Rich details, great performances, riveting story

Rich details, great performances, riveting story. Great directing. Fun weekend listen. The music, sound design, and the voice performances were cinematic.

Immersive story. Excellent.

Between the background music, voice acting and great story, I finished this in one sitting. It was the perfect length and I could visualize it in black and white as an old school noir/ gangster piece. I found out about this from the John Campea podcast that Robert Meyer Burnett is a part of and I will gladly spread the word and recommend this.
