Seriously the best podcast. The writing is sharp and interesting. The characters are endlessly hilarious and an unrelenting joy to experience. The voice actors are crazy talented and compelling. The dialogue is witty and wordy, my favorite combination. The world of Victoriocity manages to be both consistently fun and also always well thought out. There is clearly such high effort and care and intentionality put into every single piece of this podcast, and the outcome is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to.
If steampunk is futuristic but based on the technology of the past, what is this? This story is the past, with the technology of the future. Like a cyberpunkish Victorian England. There might not be a name for this genre, but it’s definitely cool. And super original. P.S. due to the book written from this podcast, I finally got back into listening to audiobooks, aside from just listening to podcasts.
I just discovered this show and breezed through it all pretty quickly. Totally hooked me from the first episode. Absolutely brilliant writing by the Sugdens, Tom Crowley and Layla Katib are pitch perfect as Fleet and Entwistle, Pater Rae’s narration hits precisely the right tone, the whole cast just crushes it. This show has gotten more sudden and very loud outbursts of laughter out of me in extremely public spaces than I was prepared for. Do yourselves a favor and give this show a listen.
Victoriocity is the podcast I've been recommending to literally anyone I can think of. I was looking for a good comedic podcast and got more than I bargained for here; witty, natural writing, smooth and talented voice acting (in EVERY CHARACTER!), clever plots that have twists but no shark-jumping, a unique world without being A: absurd (in the bad way) B: self-important, and best of all, it's just plain fresh. No railroaded love story, agenda, message or trope of any kind; just a pure story with hilarious dry humor. I can listen to it no matter who's around, as well, because overall it's almost perfectly clean which shocked me in the best way. Bravo! Bravo!! I can't say enough good things and can think of absolutely zero negative critiques. If you like Terry Prachett, Brandon Sanderson, Robert Asprin, or any other number in those types of ranks, THIS IS YOUR PODCAST!
