Overproduced

First, I need to say that I only listened to season 1, so this review might not pertain to subsequent seasons.

It's clear that a lot of creativity and effort have gone into making this podcast. I really like how the ads are done in character--the scripting and style made me think they were part of the story until I realized there were for real sponsors--very clever!

However, I was not impressed by much else. The premise and characters have potential, but there just isn't enough development to satisfy me. The episodes are very short. In the first season, at least, each episode is only about 15 minutes and the situation is resolved, then the characters are doing something completely different in the next. There are a few "background" plot lines that keep going, but such short chapters/acts left me wanting a more fully developed story. I would love to listen to a fully formed novel featuring the crew of the Yellow Submarine, though.

And last, the thin writing is somewhat camouflaged by the production. Way. Too. Much. Production. Sound effects and quirkiness are like salt: Just enough makes the steak sizzle. Too much makes you gag.
