Customer Reviews
Giraffe House
Nice to know what's going on in Saint Paul. I love the way Q has touched the hearts of his neighbors. I appreciate the way the podcast brought out the potential for isolation which Q has overcome with his landscaping to make other people happy. Beautiful!
Stories from the north!
Great concept with well researched, interesting stories set in Minnesota, but about so much more. I can't wait for the next episode!
Open-minded, fun pace, very zen
I just binge-listened to the first three episodes of Radio North and am *really excited* it exists. The lively pace of the stories is enhanced by some excellent music choices. And while the stories on the surface seem like light human-interest pieces, the way the narrators examine their conditions and those of their subjects is incredibly deep. I also love the regional focus. That kind of limitation can produce a lot of creativity.
