  • One of the best

    Absolutely gorgeous, totally unique, incredibly riveting. That one person writes, edits, produces, and performs all characters (and there are a lot of characters!) is insane. Jared Carter deserves all the awards. I love what this show says about life, humanity, friendship, family, generosity, and love. I hope we go to Desert Skies when we die. A million stars.

  • Exceptional.

    My first impression was skepticism. However, it started slowly then all at once became not only my favorite podcast but mental respite. Life lessons that were both glaringly obvious yet trigger deeper meanings, emotions, feelings, and subtleties of the characters but also of oneself.
