It's 1921. Maude starts writing in a diary, but her life is abysmally boring and she has nothing to talk about. A life of meaning feels far away. One afternoon, in an unusual pawn shop, she finds a tiny fragment of china with nothing on it but a bright blue eye. Maude takes the china eye home with her, not realizing she has cursed herself - straight into an underground world of paranormal speakeasies, plague mask thingies, magic doorways, unsolved murders - and an extraordinary life. https://www.minervasweeneywren.com/ @megmccauleyink Be part of the adventure: Patreon.com/sweeneywren Thank Darren Curtis for his intro music: https://www.darrencurtismusic.com/

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Ghostly Thistle mentioned this podcast on her show and I’ve been HOOKED! The story is amazing. The narrator has a wonderful mid Atlantic 1920s voice. I’ve caught myself with my mouth agape and hand on my chest listening to some of the twists and turns. A wonderfully fun jaunt!

Kitty cat privilege · Oct 2022

This is a story that is extremely well-written and told. The flow from episode to episode is tremendous. I found it very hard to listen to only one episode when I found this tale. Truly a great podcast for putting on the headphones and letting yourself get caught up in the story. Highly recommend giving it a listen.

GoBears42 · Oct 2022

I discovered the story of Maude late but once I did, Wow! Just Wow! I immediately binged the whole thing. If you are looking for a tale in which you can totally immerse yourself, contains a steady stream of surprises with a narrator whose voice borders on mesmerizing I’d not look any further.

Carlton A · Sep 2022

This podcast is AMAZING! The premise is so incredibly unique. My husband who isn’t at all into podcasts or audio stories loves listening because of how original and entertaining it is! I have nothing but glowing words for the show. Just go listen. Do yourself a favor. Listen now! Update: I’d had a hard time staying connected to the podcast between seasons. Also not sure about the direction of season 4 either. It went from an entertaining story about Maude’s journey as a magic unusual to a story with unnecessary love interest conflicts that don’t seem to help move the story along that much. We will see what the final few episodes of the series bring.
