Abigail Perkins ,

Just finish season one and loved it!!!

This podcast is fantastic. Not a long listen, I finished S1 in a work day, but the vibes are immaculate and the story is well thought out and creative. I had a lot of fun listening and am excited to head into season 2. (Also as a grad student, how Dr. Hel talks about working at The Enclosure and how The Enclosure acts toward him and Wichton really feels like just regular academia which I enjoyed even if it wasn’t intentional)

Khoshwithmost ,

Feels new and nostalgic

An American/midwestern gothic dream. Really captured the feel of living in a town that has a general “if you saw it no you didn’t” respect for the supernatural. The beginning episodes especially have the vibe of early classic audio dramas, but with a shiny new plot and premise.

Potato Lady Bex ,

You’ll Want Popcorn

This is spooky, fun, mysterious entertainment. I love the premise, and the protagonist is played to perfection by Casper Oliver. Told in audio diary, confessional style, the story unfolds in a way that keeps you coming back for more.
