The show really grew on. It started a bit, “Oh, this is interesting,” and then it was suddenly addictive.

Lately I’ve had to spend a lot of time in the car, so I’ve taken up horror fiction podcasts. I found a big list of them, wrote them all down, folded them up, put them in a bag, shook it up, and, well, here we are - the first one I pulled was Weeping Cedars. That’s both a blessing and a curse. The writing is phenomenal; I can’t even imagine the amount of work that must have gone into creating literal decades of history for multiple locations. The story can be a bit confusing, as there are lots of names and places to keep track of, but I like horror with a side of puzzle to solve. Of course the voice acting is also great!! Unfortunately every other podcast I listen to has Weeping Cedars to live up to now!! I want to know more about this town and its tragically bizarre history and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this project.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story and the deliberate pacing. Gives you plenty to think about.

The unironic obsession with gender/identity stuff is kind of cringe and feels like a political shoehorn in an audio drama that was supposed to be a horror mockumentary. Lee (the narrator) is very narcissistic and pretentious for someone that’s making a weekly documentary about something other than herself. she’s much more of a me-searcher than a researcher. The voice acting is pretty good though, and the production isn’t “over-produced” like mino beats whale stuff, so 2 stars.

Season one was great I genuinely liked it . Season two just felt all over the place.

I'm hugely excited for this brand new horror audio drama. Weeping Cedars is an amazingly creative idea. I can't wait to see how this unfolds. If you're a fan of shows like Alice Isn't Dead or Welcome to Nightvale, you will NOT want to miss Weeping Cedars! *UPDATE* September 2022...I loved the original three seasons of Weeping Cedars, and also adored the in-fiction audio drama Into the Shadows. I'm really excited to see where this next part of Weeping Cedars goes.

Original podcast was very interesting and had some depth but where did that go ? Just drop everything and now it’s a cheesy private eye melodrama ?

Came here for a Voice From Darkness podcast, so I had faith to stay through the first couple dry episodes. It was worth it!!! The beginning episodes establish how it should be mundane, but every episode after digs deeper into the eerie history of the town and “facts” not adding up. A clever, historical take on horror. Almost as if you are a research grad slowly uncovering what’s buried in this small town. Please come back with more for 2021!! I need more.....

Original, well-written and relatively balanced. The true horror reveals itself when starting in the first episode, it’s revealed that some sneak-thief must have broken in, stolen the script and replaced every occurrence of the word “she” with the word “they” just before going to studio! Because that, and that alone, could be the only explanation that doesn’t invoke, “ :sigh: we’re still doin this…?” in every listener’s inner dialogue, while they rub their thumb and finger over their eyes in exhaustion. Not a bad show though!

I especially love the radio broadcasts. Emma’s delivery is perfect. But in season two Clarence and his gossip corner is gone. He was great!
