“Unique voices that teeter on the edge of creepy but somehow end up charming.”
– Sarah Hutchins, Discover Pods
“Perfectly quirky, like Twin Peaks at a swimming pool but more heart. If you love experimental New York theater like Richard Maxwell, or if you wanted HBO’s John From Cincinnati to be good, then you need to listen to this.”
Nick Messitte, Cultural Contributor, FORBES Magazine
“Bizarre and beautiful and not like anything I’ve listened to before.”
– Yuvi Zalkow, author
“It captures people’s intimate concerns, the little thoughts that run through our heads and make us who we are. The small things we make big. It was touching and sweet and realistic while being absurdly funny.”
