Historia
Over the next five years, millions of more Americans are expected to take Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, which are rapidly being recognized as the miracle drugs of this century. If you’re not on them, you’ll probably know someone who is. What are the implications of the widespread use of these drugs, both on our bodies and our society? In this show, you’ll meet people across America who are either taking the jab or thinking about it, and the shocking intentional and unintentional results they are seeing.

Engaging, thoughtful, educational
Revisado: 02-20-25
Saachi does a fantastic job presenting multiple angles of the weight loss industry, featuring glp1s extensively. I learned quite a bit, and appreciated all of the different perspectives. I wish there had been more discussion about the industry of dieting, bmi, and fatphobia, but I also like the way they were incorporated. I’ll be exploring some of the books mentioned throughout. Thanks for the insight!

Historia
I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen.

Maybe not for me

I struggled with the uneven narration - male narrator was so much stronger, and more natural. I had a hard time suspending disbelief for certain things. BB is super talented, this just didn’t do it for me.

Historia
Judith knows her sister, Alice, is the pretty one—but that doesn’t stop her from wishing for love. When a handsome and gentlemanly hunter appears in their village, seeking lodging from the cold, she believes her lover has finally arrived. He does, indeed, choose to stay—but as Alice’s husband, not her own. When another stranger comes out of the woods, looking every bit a vagrant, he offers Judith something mysterious and enticingly strange. Against reason and decency, she welcomes both men into her life, in different ways.

Release the extended cut (pretty please)
Revisado: 11-15-24
The narration was fascinating. The narrator herself clearly has talent and depth, and is great with accents. I did find the jumps between accents somewhat distracting, but I also thoroughly enjoyed both her natural and character voices. I love the story, and would be interested in an extended version.

Historia
Something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from.Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remain, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, Malorie has long dreamed of fleeing to a place where her family might be safe. But the journey ahead will be terrifying: 20 miles downriver in a rowboat blindfolded with nothing to rely on but Malorie's wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. And something is following them....

Great expectations
Revisado: 05-03-17
Perhaps my expectations were too great for this story, I honestly don't know. The concept was compelling, and the narrator did a fine enough job, but it just felt like there was something missing from the story. I will agree with other reviewers who said that the present tense was a bit much, but I did appreciate the non-linear story-telling - even if it didn't amount to as much as I'd hoped by the end. The reveal towards the end was... interesting... though it did feel somehow forced, and the plot hole(s) it created really left me wanting more in terms of resolution.
My only complaints for the narrator surround how she treated masculine voices. She lends a sort of creeper-vibe to every man she voices, but her feminine voices and the voices she used for the children were near perfect, particularly when conveying the desperation of said characters. Every time she said, "mommy?" or any of the children's lines, it was thoroughly believable. I suppose I wish the author had explored more with the children (this may have satisfied my "more" desire, in general), and with the novel's overall resolution, though I suppose it could have been purposefully left out for a sequel, or something.
Finally, I wouldn't classify this as horror, which is how I've seen the book categorized on various sites. Stressful in parts, yes, and it's undeniable that there are horrific scenes, but horror still feels like a stretch.

Historia
When a nameless, struggling actor in 1970s New York gets the call that an enigmatic director wants him for an art film set in the Amazon, he doesn't hesitate: He flies to South America, no questions asked. He quickly realizes he's made a mistake. He's replacing another actor who quit after seeing the script - a script the director now claims doesn't exist. The movie is over budget. The production team seems headed for a breakdown. The air is so wet that the celluloid film disintegrates.

I am Richard Trent.
Revisado: 04-12-17
The premise of this story had promise, and the narrator was awesome - his voice and accents gave such color to the story. The narrative, itself, however... Meh. The entire "I am Richard Trent/you are Richard Trent" sequence was so off-putting that I almost gave up. I powered through to the end, which was somehow rushed in relation to the rest of the story.
The first half of the book, with its just-non-linear-enough-to-confuse style, was boring, and unimpressive. There wasn't enough action, suspense or real sense of fear for this to qualify as horror, which was the ultimate letdown about this book. I do wonder if a physical copy of the book could have swayed me, as the writing style used has been deemed rather polarizing. It was a nice change of perspective since second person isn't used as often as first or third, but that's probably the best selling point the writing offers.
Is it worth a listen? Eh. The narrator is totally worth a listen, but the book isn't offering anything to fans of the genre, fans of the source material, or those that enjoy something even slightly darker in tone. Perhaps Kea's next effort will bring something more original to the table.
