  • Beautiful words and melodies

    My favourite part of their work is that it doesn’t sound like any other work. It’s a mille-feuille of soundscapes, melodies, rhythms. It’s the podcaster’s wall of sound. The non-narrated scripting is orchestral. When the execution is at its most perfect pitch, you’re swallowed up in a 3-D world that you can smell. You’re made to feel alive, while you dine on an audio feast. Afterwards, you’re full.

  • One of my favorites

    Excellent storytelling, editing, and interviews. Radiolab first introduced me to the audio tapestries that are possible on radio / podcast. Kitchen Sisters transports you to hidden kitchens and other oral histories. My favorite episodes are the Sam Phillips episode about Sun Records, and the one about barbecue pits.
