  • such a sweet show! a slice-of-life, absurd & surreal comedy-drama about an alternative reality Boston. lots of fun characters, though the sheer number of them can get a little confusing sometimes, especially later in the show. it's about how they all relate, the selves they used to be/are/want to be, how good intentions balance with help and harm. it's got a lot of great queer rep, the writing is really good, the sound design and music are great, it's quite funny, voice actors are wonderful, jus... more

  • Wow just wow

    This podcast hits all of the marks: writing, imaginative story lines, acting, production, and it makes me homesick for a town I once called home.

  • Great Show! But…

    But I seriously cannot stand the lip smacking that Leon’s sister does when she monologues. I’m trying to get thru it lol. But oh lord. Smack smack smack. Really wish stuff like that didn’t irritate me so much! But other than that, it’s a great podcast. Thanks for making it! And Leon’s sister: you’re great- the problem is me, not you. Your acting is 🏆. ❤️
