Listener's Feedback:

"This is 1 of the most creative audio shows I 've ever heard in nearly 20 years of studying audio drama & the best entry I’ve heard at Atlanta Fringe Audio in the 3 years I’ve been judging." (Critic Panel)



“In a word, WOW! Obviously it’s a very delicate & sensitive topic. I love the raw humanity that you showed & were courageous to not only go there but also made jokes about it. To be able to sum it up & be honest is one thing, but to add funny is where the true artistic brilliance comes in.” (D. Maxwell, Wisconsin)



“It takes a brave woman to stand on stage & turn being a victim of SA into a comedy. @SilviSantoso, has done just that & has created a space to bring people together, take you through the gamut of emotions & leave you feeling more connected and more understanding.” ★★★★ (West TV, Perth)



"Hilarious, super honest, & somehow makes you laugh while also getting deep in a really real way. She talks about everything from diaspora guilt to childhood cringe moments to random pop culture stuff, and it was very interesting. I’d recommend this." (Mishika K., Toronto)
