Superb!

I want to thank Richard Crowest for his powerful narrations of these wonderful stories. He is one of the world’s finest voice actors and I feel lucky to have found this podcast which is now my favorite. I listen to each story multiple times and whenever there is a new one released, I am positively thrilled. Thank you!!

Evocative stories and storytelling.

All rolled up in one. No over the top plays acting accentuated by a quietly told yet penetrating foray into the darkest part of our collective past and future consciousness.
Also a lot of fun.

One of my favorites

I’m so glad I found this podcast! Host Richard Crowest does such a stupendous job of bringing each story to life. Every time I see a new episode come out I get excited to listen, but it’s also become a “comfort” podcast to me where I love relistening to past episodes where I’m trying to relax while traveling or trying to sleep. Not all the stories are as good as others (not every story can be The Man Who Went Too Far or The Room in the Tower), but each episode is always an incredibly enjoyable experience thanks to the professional audio design and Richard’s great talent as a narrator (not to mention probably the biggest allure, Richard’s incredible, enthralling voice!). Richard, if you’re reading this, your work is very appreciated! Please keep up the great work!
