What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Images cut through quickly, giving you an unsparing sense of scene. The writing feels like you’re living in a movie of Sayre’s life, the filter on the lens is just so. You are the protagonist with him, so you don’t mind delaying the main plot to linger on a detail or two, to eat a pomegranate from his yard as seasons change. The sound of this show is unique and intimate. Highly recommend!

Listened to the first episode on a walk around my neighborhood and can’t wait to spend more time with this show. Already hooked to this story Sayre’s telling. Sounds like nothing out there right now, in all the best ways.
