Sometimes technical decisions can ruin a good piece of work. Such as the case of Motherhacker. Great storyline, good voices BUT I cannot begin to tell you how annoying and grating to the nerves all that static sound effect is. It’s just way too much on the ears and I was real close to tuning it out. Less is more and this podcast definitely needs less audio of static noise. Also where is the rest of the story? Episode 9 can’t be the last episode.

Amidst all the seasons-long podcasts out there, it's good to have some that are a bit shorter. I really liked Motherhacker - it feels real and relatable because of the millions of spam calls and identity thefts we see in the world today, but it also has that clever dialogue and just-offbeat-enough characters that really capture us in fiction. The writing, acting, and Foley (sound effects) work are excellent. My only criticism is the pacing - it feels rushed, especially the final episode. But maybe that's just the longer podcasts influencing me.

This may be one of the best written, edited and acted podcasts on the platform, but how DARE you only have one season? I watched this podcast days ago and can’t stop thinking about it. I honestly feel a little disrespected.
For real though, it’s a great show. It’s great for new podcast listeners and veterans. Would definitely recommend… more than I already have.

This was a well written, well acted story. I liked the short episodes; there were no unnecessary fillers to make the episodes longer. It has a good storyline with twists and a satisfying ending. Please produce more like it.

.. see a lot of people upset about season 2 exclusive on Spotify (rightfully so) ..here to let you know you’re not missing anything..it’s so awful couldn’t even make it past episode 2. Not trolling was a huge fan of season 1 and had all of season 2 downloaded for a flight. My wife and I both looked at each other half way through episode one decided to trudge on and didn’t make it past episode 2. Not all things that are good and garner a fan base need to keep going. Know when to quit. What a letdown.
