Amazing!
I have this saved and I’ve listened more than once. Great for long plane rides to relax and escape. The sounds, info and acting is wonderful. Highly recommended!

I. Love. This.
I’m on my third listen. I love all three parts—fiction, sounds, and science/philosophy. Thank you, BBC.

Unique
Incredibly cutting edge, even the format of having the fictional podcast coupled with a conversation with an expert in a specific field they correlates with the story.

Warning for people with sound sensitivities!!
I really wanted to listen to this, but it revolves around a recording of someone whistling the same 10 second melody over and over again off key. It was deeply irritating because of sound sensitivity issues, and even thought the story seemed really engaging I couldn’t make it past the first 15 seconds of the second episode. Not only does it play when they’re talking about it, but it underlies huge sections of the dialogue. Major bummer. Can’t imagine even people without sound sensitivities would find that pleasant? Anyway, heads up.

Very enjoyable!
I really enjoyed this series. I listen to tons of audio drama podcast. This one was really well acted. The sound quality was excellent. The story line was so interesting and different, I can see this story becoming an excellent movie series or tv series.

Great acting and sound design. Also love that it is tied to a study about how nature affects our mood. Thank you!

Use headphones
To make this clever story shine, listen with headphones. The triple episode style is brilliant. There’s a lot packed into this little space.

Expands the Medium
This show is so good it’s hard to believe it’s real. Futuristic Dystopian Scifi Eco Survivalism with Intrigue. Plus essays about sound. Plus soundscapes. Every second is an adventure in sound, taking the listener to new people and places. I hope this podcast informs other creators to take risks and reach for new ways to work in the medium.

Innovative
As far as the storyline goes, it’s fairly simple, but what’s cool are the extra episodes that more fully flesh out the themes. Really enjoyed this, & tree-huggers will love it :)

A New Favorite
One of the coolest podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I love the sci-fi story, sound design, and companion episodes that talk about nature and provide soundscapes.
Et c'est parti.

Fun and educational storytelling
This is a podcast for so many. If you are thinking about listening-just do it, you won’t regret. The story is captivating and based in fact along with the additional talks and soundscapes; this podcast quickly moved to the top of my highly recommended podcasts. Hoping for more content like this!

Nothing new.
Old science; nothing revolutionary here despite its put-upon pride. The soundtracks are the primary thing worth listening to, but they’re nothing more special than can be found on any nature or sleep app.
