I actually enjoyed this.

One mediocre episode released two years ago and you’re introducing this podcast on your other mediocre podcasts feed. What kind of gritting is this? This smacks of gritting for listens/downloads to increase your chances of getting more advertisers and thereby more $$$ without releasing any new content, creating anything new or putting forth any effort. In both of your pods you are whiny and entitled.

I love this podcast!! But, can you do something about the quality of your sound? I hear too much lip-smacking and swallowing to a point that I have a hard time paying attention to the story. I have been playing with the equalizer to reduce these sounds but I haven't had much luck. Thanks!

Great stories well done. Love it!

I genuinely loved the Junji episode. Extremely well edited.

What a delightful story…etched in such ordinary and yet extraordinary "Clarity" ... for those seeking love…Must be "true love". So grateful for this heart opening story. And special appreciation for the silent pauses and tasteful accompaniment of music

The story made me cry. Olga and Josef are the luckiest deprived Russians in the world -- and Olga knows it! She was charming. So was the music.

This is one of the best independent podcasts that I’ve come across: spot on storytelling, intricate sound design, tasteful, and fresh.

Good production value. Interesting sounds. Unsubstantiated sob stories. Host is dramatic with overlong pauses. The stories don't seem to have an ending, just an excruciatingly long build up. I've been a subscriber, but I'm deleting.

Don't sleep on this excellent show!

Stumbled upon this podcast through the Twitter community, thanks to our show Couple Things, and instantly got hooked! It's creative and artistic and a must listen! If you haven't heard it yet, trust me, you will love it!

Just getting into listening to podcasts and really enjoyed listening to the story telling. Looking forward to listening to more. Music contributes to story.

I love the concept behind this podcast: what we do when what we've done is a thing of the past. Poetic and provocative, no? Unfortunately, I feel like every episode ends just when I'm really getting into it! It covers a lot of the before, a good amount of whatever it was that served as the impetus to change, two seconds about the response to said impetus, and then it's over- leaving me frustrated with a zillion questions! Based on the tagline, it feels like they spend all their time on the back story and no time on what the story is advertised to be. That being said, I keep listening because it IS enjoyable. It's pretty new (I think) and they are already re-visiting stories which has been awesome, so I hope it'll continue and flourish. Plus I'm the only one saying this, so maybe it's just me.

What stands out about the stories on this podcast is how poetic they are in their lack of the typical narrative hand-holding in so much narrative radio. Each story feels more like a collection of glimpses and the reader has to put together the picture in their mind. But it’s a joy to put together that picture, helped along by the beautiful sound design. And it just keeps getting better.

Hooked. I look forward to every episode. Expert storytelling, Brilliant production, important subjects. I can’t recommend it enough.

This is a gorgeous new podcast. Intelligent and contemplative, with a great “theme” with which to explore human experience. Great host voice too.

This is crazy awesome! People who want to connect to humanity need to check out what is going on here. I am totally impressed with the raw honesty. Keep it up guys!

Just listened to the first episode & am already hooked. This is a powerful, beautiful podcast unlike any other. I also love listening to the host’s voice, which is soothing and intriguing as well. So glad this podcast exists!

I was surprised by both the high production quality and the content. ARRVLS sounds like a segment from a polished, more mature podcast like This American Life or Radio Lab. The character in episode one was intriguing. I'm looking forward to more!

Great first episode, looking forward to the next! Inspiring storytelling with great sound, touching.

What an inspiring, touching story. True heroism and humanity. Great music and storytelling. I am looking forward to the next expisode!
