Phenomenal Rodney!

Its not just the story but how it is conveyed. I've listened to a lot of mermaid stories in the past but this one stands out from them all and for once I was so emersed that I zoned out from work and appeared like a zombie with earpods on at my desk lol Thanks Rodney and crew, also Mr Ballen for putting together the RUN FOOL series. Please tell more stories!! :)

Great delivery!

I love a creepy love story. Rodney is such a wonderful natural story teller. The sound effects and music enhance the experience.

Abshellutely Merrific! 💙

Yessssss!!! That was awesome!! I've been silently crossing my fins that you'd make a mermaid ep, so I pretty much platzed when I saw this episode's title. XD

Overall I loved everything about it. And having been to Cancun on vacation not too long ago, I could totally picture each scene in this faboo story. 🥰 The only element that took me out of your wonderfully immersive creation was the mermaid's singing. The resounding, operatic quality came off as kinda goofy, rather than enticing or melodic... (Buuut I also know that you sprinkle each episode with a delightful dose of irreverent humor, so this might've been a nod to that. ;))

Should there ever be a do-over or a part 2, maybe think more echoey, haunting & sultry? Even slightly alien, sla the mermaid song on the TV show "Siren..?" 🩵 (Surely there's many interpretations of siren song.. and doubtless some folks might adore that deeper timbre. :) Or perhaps this interpretation was a wink to the classical Greek origins of the siren legend..? What do I know? I'm just a silly modern-day wannabe fishbutt. ;D)

Regardless, I'm gonna share this with all the RL merfolk I know. ^_^ They're gonna LOVE this! 💕🥰💕 Thanks for the merrific ep as always, Rodney! 💕 I freaking love your voice, your storytelling, your witty, wry style, & all the flavor you put into these- both in the story & all the atmospheric mixing! The accompanying audio to your rich vocals makes each and every ep a beautifully crafted, fun (& sometimes legit stomach-turning ;)) adventure for the ears. XD I hope you never stop making these, 'cause theyre a total blast! 🩵🩵 ^_^

another awesome story!

Love story tellers voice! this story really made me "see" the Mermaid in my minds eye from the awesome descriptions. thank you again!
