I love this series! Noni is my new fave!!

Well done sir. Well done. When I convince my wife that the money she saved on buying those dresses on sale could have a much greater impact and purpose I shall become a member. Just hope it’s before I meet Mac and Tendee. My burrito is likely a spicy juevos rancheros - I am not ready to leave, plus she said if I did she was coming with me.

A little slow. But fun overall. As someone who has traveled the astral plane though—it’s nothing like this!!

Really enjoying this audio drama. Moving on to season two now.

When’s the next one dropping?

Honestly I wasn’t sure I would like it as much as I do. This show pulls at your heartstrings and makes you laugh. The characters are amazing and I’m so surprised that Jared voiced everyone. I have fallen in love with them all. This is such a heartwarming and beautiful story and i can’t wait to hear more. Definitely give this a listen!

I love this new podcast. The characters are quirkey and relatable. What a cool show!! Great job Jared.

It’s easy listening and has some very heartwarming moments. But overall I just found it to be… alright. I made it a few episodes into season 2 before giving up. Just don’t see the appeal

This show is quirky, hilariously, intriguing, and unapologetically heart warming. I came because of a promo from the Parkdale Haunt podcast, and I have found a new favorite.

This was such a fun show! I thought it was kind of hokey at first, but it really grew on me pretty quick. Just a fun show, kind of positive and nice. 10/10

I heard the first episode on the Woodbine feed and ended up following the show and binge listening in a few days. There is something so heartwarming about this podcast but also go through the range of emotions. I’ve laughed, cried, worried, been angry, confused and annoyed. I’m looking forward to Season 3.

Great listen

Great story to listen to while you’re out on a walk or taking a cross country drive.

this show is funny, sad and just overall amazing. The ending made me genuinely cry.

How dearly I wish my essence could be converted into a burrito 🌯 i wanna to eat myself. Also would love to go the shopping mall sphere and hangout at Desert Sky.🌌

This has everything. From the very first episode I’ve been all over and have grown to really care about these characters. Episodes are really deep and thought-provoking, and one so far has even brought me to tears with its catharsis. Cannot recommend this story enough!

I love this podcast and the ride of emotions it’s taken me on. Laughter is the best medicine and this is therapy at its finest. Finding the rough spots inside of our hearts and working to smooth them out with each episode.

When Midnight Burger refers a podcast, I’m going to listen. I wish there was a warning that the content was a fatal blow to the feels in the most beautiful way. I feel like I relate to every character in the show with some facet of my personality and listening to the struggles and successes of the crew has made me laugh, made me cry, and made me look inward to some of my own strengths and flaws. This podcast is an absolute masterpiece and I hope to still be listening to new episodes in a decade. Jared, from the bottom of my heart, thank you

Intelligent, witty, and even provocative at times. “Desert Skies” is theatre of the mind at its finest. A special thank you for introducing me to The Liminal Lands, Desert Skies is kinda like your rother from another mother.

The characters are very endearing and some of the episodes are very touching and heartfelt. But more than that, it’s funny and genuinely makes me grin and chuckle from time to time. It’s the perfect balance between heavy and light. Give it a shot! I was really into it by episode 3.

I’m a new listener here but this is so cool! I’m really enjoying listening to this at night and on the bus! I love the way this was written and voiced!

HOPING FOR NEW EPISODES SOON !! Miss you Updated review ‼️ No longer a new listener as I have binged all episodes in finishing up episode 18 of season 2 and this one really hit me hard because Tendy and I are so much alike. You have a talent unlike many others keep up the hard work and dedication you are going places with this New listener here. Currently binge listening, I have listened non stop from 1-5 so far and I am such a fan already . Makes me wonder if my dad stopped by on his way . Thank you I’ve been looking for a podcast like this an didn’t even know it. ❤️‍🩹🔮

This show embraces being strange, but is sweetly told and artfully written. A wonderful balm for the soul in a podcast.

What a wonderful little corner of the universe this is! Written with a deft touch, well acted, and with endearing characters and interesting plot lines.. A nice change from what I normally seek out in a podcast.. I’m a fan! Can’t wait to binge it all 😊

I’m so enamored by this podcast. It’s got so much heart and whimsy and it just gets better and better. Just eating it up. I don’t know how to explain it but I think it makes me a better person. And the fact that he does all the voices blows my mind. Really special, a gem. I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Got into this about a week ago and I really had such a fun time. What I love most about any story is the characters, and this podcast has some really good ones. The setting is unique, but the characters are so good that you get sucked into this insane setting with them. There is also good comedy and light hearted moments, which personally made it a very happy experience to listen to, but like any good story it has its tough parts too. I fell in love with this podcast after the second episode and I know you will love it too

I listen to A LOT of fiction/audio dramas and many I do not finish. This one grabbed me right away. The writing and dialogue is earnest and the voice acting and sound design are excellent. I’m hooked and this has moved into my top 5 fiction podcasts of all time. I NEED Tendy and Nonny to be IRL humans. Corson is my absolute favorite. This handles challenging topics with such depth and sensitivity that brings me to tears, but in all the good cry ways. Kudos to Jared for his creation. LOVE LOVE LOVE DESERT SKIES!

