This review has been somewhat overtaken by events! I've just listened to the podcast (full disclosure: I haven't read the comic), and was going to comment on how a big selling point of the podcast is Dash's voice, courtesy of Peter Zielinski, who manages to infuse the lead character with a winning combination of youthfulness, toughness, and vulnerability. It's definitely noir, but stays away from the 'world-weary, seen it all' type protagonist and leans more into someone making his way in a host... more

I binge listen to this all while at work! Man everything was so good. From the acting to the sound effects I was in deep. I was even getting frustrated cause I wanted to know more. I hope there is a season two and also I will be buying the book so I can see how close I was with imagining everything. Great work guys.
Apple Podcasts5Sakurablossom87United States2 years ago - Yes please.
I may be a tad biased. But hearing the podcast episodes… I’m as drawn into the story just as much as when I first read the books. That’s what good writing does… Makes you forget everything and live in that world. The sound design is exceptional.
Apple Podcasts5ShannaWritesUnited States4 years ago - Love Abendingo!!
Love this episode! Abendingo sounds cute 😍
Apple Podcasts5Lost LlamaUnited States5 years ago - Instant fave
Lovely sound design is reminiscent of old-time radio drama, but Dash is '40's noir for the modern era - funny, self-aware, and more complex than it seems at first blush. I instantly fell in love with the title character and his unusual blend of incisiveness and naiveté. I'm excited to see where the mystery takes him!
