The Road of Shadows - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is so far the best from what I’ve listened to from Mark R Healy. The Strata is also excellent if you haven’t listened to it yet. Mark strikes the perfect balance between finding great voice actors, great writing, and sound effects that really get you immersed into the stories. I got to a certain point in this story (don’t worry, no spoilers here) where I was yelling in excitement for the protagonist and I figured if I’m enjoying the story this much then I need to write a review in the hopes that it gets someone else to listen. I thought I knew where the plot was going but I was wrong haha. Give it a listen!

This is a fun horror mystery that’s well produced and written. The story line is straightforward and there are very few twists - it’s not hard to guess where it’s going. But the acting is generally good - especially the actress playing Amber, who is fantastic and carries the show.

I don’t know why people are complaining about the profanity. It’s not a lot nor is it distracting. Some real thin-skinned listeners on here, I guess.

Overall I am really enjoying this production but I really do not care for the overuse of the GD profanity. There are plenty of other swearwords that could be utilized if necessary and I find this particular profanity to be distracting. Aside from that issue this has good acting, sound effects and storyline.

Nice to have a fictional podcast that is more than just a narrator doing different voices. Also amazingly refreshing to have a fictional podcast that doesn’t make all the male character “toxic” and doesn’t dwell and make everything about some ideology.
