Finally giving into the trenches of tumblr

Despite being in the throes of tumblr warfare when TMA was first released it’s taken me this long to actually listen (and immediately re-listen). Astounding writing, slick episodes and an overall brilliantly immersive experience. I honestly can’t get enough of the lore and the depth of detail and am beyond excited to see what The Magnus Protocol brings. Thank you all for giving us stories that are drenched with horror but also love - love for the themes, the characters, storytelling, the listeners.

u dont get 2 know my name. ,

statement begins

theres a reason the magnus archives is such a well known and well loved audio drama, and that reason is that jonny can write a damn good torte of tragedy
(i sure do love my horror desserts. anyone for some grim souffle?)
join us in sobbing over every single character, in creating elaborate theories and conspiracies, in staring wide eyed at the ceiling for hours every night, newly terrified of whatever the fear of the week is
with 200 episodes of content and the magnus protocol in the works, youll be here a while
welcome home, friend
please dont stare at the eyes on the walls too long
or the doors
or anything, actually

reviewerofappsmwahhahah ,

Hello, Jon

Apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you were reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself.

All jokes aside, this podcast has kept me entertained for countless hours, and every twist or reveal has left me shaking in my seat. It has amazing and developed plot, and elaborate character arcs that leave you feeling like you know the characters yourself.

The fandom is incredibly welcoming and everyone is extremely excited for the Magnus protocol, would recommend to everyone. (AND I HAVE!!)

Thanks Jonny, Alex and every amazing person who worked on this amazing podcast.
