What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Archive 81 is expertly well done, with an amazing storyline, characters , and actors. It really showcases how immersive podcasting as a medium can be especially through their unique use of beautiful original music and sounds. I absolutely love this podcast and it’s my favorite work of fiction out there out of movies , books , podcasts, everything.

maybeitslaura · Sep 2024

Archive81 is a masterpiece. Marc’s writing is brilliant, the voice acting is top notch, and Dan’s sound design is literally otherworldly good. Also low key some of the most original music and music production anywhere - not just in a podcast. Admittedly also found it thru the Netflix show which is incredibly good but not half as mind-blowing as this series. I am friending so hard for Season 4 - hopefully it happens someday. Last note, the creators of this show are so down to earth and hilarious. You truly feel like you’re part of something rare, secret, and yes, truly magical.

BenBenSings · Jan 2023

I don’t usually listen to fiction podcasts and this had me hooked. The “found recording” premise is really well constructed and incorporated into the storyline. If you’re here from the Netflix series, keep in mind that podcasts and television are two very, very different mediums. The writing is tight, streamlined, and compelling. 5 stars.

ixora05 · Aug 2022

Archive 81 is one of the great original fiction podcasts. It's unfortunate that the rating is being pulled down a bit by people who have come because of the Netflix show and are disappointed. If you are a fan of fiction podcasts this is a great one. If you enjoyed the show on Netflix and are here to check out the podcast, please know that the two mediums are VERY different and you may not enjoy this format if you haven't listened before.

GASEAHAWK · Apr 2022

It’s a popular show, but I tried to make it though season 1, but I had to check out around episode 7. The voice acting is pretty amateurish, particularly from a direction standpoint. The frame story is boring and the worst part of any episode. The pacing is slow. The whole thing is just clichéd, and just plain bad. Go listen to Tanis or The Black Tapes instead.

jonathankoren · May 2024

This is fine. Dialogue feels rushed, forced, and rather cringey. The writing and voice acting are pretty unclear on what is happening at various points and the sense of time is non-existent. People seem to love this show and while I think season 3 is pretty solid, it’s a slog and a half to get there.
