For the record this is case 63 an audio drama that is equal parts story and advertisements.
Spotify have taken a great premise involving real life elements such as COVID 19, Social Media and chance encounters then combined it with mystery, an outstanding cast and wrapped it all up in a great big package of adverts.
After recent events such as the pandemic the future described in case 63 is all to real and adds a real sense of peril and urgency to the mission of the protagonist. The story it's self is engaging and presented in small bite size chunks that encourage you to binge through the series in an entire sitting. It's easy to imagine the events portrayed in this audio drama are our future which brings a lot to an already exciting story!
The cast do a fantastic job making you believe their characters are real and you can't help but become entangled with them and the dilemmas they face.
While listening it's very easy to visualise what is happening and it's very easy to imagine this making a great film or limited TV series.
There is however one major let down! The hard work by the cast, writer and production team is severely let down by the studio and the platform.
As the episodes are short Spotify have used this as an opportunity to flood the listener with as many adverts as possible! The length of the advertisements at the beginning and end of each episode become intrusive after the second episode and interfere with the flow of the series when listening through.
I can't help but think that what is otherwise a great piece of audio drama has been spoiled by Spotifys corporate greed.
