What listeners are saying

“You don’t really require any knowledge of Numenera, the universe is well set up and engrossing. Give it a listen.”
~ DeejSylvis

“It reminds me of the books I would read as a kid. Wonderful fantastical world that I feel welcomed into instantly. It does a wonderful job of setting everything up quickly so I’m not left confused by who is who and what location is what. Will eagerly be waiting for more!”
~ Directive Podcast

“The creator of this show has a voice and a knack for writing that takes me back to being young again and seeing the world with fresh eyes. The story is sweeping, the setting is wonderful…. This show has become a nightly thing for me, thanks to the length of the episodes and the wonderful voice of the creator, I am able to put this on and relax. Now about keeping that main character out of trouble…”
~ Rukland
