A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Do you have a podcast that makes you really happy, stoked and feeling good when it updates with a new episode? That’s what Drabblecast is for me. I will usually pause whatever I am doing in order to listen to this. Many of the stories are the type that burn into one’s brain and can be recalled weeks-years later. If that’s not enough, Norm Sherman has one of the most enjoyable voices I have ever heard. He is to story telling what Robert Plant is to rock music! The best of the best list!
It seems impossible that I have not written a review for this podcast yet since I’ve been a regular listener for years. However, here we are. I started getting into fiction podcasts around 2015-2016. Since then, I’ve gradually whittled down the number of podcasts I listen to on a regular basis, only focusing on the ones I really like. This podcast always makes the cut. The stories are always bizarre, occasionally funny, occasionally thought provoking, occasionally gory, and always interesting. If that sounds like something you would be interested in, give it a listen. And please consider becoming a Patreon member so this podcast can continue doing its thing for many years to come.
The other reviews here say it all. I can barely imagine how much time and effort Norm and his crew put in to each episode. The stories are awesome to start with and then they add the sound effects and background music and other details that make the stories come to life in a way that no other podcast does. Norm is a crazy brilliant genius and I hope he eventually produces ten thousand episodes.
If you like Nocturnal Transmissions, Pseudopod, or Campfire Radio Theater then this is the podcast for you. I found this show by accident while searching for something else and I was hooked immediately. I love the music and the humor and the whole vibe of the show really makes the bizarre horror stories that much more unexpected and intense. This show keeps you slightly off-balance in a way that would be nauseating if you had no trust in the creators. Listening to this show is like standing shoulder to shoulder with lifelong friends, kicking rocks into the throat of the abyss. So so SO GOOD! Please give us more!
