A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I’m so enjoying this podcast so far. The theme music rocks, the sounds in the backgrounds of each scene make the story SO immersive, the voice acting is excellent (some voices I recognize from other great audio dramas!), and the story is so good. From the beginning I was hooked in. I’m looking forward to binging the rest of the show. Give it a listen!
GIJaneAusten · Mar 2025
I’ve been binging the story. The sarcasm is priceless. I’m planning on re-listening once I’m done with the lust for the story. I’m anticipating a similar experience as rewatching Back To the Future.
Be prepared for plot twists and whiplash. Let the story unfold instead of judging and categorizing it too soon. No, the characters are not plastic and may not be how they first appear.
Yes, the profanity is a little gratuitous. It’s also realistic for the circumstances.
I’m very close to calling this one “original.”
-liz's-Dad- · Aug 2021
Riggs is a great storyteller. Not many writers can paint a captivating landscape in addition to characters that you can love, hate, and actually miss hearing from and about. I hope the story continues and spawns more in the Copperheart universe. Easily top 3 next to Wolf 359 and The Gearheart.
Gotta Go Poddy · Feb 2021
Hooked early on and I listen to a lot of podcasts. This is superior in recording, story, and characters. Desperate to hear the ending.... please please more
Karenslist · Dec 2020
I am not easily offended by profanity but in this show it comes across as an amateur attempt at being edgy. It is not used to punctuate dialogue but to just happen all the time. I made it to the episode with the character who is victim of domestic violence pleading with an AI character to not tell on her husband, yes it was as cringe as it sounds. Characters are cliches and live within that single boundary. Decent production value and some worthy voice acting.
Me x 7 · Aug 2022
It’s okay, but, I found myself skipping ahead first by small chunks of an episode and ultimately several episodes. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything. There’s some great parts, but, the pace of the story line is brutally slow.
