Rich story telling BUT you have to pay close attention. Worth relistening if you need to. I had to relisten because the time jumps got very confusing when working at same time. PS: if you’re prone to crying, you’re going to cry.
Thank you to the cast, crew, and creative team behind HOBO CODE for a beautiful story that left me in tears. I recognize that a creative project as vast as an audio drama is no east feat, and I fully appreciate and am grateful for all of the time, dedication, hard work, and heart that was poured into this endeavor. You should all be incredibly proud of this project, and, on behalf of listeners everywhere, thank you for sharing your time and talents with us.
What a beautiful journey this was. The writing is grounded, relatable and ethereal all at once. The honesty and specificity from the performances and high production quality plant the listener firmly in medias res. The music deserves a spot on the cast list as a character all its own. Hobo Code wails into the wind that resilience is a journey, not a destination--a process, not an outcome. Cannot recommend highly enough.

A true treasure for the listener, Hobo Code weaves a poignant, thoughtful tale of survival, friendship, family, and imagination.
What a breath of fresh air! Wonderful music, great story, superb acting. Highly recommended!
It’s like a throwback to those great radio shows of yore. Engaging and fun to listen to. Song, story, intrigue….perfect.
Hobo Code is a cinematic adventure for your ears. Full of soul, we travel through the beauty of life with a dynamic group of outcasts. In the face of their seemingly hopelessness, love and light is never far and often found in the comfort of strangers.
I can’t recommend it more, a must hear.
Great story. Sure pulled my heart strings.
Thank you so much.
This was unexpected and great!
As a podcast enthusiast, I’ve heard the good, the not so good, the could be better, the excellent — and now, the perfect. A magical narrative that I didn’t know I needed. Enjoy!
