**REVIEWS**

“I enjoyed reading [Xen: The Zen of the Other](https://josephmatheny.com/xen-the-zen-of-the-other/), but [the audio radio play](https://josephmatheny.com/xen-the-zen-of-the-other-the-audio-drama/) is even better. Its gusto voice acting, hypnotic musicscapes, and mystical plot all add up to a transporting experience that’s beyond what we normally expect from a book recording.” – Joe Nolan, [The Contributor](https://issuu.com/the-contributor-live/docs/11.10.2021-digital/s/13904675)
