I just found this because of the RQ feed drop, and going through the backlog - this is so GOOD! Tense atmosphere, great sound design, original songs and covers integrated into the story. I’m obsessed. Can’t wait to find out what happens next at the end of each episode.
I love the delivery, I love the premise, I love the unusual flow, I love how refreshing this style is. I even love the intro/outro ramblings of a creator ad-libbing thanks and news.
TL:DR, fantastic podcast, everyone who likes horror podcasts should listen! First, I’d give this 11/5 stars if I could. I’ve been listening to woe.bg since it started, and that’s how I became aware of this. I’m not sure if this is how Athan talks in real life, but at first, I was worried it was just going to be another Troy like character. I could not have been more wrong. There is a complexity of writing and a way to string the episodes together that keeps me on the edge of my… Driver seat? I am currently on episode seven and thought it was time to leave a review. If you like horror, you will love this. This podcast in my opinion is the perfect marriage of in the mouth of madness Chuck Pahlinuk’s fight club. While initially, I was concerned that it was going to be too much like will be gone given the similar casting I quickly realized Athan has his own vision and direction for his show and I cannot wait to see what happens next. Keep writing my man, this is phenomenal stuff. (I would like to apologize if I used incorrect pronouns in my review, as I was about to hit publish it occurred to me I didn’t properly research that aspect.)
I’m not really one for subliminal horror. Or podcasts in general honestly. Yet this has pulled me in and is such an amazing listen. I’m about halfway through and just cannot wait for the rest. Bravo to the entire cast and Athan for such an amazing creation of music and storytelling.
