I’m still Evo Terra ,

Destined to be a classic of fiction podcasting

This show couldn't be made in any other format other than a fiction podcast. The entire premise is dependent of the medium. And the soundscaping is as deliberate and well done as anything. Exquisite.

zkadc ,

phenomenal podcast !!!

Malevolent is by far my favorite podcast of all time! The storyline, the writing, the characters and their growth have all enthralled me tightly. An ominous, gripping tale that nevertheless will make you see the beauty of hope, love and the human spirit. I’ve gotten more than one person similarly hooked just by raving about it. I can’t recommend it enough!!!

SUCH an incredible podcast!

I love Malevolent! This story and its characters has completely enraptured me. It both horrifies and delights me.
