Surprisingly poor sound design and mixing.

I'm very surprised with such a great cast that this was so poorly produced. I've only listened to the first episode but the sound is so bad it's very difficult to understand what is happening. I don't think it was written with this format in mind because the story in this episode is confusing. I assume this is because it's difficult to tell the characters apart, again from the poor sound design. It's also just difficult to tell what's happening. Needs more dialog, less weird noises that don't make sense.

I hope it gets better. I gave the performance high marks because the actors are great and it's not their fault that whomever put this together was asleep at the wheel. I will try again with episode two because I like the cast and the story has my interest. Hopefully it becomes more clear.

Could be good

It jumps around too much. I would not recommend this podcast. It’s difficult to follow unless you’re not doing anything else

worst audible

Story starts off with 2 people going someplace and talking to a guy in local area. Need so much more description in order to understand where & whats about to happen, Victoria can barely be heard and nix background noises. Couldn't listen to all. Normally with audible, you can sit back, close your eyes, to actually visualize location of story. I'm seeing complete darkness of my eyelids, cause my brain is guessing.

Ok. I tried.

Didn't get past the first episode. Sound quality is terrible. As if recorded on an old phone. Hard to keep characters apart. Weird sound effects that presumably belong to the story line aren't explained and therefore a lot is lost. Not interesting enough to hang in there as there is not enough information from the start.

No go for me

No thanks! I barely made ten minutes into this story. It’s just not my cup of tea.

Didn’t make it past the 1st episode

Annoying voicing, confusing storyline and poor narrative. Couldn’t continue listening to try to understand if eventually there was a compelling plot.

Give the first episode a complete listen

It really does an excellent job of world building and pulls you in rapidly after the first 20 minutes. After the second episode you are hooked.
