Listener Reviews

Since I find your podcast in defence of Canada witty, warm, and wise, I had high expectations of Mirror Falls. I was not disappointed. I am going to have to pace myself, Your stories are just exactly what I need to fill my head with before I lay head to pillow. The people are so human, not perfect, but certainly not Earth devouring monsters bent on world domination, which used to be the stuff of Marvel and Anime, but is now our daily reality. Mirror Falls is such a pleasant change.

I love love love these characters and this little town. Please bring us more!!!!!

I love the way you tell these stories - with earnest sweetness and humour.

a true gem of a podcast -love it!!!

Loving it 😊

The characters, the intrigue, the simple humanity of people just trying to live a good life, the voice, the inflection, the anticipation, the characters - well they are all nothing short of magical.

It is so nice to have a podcast that is witty in such an understated, Canadian way. Looking forward to hearing more!

Absolutely love this story! Can’t wait for season 2! Thank you, Tod!

Hi Todd, & to anyone reading this review - it is simply restorative. The imagery, the weave of the story. Follow this podcast for immersion in times/place that exist throughout our country-all too forgotten, possibly overlooked, and makes us - well us! I believe it is reasonable to nominate Todd as a continuation of the legacy left us by Stewart McLean, Peter Gzowski, & just possibly Pierre Berton. Thank you for this & the your FB page as well Todd!

What a treasure ‘Mirror Falls’ is! Thanks Todd

What a refreshing change to boring mainstream podcasts! Thanks Tod! Keep it going!

Love it! Tod Maffin’s Canadiana fiction is heartwarming, funny, entertaining and clever. Believable characters I am loving getting to know, and quickly became invested in what they’re up to and what they’ll do next. I was unfamiliar with ‘Vinyl Café’ before, but if it’s like this podcast, I’ll be looking up those stories too. Mirror Falls is one to savour (yet I’ll probably binge-listen) 🥰

Just came across this podcast and am addicted! Such great stories and storyteller. Hope there are many more episodes to come!

Season 1, Ep 2. Dear Tod, thank you so much for the quiet nod to Stuart… it brightened my tears to my eyes.

Tod has done it again! This is yet another place he has created that I can go to for serenity, hope, some chuckles, and an insider’s view of small town Canadiana. IYKYK.

A delightful listen. Cheerful, calming, and so Canadian. I could listen to Tod’s voice for hours. I grew up listening to Stuart McLean over breakfast with my Dad every weekend; the nod to the Vinyl Cafe made me tear up. Will keep coming back for more.

Your Canadian content, pace and humour put me in mind of Stuart Maclean and Peter Gzowski. Love this! Keep going. Thank you for your work.

Loved the subtle homage to Stuart McLean.

My husband and I are often looking for something to listen to on car trips and this is a perfect fit. Quirky, funny and best of all, Canadian. I was lol listening to it. For real!

Thanks Tod. I needed this. Comparison to other shows are unnecessary. This one holds its own. The same way other great series on CBC have done. Quiet, thoughtful, funny and unabashedly Canadian. I will be waiting impatiently for season two. Best of luck with your Nanaimo Infusion and continued success in drawing into Canada the many talented and kind healthcare workers we so desperately need. This is a great additional chapter in our shared heritage. Menno

♥️♥️♥️ Love it but have one request. Please tune down the music that is background to your talking. It’s difficult for hearing impaired people - I really have to stretch to focus and separate your words from the music. It is too loud and distracting. I breathe a sigh of relief when the music stops.

Loving this small town story, having grown up in small town Canada, it’s so relatable!

Tod has a gift for storytelling. My only complaint is that the episodes are not longer.

Thoroughly enjoying 👏
