The Ghosts on This Road

I don’t even know what to title this to capture this review. I’ve listened to this podcast in completion no less than 5 times. The way Linda writes and builds these slow burning, bizarrely calming and sinister plot lines…the absolute unparalleled chemistry of Linda and Soren- I have zero notes. This is a top 5 podcast.

This show can be frustratingly abstract. Even if it’s a creepy fiction, I’d prefer more linear stories, with less out-of-context poetry or conspicuously used wording and slow/rambling which doesn’t flow naturally, especially from the female voice actor. Her voice and script can be annoying. Knifepoint Horror is more linear and uses the slow-burn creep factor more effectively. Sometime the story is confusing and jumps around. It’s possible to listen to episodes and not actually know what some of them were about by the time it’s over. Some episodes just abruptly end with no clear reasoning as to why it was the end. I want to like this show but find it hard to.

Takes me away, mixes me up, and leaves me wanting more.

This woman’s voice is so painful to listen to that I’m contemplating stepping into the path of oncoming traffic! Thus becoming the Ghost in this Road!
