A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Great podcast and can’t wait for new seasons. Only one complaint- in Season 13 the male characters all started to sound the same voice wise. Needs some work in that area, but otherwise: A+!

KarlisaJade · May 2026

This show creates are fully-realized worlds with deeply satisfying and immersive sound design and production values. It’s been super fun following the various characters’ story arcs each season and you get a jolt of excitement when different characters crossover and you get to see parts of the “big picture.” Mark Healy must have one huge story-board in his house to keep track of the various plot lines. I am always eager for the next episode to drop! Highly recommended from someone who tries out tons of SciFi/Fantasy/OTR podcasts only to actually listen through to very few.

Abbeyrd28 · Sep 2025

Voice acting is great and performed in a way that really empathize with the characters. The story is engaging, and the music and sound effects are top notch. Don’t miss this one!

Zundra · Jun 2025

Real good. Voice work is all solid. Story telling is engaging. First couple seasons flirt with being an anthology before it ties everything together and stays consistent. There’s really nothing else quite like this one on the market. One of the greats. It deserves more attention
