Mirror Falls
Just what we needed in these times - thank you. I smiled and occasionally laughed. These stories are a harbour of peace and decency in our world. Love the stories and the delivery on the two episodes. Patiently waiting for more. I can only hope that Mirror Falls has a run that helps keep us together. I already said Thank you but I’m Canadian so I’m saying it again - thank you!!!

Can’t wait for more!
Interested to see where the show goes next. Was happily surprised to hear the show was set locally, and I must say your description of the museum was spot on compared to many other museums on the island.

Mirror Falls (with Tod Maffin)
A fun visit to a fictional town filled with the best kind of Canadian personalities. Nods to Canadian history that pique your curiosity to look stuff up and some familiar connections to a little record store in Toronto. ☺️Give this a listen, I’m sure you’ll love it❣️

Episode 2. So funny!
As a public administrator and grant writer in a small Municipality, I appreciated the main character and the situation poised in the second episode. Yes grant writing is like that. So funny I shared with family while commuting.

A new Canadian podcast!
OK, I’m intrigued. 😊 I love stories that build slowly and provide delectable little tidbits giving insight into the characters and how they tick. Mr. Maffin is an excellent narrator. I believe that this, people, is going to be a fun ride. Bring on Ep.3 👍
P.s. loved that little shout out in Ep. 2 to you-know-who (no spoilers) 🤗.

Like coming home
Gotta love gentle Canadian humour. Thanks Tod. Looking forward to many years, and be sure I will be spreading the word.

🎙️Sibilance
As usual, I put on my CPAP, queued up a podcast, and closed my eyes for a good night's rest.
Everything was going perfectly... right up until the "microphone check" story. I laughed so hard I blew the CPAP mask clean off my face. So now I'm wide awake, writing this review instead of sleeping, but honestly, the belly laugh was worth it. Thanks, Tod.

Exactly what’s needed
Like a warm cup of tea by the fire during an icy blizzard, Mirror Falls is exactly what’s needed right now. A chuckle, some small town quirkiness, and a little kindness. Thank you Tod!

The Best Kind of Storytelling
There was no time of the week more sacrosanct in my life than the hour of The Vinyl Cafe. I have now heard something that tugs at my heart and my funny bone in the same way. When I am asked, as I am more and more these days living in the U.S., what makes Canadians so different from Americans, I have Tad Maffin and Mirror Falls to point to. Not exclusively! but definitely. The very best with this new adventure Mr Maffin.
PS Thanks for the shout out to Dave & Morley and Sam and Stephanie😉

Makes my heart smile
Todd and Mirror Falls fills the void left by Stewart and vinyl café. Appreciated the nod to Stewart and his stories. Looking forward to getting to know the people of Mirror Falls

The Legion
This reminds me of listening to my dad and a couple of his buddies telling tall tales when they’re sitting at the Legion, This such a blend of Canadian and quirkiness. I’m looking forward to the next episodes.

Beautiful falls. Don’t miss.
Well told, lovely little stories about Vancouver Island’s rustic charm. These are exactly what we need right now. Spread the word.

Wonderfully Spicy Nostalgia
Just enough colourful language reminding us in our late 50s that our country, from villages to cities, is Sofa King much better than the meth apparent downstairs

Mirror Falls review
I have enjoyed Todd's Magfins "far and wide "
newsletter, but how luxurious and entertaining to listen to this non-political podcast that is reminiscent of vinyl cafe. Looking forward to the next episode and while I wait, I'm going to share. Thanks Todd

I’m hooked!
Such an intriguing podcast! It’s beautifully written and the audio design is perfect - adds to the experience without being overwhelming. I love that the episodes are short enough to listen to without too much time commitment, but also kind of wish they were longer because I want more! I can’t wait to listen to the whole season.

OTR Lives!!
As a lover of old time radio programs, this fits the bill. Is well done, and well told. After all, who doesn’t like being told a story and this is right in our own backyard … even though I’m a mainlander.

A refuge
In a world gone crazy, these podcasts are a refuge. A few minutes of good storytelling pleasure, a chance to slow down and breathe. And smile, and laugh.

Can’t wait for more!
Listened to the first episodes with that dumb smile on my face, thinking how great storytelling is art. It’s left me with the feeling like listening to Stuart MacLean did with The Vinyl Cafe. Thank you, Todd. Keep them coming!
