- Sharp-witted & impressive acting
So far I’ve only listened to the Juno Steel story line which I thought to have been superbly written, with sharp-witted dialogues (and monologues) like a great noir should have. Original plots and storyline. The acting is impressive, though Joshua Ilon (Juno Steel) really steals the show (pun intended) with immaculate timing and great talent for both comedy and drama

Its so gay, I love it. This was recommended to me by a friend and I love the queer artists so much. The story is amazing, love the characters and am so invested in Juno‘s story line and his relationship with Peter.

This podcast is insightful and decently well written, interesting characters and delightful world building. I enjoyed the earlier seasons much more than the later ones though, and found that the later seasons tried to do too much, and lost some impact.

Canada4 months ago - A wonderful message to those struggling with depression
Didn’t listen to much of TSC, but avid listener of TPP. When I started listening to this show, I was in a bad place mentally. I related to Juno Steel a lot in the first bit of the show, but I thought that he was way cooler than me because he had worse trauma and worse coping mechanisms. Since then, I’ve healed, I’ve gotten better, and *spoiler alert* it is absolutely incredible to have followed Juno Steel as he healed as well. Knowing by the end of the show that we both had aged, healed, and got... more
