SEASON 4 FINALE OUT NOW!
On an ordinary evening in November 1993, Micah’s entire world collapsed when her father, Nolan, died in a car accident. That night left Micah haunted by debilitating night terrors and a mysterious recurring dream that's always felt like more than it seems.
How it Ends was meant to dispel the nightmares and help process her loss. Instead, Micah's world is upended when she receives new information about her father’s accident from an unexpected source. Though she has more questions than answers... one thing is clear.
Sometimes dreams aren’t dreams at all—they’re memories.

This slowest of slow burns is full of feelings and emotions. But it's also full of suspense and excitement. That juxtoposition makes for a compelling listen, and their take on the podcast-within-a-podcast framing device plays well to my geekier side. Settle in and enjoy!

I get that it won’t be for everyone, but everyone saying that the plot is slow kinda missed that that is the entire point. That is because the show isn’t ABOUT the plot. In my view, the plot here is just something that happens. The show shines in the characters. How they interact, the way they live through it all. It tells a realistic story about people just living their lives, while a story happens alongside all that. Don’t go into this podcast for the story. Go into it for the characters, the friendships. That’s what it’s about.

I’m not in the habit of giving bad reviews, but this podcast is awful and I’m frankly feeling like a fool. And I hung in there for all three seasons, believing in the slow burn other reviews said was worth it. The “realistic” conversations are too realistic. Banal and pointless. Talking about menus is a regular event. Whole episodes (hours) will go by in which you learn basically nothing- neither plot nor characters more forward. The actors themselves seem bored with the scripts. Even when action happens (which is exhaustingly rare!) they can barely rustle up an emotive tone. Supposedly they are “all in danger” for three seasons but you’re 2/3 of the way through S3 before they kinda, maybe have some danger. It’s a great podcast for falling asleep, but if you want action, mystery, or intrigue, this is not it.

the characterization of each and every one of these episodes blows me away every time. i feel like i can see and feel exactly what the characters do. the mystery only gets better as the episodes play, so of course this show is worth a listen, and then a re-listen, and maybe even 5 times over, especially since there's SO much to unpack with every single person they introduce to us!
it may seem a little slow to begin, but believe me, it's worth it guys. if you go in open minded and willing to have a great story told to you, it's genuinely one of the best shows you can throw on. i love the supernatural lore and events sewn together with such realistic depictions of young adulthood.
To the team: thank you so much! i can tell this means a lot to them, and that's honestly the most worth-it part of the equation here. thank you guys! ❤️
