What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I stumbled across this podcast and I love it! The performances are spectacular, and the ‘observed worlds’ are interesting and well built, I really love the format that they are unveiled in. 100% recommend!!

Anoй · Mar 2025

What would you get if you combined The Outer Limits, Black Mirror, Welcome to Nightvale, and a little bit of Futurama? Probably something that’s less good than this show, which manages to marry its many interests and inspirations into a cohesive, riveting whole. With a who’s who of creepy voice and writing talent rotating through the cast, and the perfect bite-sized episode length, this tray of dystopic bonbons is good all the way through.

Ada / Grey · Dec 2024

It’s really well produced and well acted. Definitely give it a shot if you’re looking for a good anthology series that’s easy to get into and manages to make apocalyptic horror that isn’t overdone or completely depressing. Just good spooky content from a bunch of great creators. The voice actors are all from other great podcasts like The Silt Verses and Skulltenders, too.

ThisWarofYours · Nov 2024

A truly excellent found-footage creepy anthology podcast à la Black Mirror, with underlying lovecraftian vibes. Perfect listening for my late-night commute through miles of deserted body shops and used-car lots.
