I love the acting, I love the music, I love the framing device, I love the characters. This is the audiodrama I come back to every few months for a relisten. This show is one of my all-time favorites

I really enjoyed this one! Funny, touching, heartbreaking.

I wanted to love this. The music all felt forced and silly. The plot was moderately interesting but pretty silly as well. The voice actors were talented though.

I laughed, I cried, I binge listened not once but twice, back to back, because the music and story and characters and acting are *that* good.

A haunting, beautiful podcast about grief and how it stays with you and how individuals and communities each react to tragedies. I’ve been thinking about the songs and storyline for days, and as soon as I finished the show, I turned around and listened to it again to get everything with the full context again.

Fantastic musical numbers and characters that feel like real people!

Stunning, would be cool to see on stage tho 👀

Stunning in every way, shape, and form.

A waste of good talent.

The main story of this musical gets me really emotional. I can’t imagine what I would do if this happened to my family or with my sister and it really hit home for some reason

Fun Listen. Enjoyable Musicals. Cute Story. Lightly Touched On Heavy Topics. Sentimental. Sweet.

I really loved this podcast. (I may or may not have listened to it in one day😅) Over all it was a great podcast and I yelled at my phone a few times because of something that happened in this podcast. I have recommended this podcast to a lot of friends and family and this is definitely a must listen. - Margaret O

I wasn’t sure what to expect when this podcast was recommended to me. I typically stick to true crime and sports podcasts but this was so good! The musical element was a beautiful layer to a well told story and it was easy to follow (which I don’t say very often about audio entertainment as I get distracted a lot). Highly recommend to anyone who likes musicals and detailed storylines.

The most unusual podcast I’ve ever listening to, because it’s partially musical, however, the story is really hocked me. Really cool😎

This is a beautifully produced, beautifully sung and acted story. It felt like a movie but through my ears only. The songs, instrumental music and dialogue were so engaging. I loved the format and style of this podcast and hope there are others like it to enjoy!

Heard Jeff’s interview on Patrick Oliver Jones’ podcast While I’ll Never Make It (WINMI). I had to check out this episodic musical podcast. Love the singing!! Listening carefully for those “Mic” differences.

I got into Atypical Artists, and podcasts, from the Bright Sessions and I am not disappointed with any of their shows so far. I’ve only listened to a few of their stuff, but this was one of my favorites from them. If they ever did another musical podcast I would be all over it and definitely give it a whirl.

Intriguing story idea and talented cast. The music had a bit of a sameness to it after a while.

I love this podcast. The story is captivating and the music is wonderful. I even have the album in my music library. Honestly, this is the only podcast that I have re-listened to over and over. I want more……….

Loved the first three episodes, particularly the second one, but the fourth episode lost me. Felt like the writers were trying too hard to make a character unlikable in order to make an ambivalent ending. Skip the fourth, and it’s a better podcast.

This is the most interesting and innovative cast I’ve heard! The story was interesting and the talent of the cast positively amazing! I was so sad when it ended! I hope to hear more from these folks and more like this! You gotta listen!!!

The story was well told and surprising, the music was beautiful, and if the Minnesota accents were a little overdone, the powerful performances compensated perfectly. A wonderful musical. I give it a standing ovation.

i was excited when i found this podcast to listen to, bc i didn’t know if it was gonna be as good as some of the podcast musicals i’ve listened to. but i was blown away! i loved the story, the acting was amazing, and overall it was very good quality.

Amazing talent! I loved the musical aspect of this show, especially as it allows a different part of the actors’ talents to be show cased. Great story telling and a big change from my usual true crime that I binge.

NPR mystery broadway survival thriller. The story is gripping, the format is refreshing, the themes are deep, and the characters feel real. Really enjoyed this

For me, it was in my top 2-3 podcasts ever. Music, writing, performance were all on point. Come and find me.

