    Would have been better if we’d heard more historical detail about the battles and sieges, and what Charlie was doing throughout each of them.

  • Old school radio plays

    It is a wonder to find this fabulous way of storytelling. Well chosen actors and a good story takes you a long way but there is also the very skillful sound engineering to take you beyond what you expected.

    Strong recommendation.

  • Money Gone

    Fantastic premise for an apocalypse story. Some great actors and elements but also some really weird characters and scenarios, that I think are there for comedic value but unfortunately don’t deliver many laughs or satire and detract what could have been a brilliant drama

    I love the sound quality, the production is spot on, the story and insights and relevancy and the ebb and flow of intensity, the voice actors and plot and all of it is just so good.
