I absolutely loved this audio drama podcast. The story is engaging, well-paced, and genuinely pulls you in from the start. What really sets it apart, though, is the acting. The performances are strong, natural, and far better than many other audio dramas I’ve listened to and would rather forget. It’s clear a lot of care and talent went into this production, and it deserves a much wider audience. If you’re a fan of immersive storytelling, this is definitely one worth hearing.
Broken Road is a terrific sci-fi western featuring an impressive voice cast (led by Manu Bennett, The Shannara Chronicles, Arrow, The Hobbit, Spartacus) and lush sound design. The story will quickly draw you in with its poignant, resonant themes and character relationships. I’m eagerly awaiting season two - and beyond!
I love this podcast! The story grips you right away…with all the near-future, dystopian tropes that fans will enjoy. Great storytelling, of course, which really comes home when you consider the quality of voice actors they’ve got. You can’t go wrong with Manu Bennett, can you? Peter Shinkoda and Lana McKissack are fantastic, which is exactly what you’d expect. And what’s really cool is that Indiana Massara is in this too. They all do great at gripping you as you listen, something that is super important when you’re listening to an audio drama. Looking forward to more!
I liked that this was a short audio drama. It was a great concept/ futuristic story that was well paced and I liked the ending. Listen away!
The audio is clean and the voices are nice but the writing is derivative. Also sometimes the emotions/acting doesn’t match the line being delivered. I had a hard time making it through the first episode with all the cliches. It’s not unique in the audio drama scene
After listening to episode 1 I’ve got to tell you the acting feels flat and boring. Which for a audio based medium might be the worst thing that can happen. Multiple people are supposedly injured or in pain, and it sounds like they’re a high school student reading of the page in the middle of class.
