The concept of the See Through News podcast is a bedtime story, that's true but fictionalised, and challenges you to tell the truth from the lies. How does this concept make you feel?
Not interested.
There are plenty of similar podcasts out there, and this is nothing unique, special or original.
Mildly curious.
Very intrigued.
Excited - can't wait to hear the next one, and many more.

As many episodes as I could stay awake for, in bed last thing before sleeping.

How would you like to listen to a story like this, if it were around an hour long, divided into around 10 parts?
One episode at a time, with a new episode every week.
One episode at a time, with a new episode every day
Several episodes at a time.
All in one go, an hour-long story without any separation into episodes.
I'd like the option of choosing all of the above.
Any other comments?

This pilot version featured a theme music, incidental music and sound effects.
I didn't really notice any of this.
I found the sound design intrusive, and would have preferred the narrator's voice only.
I liked the music and sound.
It could benefit from a bit more sound design and music.
Was great as it was, doesn't need to be mucked about with
Any other suggestions of how to augment it with other sound or even images?
