  • One of the best

    Seriously this is one of the best actual plays out there with complex characters, drama, and humor. I do agree with a past reviewer however that it can be very quiet and I can’t listen to it while driving on the highway because my car speakers can’t play it loud enough.

  • HEADPHONE WEARERS BEWARE

    This would be a five star podcast the story is good they are fine and the characters are entertaining. However they have a sound issues, the podcast as afar ,as Apple Podcasts is concerned, is to low of volume and I have to have my headphones at full, which would not be a problem if not for the adds being at a significantly higher volume than the show which is painful if you are not expecting it.
