A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
The writing, voice acting and sound production are absolutely outstanding. This is how fiction podcasting is done right.
The stories are compelling, but the voice acting is phenomenal. This podcast should be a blueprint for all short story productions.
Top level of editing and sound design/ quality … Also it’s not one of those podcasts that just have one person reading the whole story this actually has real actors.. this show is one of the top 3 horror/drama podcasts
Always some how ending up deeply invested in these stories and they never cease to make me cry when they end, but in the best way
I don’t know what’s going on with this podcast. It was great when it started. I’ve listened from the start. It seems that the ‘line in sand’ keeps being pushed out with each new season. Is this a shock value increases downloads thing? Unfortunately for me, the Lilith season goes too far. It was very spicy and graphic. I don’t want to actually hear b j s and sa. There are tasteful ways to portray this. It was gross and uncomfortable. I really was excited for that storyline too. Finally unsubscribing. Too uncomfortable and don’t want coworkers and family to stumble on it.
