This powerful piece delves into the mind of someone struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder and provides incredible insight through its intriguing simplicity. At first, I didn't quite realize what was going on, but then I figured it out and it clicked for me, making this piece a unique one. The cacophony of the sounds from the routine creates a chaotic yet oddly systematic background and sets the tone for this piece well. This is one of the more artistic podcasts I have heard and is a great example of how something with minimal dialogue can have such an impact on listeners. This piece would fit brilliantly in a series of other podcasts that address other mental illnesses or struggles in this intriguing portrayal of the person's mind.
