What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a great story, one on my small list that grips and holds my attention… definitely binge worthy. The acting is well done; I love all the different characters, with a variety of backgrounds and dialect. If you like stories that are a bit scary, and you can picture it as a possibility, (the acting and all the characters help with that!)… this is a great choice for you. Happy to give it a well deserved five star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Greetings I listen to a lot a audio theatre. To me it’s one of the greatest things in podcasting. We’re alive, leviathan, king falls , right left game on and on. So many great creators out there. Phenomenon is up there with some of the better ones. Voice acting is top notch sound effects excellent. The story was interesting and hooked me in quickly. A few complaints would be occasionally action wasn’t described very well and the ending was a little disappointing. The mention of “the red cloud with voices” was left unexplored making me wonder why it was mentioned. However those are minor to a overall listen worthy story. Kudos to all involved. Look forward to more from these creators

Hardcore binged this one. Production value and voice actors are both top notch. Storyline is compelling. I need more.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. These seem to be few and far between gems of well scripted/good voice acting and great sound effect podcast stories. THIS IS ONE OF THEM. Great find. I’m hooked. *I have chronic pain and when I need to zone out I put my noise canceling headphones on and love being fully immersed into a story where you can hear and picture everything. Thank you.

I don’t know about the other seasons, but the writing and acting in the first season is very predictable and uninspiring. Much of the dialogue rests on cliches; for example, the submarine captain speaks as if he’s a caricature (imagine a satire of a 1940s WWII movie, with some kind of southwest twang). Personally, it kills the flow of a story when dialogue is used to deliver a lot of information; for example, when the American wakes up in Japan he’s asking questions and in ways that its clear that the writers are trying to give us more info but it makes the dialogue sound stilted. And then there are all the secret government agency machinations and acronyms that, again, just sound predictable. There are some individual scenes and dialogue snippets that are successful but, overall, there just isn’t much tension in this story because I don’t really care about the characters (probably b/c there are so many characters you really don’t spend much time with any of them).

This entire series is composed of small bits of scattered dialogue followed by lengthy pauses of dead air leading me to wonder did my phone go dead? Is this the end of the episode? Then we have constant repeats of a long list of the producers the actors etc etc and then the screechy hazard warning…..over and over. This could have been compressed into 5 episodes which would have been much better. It’s too long and slow the way it is. I didn’t really like it. Could have been better.
