Customer Reviews
Impeccable
I felt uplifted and invigorated by this tale of the strange and macabre.
If you yourself have ever contemplated painting a bird with household paint in order to pass it off as another kind of bird, then this really is the podcast for you.
#nevermore
If We Are Moses makes me want to save the world!
Just listened with a cuppa...wow! Loved the voice acting, the 3 stories skilfully interwoven and Mother Nature having a breakdown, so good! Tricky subject matter, handled very well. Powerful not preachy. It makes me want to do more to save the world. We can do better, we will be better.
If we are Moses
Moses - a masterclass on how to produce a powerful political podcast. This incredible piece had me hooked from the start - With its striking soundscape to the fantastic performances from the actors, this Podcast finds a way of delivering a crucial message in a thrilling audio experience. A treat to the ears! I hope this is only the beginning for the inspiring writer, Nia Powell. I can’t wait to see what she produces next.