I was skeptical at first about a musical podcast, but it was SO GOOD! The story, the writing, the music, the singing, and the acting were all excellent.

I wasn’t sure I would after the first few minutes, but I kept going and fell in love with the story and characters. Atypical Artists is my new favorite podcast group. So far I’ve loved everything I’ve listened to. Thanks for making uniquely original shows♥️

I’m not a nut about musicals, but I really enjoyed how it brought these characters to life. And some of the songs are catchy!

This is a gift for musical lovers everywhere, especially during these tough times. I was not only impressed by its format (I’ve never heard of a musical podcast!) but thought it was also really well executed. Recording and putting everything together remotely during covid must not have been an easy task, but the end product is truly worthwhile. Thank you for giving us something new, innovative, and genuinely moving this year!

Love it! Great writing, fabulous voice actors and a great score - I want to get the album!

I thought this was so unique. I’m really enjoying it. I’m confused by the low ratings because it’s a musical and has singing. It clearly says this in the description. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

This is insanely good! Listened to it all within half a day because I couldn’t stop... give it a listen!

I was just trying to find something to listen to when I work. So I didn’t really care what I was listening to. At first when they sang I thought “what?” But the voice acting and story was really good. Most of the singing was not to my preference, but some songs were kinda catchy.

Loved the story. My son and I looked forward to car drives just to catch up on the story! Very unique play on story telling.

Seems like a good podcast but I can’t get over that fact that it’s a musical. I missed that part on the description.

I love this podcast it is one of my favorites I have ever listened to it is really good

It’s not what you think it is when you hear “podcast musical.” It’s vivid and moving and thought provoking and people sing. It’s different and worth a listen. I wish there were a soundtrack because I’d like to re-listen to some of the songs.

Great storytelling, wonderful to listen to. Binged in a day and wish there was more!

I binged this podcast - it was soooooo good! This songs were beautiful and the singing was amazing. The storyline was different and made me think. I cried and cried in the first and last episodes. I will recommend this podcast over and over! I eagerly await anything else from this team!!

I was skeptical after learning that this was a musical but I became really hooked and actually really liked it. Some of the characters are hilarious are hilarious and I really liked the songs. However, there were some holes in the storyline that partially ruined things for me: 1) you do not prepare for wilderness survival by simply doing calisthenics and shuttle runs...that part was real weird. 2) they’ve been training for wilderness survival for weeks and they don’t know what to do when someone breaks their wrist??!!!!!! Regardless, it’s definitely worth the listen!

I was truly blown away by the quality of this musical podcast. The songs were wonderful, the singing was top-notch, and the depth of the storyline was impressive.

I listened to the first episode not realizing that this presentation was both gripping story & musical. On a long car ride I started the series again and listened all the way through. Amazing. Please write another like this! Thanks

I was NOT expecting to cry this much! The clearing song really got to me. What a fun, exciting, touching story!!! If you’re not familiar with musicals the songs may feel strange to you, but I thought the format worked wonderfully for a podcast! And what great songs, too!! I had a few quibbles with the poor wilderness safety skills they learned (in particular not practicing using communication/planning with others), but it definitely makes sense in the overall story.

I loved this!! It’s different than anything I’ve listened to before. It captured my interest from the first episode and I finished it just 2 days later.

Give this podcast a chance. It starts off slow but after you get to the 2nd episode, you won’t want to stop listening. Great story with great songs mixed in.

I binged this over two evening and am recommending it to everyone I know. It’s just wonderful!!! I’d love to see the full live stage production of this. I think it could really translate to stage well. Don’t hesitate, just listen!

Captivating story, so cleverly intricate with twists and turns… Throw in some catchy musical numbers and good character development and you have an addictive series! Can’t wait to see the spin off on Broadway!

This was unlike any podcast I’ve listened to before! I really liked it, and I’d be perfectly ok with more musical podcasts being developed! Great production.

The story captured my attention but the singing was not a good addition to the story.
