beautifully, always there to add atmosphere.
Such an emotional and inspiring listening experience. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Apple Podcasts5gecko115United Kingdom3 years ago - Great story, bad music
This podcast is great and I highly recommend it! The production is at a commercial level, the story is simple but engaging, the characters are strong, and the acting is top tier. I have only one negative, and it is the music. It's quite bad. The singing is good and there is one song that's a little catchy, but all the lyrics are hokey and forgettable. The grand musical production isn't enough to cover the amateur lyrics. But don't let that deter you. The songs are short and you can obviously fas... more
