What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Experience “radio reborn” with a diverse range of offerings, from faithfully adapted classics to newly penned adventures featuring familiar characters. As well as diversify in length (multi episode, single shot) to genre, from the somber fishermen crew of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to the physical comedy of Flash Gordon. What unites this range of “radio reborn” is a flair for the vintage in the voices in the style of yesteryear (50s, 60s and 70s), as well as a similar classic radio quality like media actually from the time. Very good acting all around for those with a similar love of old time radio, the sound of black and white film noir as well as golden age comedy. Enjoy!

I stumbled upon this show through Reddit. It caught my attention because I love old time radio shows. The Mindstream Players do an uncanny job of breathing new life into classic old radio show scripts, sometimes with faithful adaptations, and other times as parodies that had me cracking up. These are livestream recordings and yet somehow they have injected music and sound fx to give the show an audio drama feel. For the most part, the various microphone audios hold up for being a livestream (at first I didn't even realize it was a livestream, that's how well the audio holds up.) And even in the very few times that it falters, the music and production is still higher than most podcasts. It doesn't detract from the show at all. The voice-acting is top notch and the writing is sharp. But forewarning, this podcast is sometimes NSFW. "The Hairy Handed Hitchhiker" episode is very funny but it's for mature audiences only. 😂 Anyway the podcast is a gem and I'm happy I found it. I'm gonna keep them on my feed and I hope to hear new episodes soon.
