I love the soundscapes, and the way the authors take you into their world. I'm an avid reader of fiction and non-fiction... I hadn't heard of many of these authors but now I will definitely be checking out their work. I hope Audible produces another season of this show!

Amazing podcast series, great production!

Not impressed with the maaterial presented. While not a native Hawaiian, I have lived on O'ahu for over 20 years... plainly put, this subscription didn't work for me.
