What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is a wonderful companion to our journeys into that strange realm where either magic, mystery, or malice may suddenly creep from the shadows to reveal we’ve left the normal world and are deep into the Twilight Zone. I love Tom Elliot’s thoughtful approach to TZ, taking time to consider what makes the storytelling effective. Even with the less successful episodes, he works to find the best in each rather than just trash talking them. I really like how he stretches beyond the boundaries of the episodes, sharing short stories, interviews, and other elements that further illuminate our journey. A+!

Everything you could want from a Twilight Zone podcast. Sounds great, Tom’s voice is professional sounding and calming, and the inclusion of Twilight Zone music bits really adds something. The extra long Nightmare at Twenty Thousand Feet episode goes above and beyond. There are some ads now, but they aren’t too long. There is a Patreon to support this podcast as well! I always look forward to new episodes, including the occasional ones where he reads the story on which the episode was based. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I adore this podcast. I have loved the twilight zone since I was a child. An English teacher showed us “the monsters are due on maple street” and I have been hooked ever since. I love how Tom pieces together interviews and moments from the show with his view of the episode. It is clear he is a Serling fan and it’s like hearing a well informed discussion from another fan. I am starting from the beginning in 2023 and enjoying this so much. Clearly this is a labor of love, thank you Tom!

Tom Elliot has already established his place within Twilight Zone culture. Well-researched, a spirit of inquiry, and a wonderful connection with the audience—these are just a few of the reasons why The Twilight Zone Podcast will remain a go-to companion for those who are familiar with Rod Sterling’s landmark show and for those who are discovering it for the first time.
