The Jess denham ep is 50 odd minutes of 2 people not saying anything. It’s frustrating to listen to. The interviewer is unable to control the flow. Not sure what I just listened to but it’s not how I survived
I really love the narration combined with the survivors ‘own word’ contribution. Excellent job
I looooove the narrators voice and the sound quality of each story is really good! I enjoy the pacing of the stories as well I hope you guys make a new season soon!!
Only the strong survive. Only the weak bully.
I like how the story is told by the person who went through it but the sound effects added are just a little to much for me & I wish the title didn’t spoil the stories so much
