"...this audio drama is funny, endearing, sharp-witted, and an acerbic commenter on the human condition. The music acts as its own character in this audio drama, with an original score steeped in folk/Americana music made by Maesa Pullman. Hobo Code is an audio drama that breaks all the rules, mixes and matches genres and generations, and transforms familiar themes into proto-magical mythologies that define us. Since when is a coffee can an imaginary friend?"

""Hobo Code" feels the culmination of every story read for English class. It borrows from "The Grapes of Wrath," has the dramatic weight of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and complexity rivaling "As I Lie Dying" by William Faulkner."
