Soft Voice - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I really, really struggled with what to rate this audio drama. Because honestly, everything except the last ten minutes deserves well over 5 stars. I even enjoyed episode 5, a parody of true crime podcasts that was hit or miss for some people.
I was completely engaged in this podcast. The voice acting was phenomenal. The writing was sharp, and could turn from comedy to drama on a dime. I came to care deeply for the characters, most specifically Lydia and especially Jean. There were twists and turns and it was such an incredible portrayal of mental illness… until the last ten minutes.
The last 10 minutes are so confusing and strange, and seem to undo every message we have been given. It changed it from being about mental illness to something that seems more like sci-fi. My rating may change if QCode releases a second season that helps explain things, but given their track record for second seasons I’m not optimistic. I’m trying to pretend the last 10 minutes don’t exist because it’s sort of ruined the entire story for me, which is a shame because it was fantastic.

Loved every episode was very enjoyable and immersive. Wasn’t what I was expecting story wise which was a great twist for me.
But ending kinda feels like it falls flat. Could of went a little deeper with it or a couple different directions but kinda just ends abruptly.
Still a great show and still recommend. 👍

So I decided to start this podcast after bingeing other Qcode podcasts Borrasca, Gaslight, and the Left Right game. And it is safe to say their writers have a style. Sci-if seems to be a theme but I think this is truly a pretty good example of Dissociative Identity Disorder, with them obviously taking a few creative liberties. This may be, as some suggest, some hurried sci-fi ending riddled with inconsistencies that leaves you hoping for more but satisfied if it did indeed end there. But I challenge anyone who listens to do some research into DID. This actually seems a lot like what could possibly be a larger system trying to integrate. Overall I love the podcast! Very intriguing. I love that it really challenged my brain and left you to put together the puzzle of Lydia’s life.

Tough job to rate this one, but definitely not one to skip based on reviews. Give it a try and decide for yourself.

The audio production is spectacular. They’ve done a great job at creating drama, helping the listener imagine various scenes etc. Then, the inner struggles and dialogue of the main character should be relatable to most people, certainly was to me. The story was gripping as well from episode to episode. While the main twist in the middle and at the very end left a little bit to be desired, but I decided to give it 5 based on everything else.
