One of the things I love about this show is that each season focuses on one story, allowing the characters to really explore their situations. I also really like their season three take on science fiction in the third season. In a handful of episodes, they create a space travel audio drama invaded by one of the magic characters. There’s also an interesting subversion that the sci-fi world is a little backwards in our modern understanding of tech while the fantasy character has a much more modern understanding. I’m looking forward to hearing more!
This is an adorable modern fantasy, full of whimsy and myth. It takes a little to find its footing in both writing and voice-acting, but like any show that wants to succeed, they improve by leaps and bounds in their second season and have left us a nice little cliffhanger for season 3! And how can you resist somewhat all-seeing Mirrors that force you to rhyme for you answers? I listen to this show when I want I need something heart-warming.
Saffron and Peri channels something like The Phantom Tollbooth. It feels modern, but also fantastic and magical. There's this constant sense of whimsy and fun that sets it apart from a lot of audio dramas out there. Definitely worth a listen, and in the "great for all ages" category!
This show is so nice and reminds me of the children’s lit I love to rest when I have free time. It’s so carefree yet detailed, and combines character types from a variety of mythos to create a truly unique story. I’m always delighted by new updates and the framing device of a call center is so clever! Well done
