  • Half the podcast is commercials

    I loved the Stealing Superman story. I thought then that it was a little heavy in the commercials but it was worth it. I’m now listening to the Swordquest story and half the episodes are commercials. The episodes end with 7-8 minutes left. Those last minutes are commercials. The first 3-4 minutes are commercials, plus 2 commercial breaks during the episode. Makes it tough to want to listen to

  • Engaging, even if you're not into comics (😳)

    Confession: I don't even like comics, couldn't care less about collecting them, but still got engaged in this podcast. The storytelling is a bit chaotic at times, but still engaging. I appreciated learning about elements of collecting, and art heists more generally. Don't pass this up just bc you don't care for superheroes.

  • Good Story, Horrible Narration

    The story was definitely intriguing but the narrator made it almost unlistenable. Her delivery was so grating - the slow, over pronunciation, enunciation, etc. A producer should’ve noticed it & rectified it prior to release, or re-recorded with another narrator.
