Love it!
Love this podcast! Great writing and production quality. Hope he comes back for another season soon!
Very informative and relaxing. I love the background music and ambience, thank you for the awesome podcast.
E. S. shows through his compelling writing that nothing is mundane when it comes to secret passages and tunnels, and there are good stories lurking everywhere. E. S. has a fantastic voice to listen to and the little flourishes of humor really give this podcast heart and whimsy along with its serious (and deep – see what I did there?) subject matter. Highly recommended!
ES Rodenbiker will take you on a journey through hidden passages and tunnels to reveal history’s forgotten past. Each episode is well worth your time!
This is a stellar series. The writing and storytelling is really compelling. E.S. Rodenbiker takes the listener to fascinating places and times showing curious and deep interconnections along the way. A listen can change the way you see the world.
I am loving this podcast. New, imaginative, and innovative look at the secret pathways of life. Audio quality is clear and crisp— but even more importantly writing and concept is fabulous .
I love your stories and how you research topics, too! Best of all is listening to you read your stories!
Super fun and intriguing tales! E. S. Rodenbikers’ soothing and melodic cadence transport you to the mysterious and the bizarre. Kind of wish he would read me bedtime stories.
E.S.! Great storytelling! Really loved how a place so familiar can be reimagined. Can’t wait for the next episode- keep it up!
This is so good! I already can’t wait for the next one!
