Our curated selection of reviews
This is hands-down one of the most gorgeously written and produced podcasts I’ve ever heard in over a decade of listening. It’s a journey for the imagination and the mind, and each story is lovingly told over a beautiful, high-quality soundscape of audio. I absolutely recommend this to every curious romantic for hours of emotionally-stimulating and educational listening.

I'm only part way through the second season yet I've learned quite a bit about so many things I didn't even know existed. The concept is great and so far, most of the subjects have been fascinating. Sure, every one isn't going to "be a hit", but that's just personal preference. The only issue I've had to this point is that sometimes I'm not sure who is saying what. It comes off a little muddled as to the when the host is interjecting commentary or not. Still, a good podcast and I would recommend it.

I’ll echo most of the positive reviews- this is a lovely and well produced pod. I’ve found myself intrigued by topics I thought I’d skip (synthesizers- who knew?)… but there’s definitely an episode here and there, more often recently, that I’ll skip through and not finish. But all the gems mostly make up for it

No. You can’t do this to me. This is actually the best podcast I’ve found. Can’t listen to it constantly bc it’s not that kinda cast. But, once a week or so, tune in for something wholly unexpected and thoughtful. The rang of topics is refreshing and I need more.
In particular, I very very much appreciate the historical music episodes.

…if they would just let the interview be the focus. The podcast is over-produced to the degree that it distracts from the interviews and is near-unlistenable. Then, of course, iHeartRadio’s mandatory three ads every 15 minutes break right into the episode without warning, ruining any chance of success the extra experience the “soundscape” is trying to create. Some ad bumpers would be a good idea, especially with the shock and awe type of ads that iHeart tends to favour.
I came here specifically from Strange Arrivals, which is produced by the creator of this podcast. Thankfully the soundscape-style is muted on Strange Arrivals (which also has ad bumpers), unlike on the “UFOs” episode of ephemeral on which this review is based. I won’t be listening to any other ephemeral episodes.
