For this podcast blog, I listened to the “Homecoming – Seasons One: Episode One”. I chose this podcast because I expected the story to be something similar to the high-school “homecoming” dance, but I was wrong. Nevertheless, I still listened to it, and it was very enjoyable.
The story’s main character is Heidi, and takes place in two timelines, the past when Heidi worked the “Homecoming” program, and the present where she is working at a restaurant as a server.
What made the podcast enjoyable?
The podcast was enjoyable because of how the characters’ voices work with the background noises, giving you a feel of being in the story as well. The mumbled chatting in the background, clattering of cutlery, it all fits in well with entering the listener into the story’s rhythm.
Another aspect was the way the characters spoke about the events happening, one instance being the animal in the background shrieking, and the way the characters spoke about it made it seem even more real.
The story itself was also very good, and the transitions between past and present are done wonderfully. There are a lot of questions that I have, and I will actually listen to the podcast more if possible.
