Big Changes for Plum!

Matt Phelan · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Maxwell Glick
72/100
👍 Worth It

A warm, well-crafted series finale with genuine heart — Phelan handles themes of change and leadership with humor and authenticity, and the emotional payoff is real for fans who've followed Plum's journey. Standalone listeners without series context will feel the difference, and the stakes are deliberately gentle rather than adventurous. Maxwell Glick's narration is a clean, competent fit for the comedic tone; nothing flashy, but it doesn't get in the way of the warmth that makes this work.
