Great backstory to work through (also listed in the bad)

Cecil's incredibly soothing voice

The Weather (are we still waiting for the bus in the rain?)

Long, LONG backstory to slog through (also listed in the good) (1 more)

A bit of a format change, part way through (I preferred the original flavor)

Oh, where to begin? I loved this podcast from the first episode, it's weird in the best ways. Think of an banana split sundae; one scoop of Lovecraft, one scoop of Stephen King, on scoop of various mythologies, a banana of Dadaism, some sprinkles of your local independent music scene, generous dollops of LGBTQ+ acceptance and support, and a single, solitary maraschino cherry of optimism in the face of overwhelming anxiety and depression.

All of this, of course, coming together as the public local news station for a small town, somewhere int he desert.

It's fun. I recommend it. Just make sure the locals don't notice that you're an interloper.

Kudos

In a well ordered universe I wouldn't be left with so many questions! I loved this book,it's a story about friendship and finding out who you really are when your not in someone elses shadow. No matter how much you love and admire that person. As someone with social anxiety, I found Emily to be very relatable, and much braver than I if I had been handed this list.This book took me back to being a teenager and some of the summers I had, (none as eventful as this story!) A story of friendship and romance! My only little niggle is I want to know if she mends things with Dawn and Collins and if Gideon finds his perfect girl ( I have a rather large soft spot for him) In truth I wanted Emily to fall in love with him instead because he seemed so sweet, but I can't have everything!
