What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The podcast is a great slow burn. It keeps you guessing from episode to episode. The only downside is the amount of ads BUT if they need that much of the episode to be ads, I’m thankful it’s at the beginning and end instead of breaking up the story in the episode since episodes are short. The audio is also not great with headphones. There’s rumbling in the background from time to time, probably to enhance suspense, but when that’s happening I can barely hear what’s being said and I can’t turn up volume without blasting my ears off. Overall, content = great.

I love the series. After coming back to this a year later and listening to 40 episodes in 3 days, it has been immensely enjoyable! The episodes feel like a little treat that I just can’t get enough of. There’s thankfully no ads half way through that would ruin the enjoyment and thrill that these bring. Thank you so much for this amazing podcast!

The Cellar Letters is an impressively unsettling slow-burn horror podcast. You can’t help but feel as helpless as Nate, the main character who is going Through It all the time. I hope he catches a break soon! I love how the plot acts as a kind of framing device for little short horror stories as Nate reads the letters in his basement while the overarching plot is also developing. It’s a very creative set up and I can’t wait for more to come out soon! And a note about the ads: yeah, there are ads. The amount and placement of ads on Rusty Quill shows are decided by Rusty Quill. Please consider this before paying attention to or giving out one star reviews that have nothing to do with the quality of work an independent creator is putting out. You can skip ads if you really must, or personally I sometimes adjust the playback speed to make them go by faster while hopefully still giving the creator the little bit of ad revenue they get from listeners letting the ads play. Have some patience and stop trying to tank someone’s reviews over something they can’t control.

I jumped into this podcast rather recently after seeing it on the RQ website. I was a little skeptical at the very beginning, but very quickly got hooked on the found-footage style, the dynamic between Nate and Steve, and the sound design. I am always a sucker for plotlines that start very cliche and then go in a completely different direction. Listening and re-listening continues to be a joy, and I am on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the next season. Amazing job!

EFY.023 · Jul 2023

I’m really enjoying this podcast. You know what I’m not enjoying? Half of every episode being ads. Literally half of some of these. Each of the eps could be an hour and then the ads would be normal but GOOD LORD. I know there’s a patreon but I can’t subscribe to 10 patreons to listen to podcasts. I would subscribe to a RUSTY QUILL patreon to listen to ALL the shows ad free but this is out of hand. I don’t even mind ads in podcasts normally, but this is literally 3+ minutes of ads up front and a minute of ads after for 10 minute episodes. And they’re SO LOUD compared to the episodes. I feel like I’m doing the podcast version of cable TV. It also absolutely destroys the ambiance and flow of the podcast. Very sad.

SushisaurusRex · Jan 2024

Too many ads for this to be entertaining. A 10 min episode can be 17 or more because of the ads in the beginning and at the end. I don’t know if it is the creator’s or Apple’s fault but until there is only a 5 min ad (which I personally still dislike) and only that. Then it would be a good podcast. I love the idea and the story telling style. I haven’t heard anything else like it and I would like for it to be better.
