What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I usually prefer a multi-episode series rather than an anthology with a different story in each episode but WOW, has this made me a believer in the format. First-rate acting, writing, editing, sound design, production, direction, you name it. How they can hook me and tell a complete story from start to finish in such a short amount of time is beyond me. There are some seriously talented people behind this pod. Plus, I learned about Ireland! I hope they make many more seasons.

A horror podcast that’s actually scary?! What is this, season one of the magnus archives??? Petrified is great. Strong writing and voice acting. Not every episode is a home run, but that’s the joy of anthology style podcasts. Turn it off and move onto the next one.

Daveiii · Jan 2025

This really is a delight; so many horror shows lean into camp when you bring in a ful cast and crew, but not this one. The stories are surprising, vivid, and yes, scary. I hope I’m not finding this show too late and that more will come. I understand this kind of production takes time and money, so I will hope that’s why the gaps in release, rather than the Dead Podcast Void (the scariest thing of all)!

Chaotik_lord · Aug 2024

Just discovered this podcast a few days ago (as I’m always on the lookout for new scary things), and I was instantly hooked. As someone who’s been a horror fan since childhood, I’m quite difficult to scare…yet—with Petrified (especially Melody’s Story Hour), I simply couldn’t get through an episode without shuddering. Everyone involved with this show does such an incredible job of creating a nightmarishly immersive atmosphere. Would highly recommend to other horror fans and anyone who appreciates brilliant storytelling.
