  • Bring back the old format please

    This podcast is absolute magic. Or I should say, it was. But something changed last year and it became boring and basic. Please bring back the old format. The audio collage that we all felt so lucky to find. It was so special. And we need it now more than ever.

  • Beautiful

    My favourite podcast. Often strange and wonderful. Always well made, insightful, moving, word and sound scapes. Another series soon please!

  • Loved Season 1&2!

    I was so excited about season 1&2. Looooved it. The editing was just exquisite, the pieces poignant and meaningful. I really enjoyed the mix between old and new texts and interviews, I cherished the peak into the archives, the worlds conjured through meaningful but unobtrusive soundscapes.

    But I have to say that the newer editing doesn’t work for me, already on season 3. I liked some of the episodes of the current season - but for me, sadly, it’s lost its magic :(
