Amazing
Very entertaining stories: relatable, exciting, dramatic, and even heartbreaking. It has a good amount of science nerdiness that I really enjoyed and could learn from. My favourite stories were the first, about a water slider, and the last, about a crow.

Very creative short stories.
This is the kind of creative project in which you most likely won't love every story but, it remains a wonderful listen.

Good thing it was free
The stories are not interesting or good in any way. The concept is interesting but the stories failed badly....all of them.

some better than others. worth a listen
of course short stories are tough to do as sometimes they could not hook me with so little time. good effort though.
