[This is] An audio drama from Wondery and At Will Media that’s quite good on the surface, but things about it sit uncomfortably as I listen. I don’t really think it’s wholly the fault of the podcast, but it’s a consideration I’m making as I write this review.
The incredible effect of this podcast’s writing allows you to hold it at arm’s length and get through it, while also feeling both sides. The absolute horror of a cancer diagnosis, as well as the underlying suspicion dance back and forth.
This podcast gives you that peace, and the chance to make listening to it an experience - just like with the food it’s talking about. Figure out how you want to listen to this podcast and make it intentional for a full experience.
My favorite part of this podcast design-wise is the theme song, which finds its way under dialogue across seasons. When it appears it almost is dropping us into the mood of a cozy video game, passing through Prosperpina Park with perhaps too much comfort.
