  • Rich story telling

    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.

  • Folksy grit meets magical realism

    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 Can of Audio Soul Food

    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.
