  • Though we’re only a few episodes in, I already love Waiting For October! It’s a completely different genre, but contains so many familiar voices from the team’s other show (Moonbase Theta, Out), that listening sort of feels like meeting up with old friends and hearing about their new lives. I really enjoy the halloween-y music and the soundscaping too! Can’t wait to see where this story within a story-world will lead us!
