Permanent Record

Nick Podehl’s performance is nothing short of remarkable. His portrayal of Badi is nuanced and layered, capturing the character’s growth through subtle changes in tone and pacing. The story itself is a rollercoaster—laugh-out-loud moments juxtaposed with deeply moving scenes that hit hard. Stella handles difficult topics with grace, ensuring each episode feels both raw and relatable. However, some might find certain sections overly long; the pacing could use a bit more of a brisk pace to maintain consistent listener engagement throughout. Nonetheless, Permanent Record is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt like their own worst critic.
