Homecoming

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพย Amazing listening! This was great for a group listen because it was really fun to speculate what was going to happen next. This fiction podcast sets the bar for what is possible in audio storytelling in the way of production quality, transition creativeness, acting, direction, and story. We also later watched the Netflix show, which was equally unique and fun to discuss.ย  We suggest listening to all the fun behind the scenes. #podcast @gimletmediaย #homecomingpodcast

About:ย Homecoming centers on a caseworker at an experimental facility, her ambitious supervisor, and a soldier eager to rejoin civilian life โ€” presented in an enigmatic collage of telephone calls, therapy sessions, and overheard conversations. The result is an innovative, immersive audio experience โ€” a mystery unfolding across the twelve episodes of Seasons One and Two.

This Sounds Serious

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿพ This one really divided the group. Half of us really liked the quirky silliness of the whole thing. The other half half just didn’t like it all all. Take it or leave it. It was fun to guess “who done it” in this one. #thissoundsserious #podcast #comedy #truecrime #fictionaltruecrime

About: A fictional story so believable it canโ€™t be true. Florida, 2007: A famous local weather man is found dead in his water bed. His brother calls 9-1-1 to report the murder. This sets off a shocking series of events involving cults, boy bands, horses, and mistaken identity.

Heaven’s Gate

Heavenโ€™s Gate | ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ This was more of a “where were you when…” than our typical “who done it”. It was interesting to hear everyone’s recollections of ’97 and what we believed to be true at the time and what we know now. An interesting dive back into history.ย #podcast#heavensgatepodcast@heavensgateshow
