What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature” is an incredibly thought-provoking and original podcast that challenges conventional ideas and offers fresh perspectives on literature and culture. The production quality is excellent, and the voice actors are top notch, making every episode a captivating experience. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the new season, praying you’d come back! Love that this podcast sparks curiosity and inspires deeper thinking. Highly recommended for anyone seeking meaningful and engaging content!

Social Digita · Dec 2024

If you want a quick payoff, or even want a series to answer all your questions, this isn't the series for you. I don't even know if this will end having answered most of the questions it raises, though I enjoy it all the more because of that. If, however, you like incredibly detailed world building, are happy just exploring a world where, like the real-world understanding of ancient history, there are many unknowns and unanswered questions that will likely never be answered, and can revel in sound design that replicates a college classroom lecture in exquisite detail, you will love this. There are references to real and fabricated ancient history that fit together seamlessly, an interweaving of ancient mythic stories and ideas from fantasy and science fiction in ways that manage to coherently blend the ideas in to something strange and new. Like the philosophy of the Second Anterran Empire, go in to this accepting that it's better not to know than to know, and you'll enjoy this far more. Make demands for certainty and you'll break the entire thing. As a side-note: complaints about PC or Woke ideas in this are misguided. Ancient cultures had wildly varying modes of thought about all sorts of things (a tiny portion of real world ones are covered here, too), so having an ancient society with flexible gender references isn't so much PC as the type of thing you might actually encounter in this type of study. Doesn't say a thing about our current cultural battles - we're talking about a fictional ancient civilization, one without a written code of law or legal system, and led by a purposefully uneducated child kept in darkness their entire life. It doesn't map on to modern society - so don't push the thing in to that mold.

Ingeniator · Jun 2024

This is the podcast of all podcasts. Masterfully written, paced to perfection, the voice of the professor is soothing and convincing. I have listened to many podcasts in this genre - this is the gold standard! Can’t wait for more.

Lizandluis · Jan 2024

The first few episodes of Anterran Literature grip you. The Professor's (unfounded?) dedication to this hidden society has a way of taking a conspiracy theory and making it feel more plausible. The world of Anterra is rich, the storylines taking place outside of the classroom are great, and the inherent mystery leads to a strong premise. However, by the end of season one and the beginning of S2, the lecture episodes perfectly mirror a college seminar: very talky without much conflict. Episodes about music theory and artifacts drone on and on with very little new information being learned. Using a college lecture as exposition/world builidng is a clever device, but I find myself wishing for more plot and development of the overarching conspiracy rather than hearing encyclopedia entries on a fake civilization.

Nick McNulty · Sep 2023

I really wanted to like this podcast. I gave it a shot, ALL the way to the beginning of the 4th season. The concepts are fun and I’m not against world building or character discovery. The constant delivery through “professor lecture” format ended up being boring and off-putting. The few interactions between characters and the ensuing dialogue was intriguing. I was constantly waiting for more of it, which never came. It had such great potential. I wish it became what it could have.
