  • So normal - so excellent.

    This is one of the best shows I’ve ever listened to. Wholesome yet irreverent. So normal yet fantastical. A truly lovely production.

  • Beautiful world building and incredible actors!

    Absolutely worth the listen - The sound work and ambient sound choices is also really well done and pulls me in. - Came here on recommendation from Anthony Burch, if you’re familiar with him and the daddies crew, this is absolutely nothing like it and I absolutely love it and the change of pace.