My partner showed me this podcast and it really struck me from the beginning. Grief is such a strange thing and so is memory and this podcast does such a masterful job of telling a story about both and so much more. In some ways it's helped me grieve my own losses and made me feel like things aren't completely over. The fact that it's all made by one person just adds to the charm. You can feel the love that runs deep in this podcast and it will have you laughing and crying and feeling all the feelings. I can't wait to hear more.

This show is so wholesome and moving and beautiful. Real life can feel so heavy, and the crew at Dessert Skies Fuel and Service Station help me feel more hopeful that there’s more good people in the world than bad. Season 2 has introduced the anonymous traveler, Nonny, and they are the best friend anyone could ever have. I wish they were my friend, we all need a friend like Nonny. What’s especially incredible is how Jared Carter writes and voices every character, and they are all unique and real people. It truly feels like a real place, full of (after)life. If you enjoy supernatural dramedy and people who take care of each other, this show is really great.

First of all, it’s well produced. Too few of these storytelling-audio-fiction-episodic podcasts actually get this right. This is one that has figured this out! They don’t explain everything, not annoying narration with overt descriptions. Your imagination is engaged to fill in the scenes which is how all of the greatest stories are told. Sound effects are on point. No jarring interruptive sounds. Not too many commercials, thank you! The writer is an incredible voice talent in addition to storyteller and somehow says the most poignant things at just the right time. It is uncanny, really. It has kind of been like I came across this story when I needed it most in lots of ways. I love it. Creative, engaging, well-produced and heartfelt but still totally entertaining and fun. Well done and thank you for your sharing your gifts with the world (cheesy I but sincere:))!

And this SciFi Drama helps fill it. I’m really digging this and hope more episodes will be made. Only on episode 6 from season 1 but do hope a season 3 will be made.

An unbelievably great show! The vibe is so good, fantastic cast and beautifully written story lines!! So uplifting, enjoyed every single episode!

A friend recommended this show to me 10 days ago, and I have already listened to all of the available episodes. Incredibly engaging story, great voice acting, touches on some deep topics, and introduces some great music. I cannot believe how good this is on every level. Looking forward to more episodes soon!

VERY WELL DONE! Been a podcast aficionado for 10+ years and this will remain on my rotation!

A great cast of characters and I love the story line! Can't wait for more 😍

This show is amazing on all fronts. I’ve listened to an unhealthy amount of podcasts and this one stands out in so many ways. Desert skies is impressively entertaining and also surprised me after getting into it- the story beautifully handles heavier topics and it really touched me in moments. Highly recommend to any listener.

I love this show. Thank you for making this.

At first I was not sure what to think when I first listened to the first episode, but as I kept going this was a beautiful reflection of the human condition and the life we leave behind and all of its upd and downs, but along the line we find the beauty of embracing the unknown before us while at the same time doing a deep dive into our own psyche and triggers. Such a beautiful show. I’m going to listen to it again.

Absolutely fall in love and go through all the emotions on this journey through a universe of spheres. A must listen.

I am just so grateful to have found this one. It’s more than a keeper, it’s my absolute favorite! What a fun, witty, and most creative storytelling. Hard to believe how many great characters Jared can voice. Instantly hooked and highly recommend. Each episode is easy to relate to and understand!!! Forever Fan! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I discovered this podcast by chance a couple weeks ago. It has everything I want in a podcast. It’s weird, it’s sweet, it’s funny and heartfelt. Kudos to Jared Carter for creating an all inclusive and touching show. Thank you!

Best show ever. . . BiiittCCHHHH!!!!

I love the Fable and Folly series. It's well done, witty, entertainIng, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Desert Skies is all that and more. I have found myself literally laughing out loud while listening on headphones. It is a balancing counterweight to the vitriol that seems to hang over the world today. I am about halfway through and so far it has not disappointed.

I’ve listened to eight episodes so far, and I love it! After seven episodes,I found out Jared voiced ALL the characters! I love audio fiction and am so glad to have come across this podcast.

I’ve finally consumed all the true crime I think I can handle for one lifetime so I started listening to fiction shows. I’ve enjoyed all of them but they’re all still dealing with heavier topics, or like relationship stuff that just makes me want to roll my eyes out of my head. Not only is the lightness of this podcast so appreciated, it’s just done so well. And it’s wild that the creator is the voice of every character!! That’s talent. Thank you for this show!

The premise of this show drew me in, dissecting the idea of coming to terms with death, but as we continue to get to know the eclectic array of main and recurring characters you find a compelling and emotionally story that is equal parts stupid, funny, and tearjerking! I came in with little expectations and have found myself fallen in love with this show! Thank you to the team at Desert Skies!!

I don’t think I’ve listened to anything quite like it! It’s original, funny, well produced and just a feel good listen. It’s like The Good Place meets … Midnight Burger - with an 80’s vibe?? Jared Carter is a great writer and it’s hard to believe he voices all the characters. Can’t wait to hear more!!

so cute and emotional and well done i am in love w this show

The sweetest, gentlest most endearing characters. Every episode is like a little mini therapy session.

I just so happened to suddenly lose a friend shortly after starting to listen to this podcast, and I lost a parent when I was in school. This podcast happened into my life at the right time. It brought smiles, humor, comfort, insight, hope, and even a bit of peace. Thanks, Jared, for what you created here. It’s beautiful. And I can’t wrap my head around you being the voice of Mac. The others I can see, but I still can’t figure that one out!
