  • Amazing book

    It was really good and it helped me fall asleep, but basically every time I listen to the podcast, I’m always halfway into the book and then I go to sleep so I really don’t need the endings but I’m sure they great like the beginning

I also hope that maybe you can put a description in th... more

  • It’s all good until a character walks in

    Really enjoy the atmosphere and narrators voice, the only problem I have is sometimes the vocal choices for certain characters can be particularly harsh or jarring and wake me back up
