Quick Comment

I picked this episode as I know two people who said they were listening to it. This somewhat builds up expectations. After all, this is a WONDERY show, so I'm expecting this episode to knock me out of my chair (and that may not be fair).

What I Liked About This Episode

The production and soundscaping was off the charts.

What I Thought Could Use Some Polishing

The pace was a bit slow for me, and what are the stakes? So these two people hate each other, is there a cage match to the death? Why do I care about these people?
