Loved some of the sound design and the realistic story. It felt like an Audio memoir.
There were some meta points about podcasting that took me out of it, but otherwise I liked it.
@jhawthorne Yea, I agree about the meta podcasting portion. I’m waiting for an audio drama that has not reference to podcasting or recording anything, but just uses sound to let you imagine.

It is a very personal story of a second-generation Korean-American struggling to come out to her mother that doesn’t speak English very well. The complete six episode story was...Show More

@mm I think that will be a sign of the genre maturing. Carrier and Passenger List come closer, but I'd like to see a HISTORY audio drama
