What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I originally found this podcast because I was (and still am) a HUGE mechanisms fan and wanted to see more of Jon’s work. And I’m happy to say I’ve become just as big of a TMA fan as I am a mechanisms fan !!! Sometimes I’ll put this podcast on when I’m sitting in particularly boring lectures and I can confirm that hearing about an archivist having the worst days of his life definitely makes school more interesting lol. Thanks to the creators of TMA and keep up the good work !!!

i found it back in 2020 when i was heavily depressed. the only thing keeping me going was looking forward to listening to more episodes of it. thank you mr sims and mr newall

ella jo 🔮🃏🪼 · Jul 2026

Fantastic podcast with great production values. One of the best out there for all you horror/thriller/mystery fans. Give it a listen!

UnclePickleBandit · Jul 2026

Adored the original show and wanted to like the new show, but the audio quality is shockingly bad. Like, can barely understand what they’re saying unless it’s full blast. And even then, it’s iffy. I gave four stars because I loved the original, but honestly guys the new show sounds like it was recorded on a tin can with a string.

Devbotcommander · Jul 2026

Quality of the story remains high, but the fact that there are 3-6 FULL MINUTES of intrusive advertisements before every episode makes them hard to enjoy. You don’t need that many. You simply don’t.
