So tired of these leftist agenda podcasts

Story & sound design is amazing - but MY GOD the voices of Toby in Hovering and Izzy in Uncanny Valley are grating.

Season one was great, season two didn’t listen, season 3 was great, 4-5 haven’t listened to yet. 5-7 couldn’t get past episode 1. Season 8 and 9 started flat but overall pretty good good. Disappointed how many female lead seasons there are but honestly, give it a try, you like some of the seasons for sure! Season 10 is just a letdown. Great story, but absolutely atrocious voice actor. I just can’t stand the bratty girl who sounds like she’s mentally slowed. European accents thrown me off too. This voice actress is constantly talking down and ordering people just kicks me out of it every time a dialog seen happens. I can’t tell if she’s 13 or older with a wacky voice. Honestly, I can’t tell you what is going on and I’m halfway through season 10, and I listen to these at work every day. I beg of the people behind this to scrap this voice actress and keep the story going with a new voice, please. Maybe next season.

Somewhat interesting story. Marginally believable characters. Would stick with it if each 20 minute podcast wasn’t actually a 10 minute episode with another 10 minutes of ads. A bit much.

Undertow has great production value and typically tells some great stories that keep me coming back for more. Hovering is the only exception, I don’t see how it fits the style of the show and feels completely different and not horror at all but just drama.

Super fun and interesting show! Very addicting. LOVE the variety. The sisters (season 6 is unreal)

Highly recommend enjoyed season 2, stoked for the rest.. season 9 is a banger!!! Listening to season 8. I jump around a lot but wow it’s got me hooked

Hovering has been released under a different podcast name. I knew it sounded familiar.

I can’t believe you spent half of Hovering episode one on the “emergency responder who doesn’t want to believe the caller(s)” trope. So, so bad.

I try and listen to these at work an I feel like I listen to more ads than show. The episodes are so short and at least a quarter of the audio are ads. It makes it very hard to stick with

Loved Joanne Froggat and I could listen to Stewart Scudamore read his shopping list and die happily.

Absolutely loved this story. The premise is very unique and well realized. I particularly liked the way the male “hero” was portrayed as a resentful pawn in the larger conflict. Would love to hear more by this author.

I paid for a year subscription to Realm a few months ago, but today I noticed ads when I started The Pulse. It says “subscriber edition,” so why am I getting ads?????

The voice acting is impeccable. The storyline is great, not weird and all over the place like some other shows I’ve listened to. No complaints, nothing bad to say about this one!

I’m so impressed with this series!! I’m only on season 2- blood Forest, but it is amazing. Very excellent sound effects, great actors, (I have a crush on Frank from Blood Forest lol). I appreciate the diversity!! I’m appalled that this podcast series doesn’t have better ratings!! The quality of the sound, story, the actors…it’s so well done!!

One of THE BEST story podcasts out there! So glad I found you and got sucked into the UNDERTOW!! 🌊 TYSM!! The preview of the Harrowing drew me right in. I didn’t even read the description. The sound effects are awesome! It’s like I’m watching a movie. As soon as I started listening, I heard the police woman’s voice and immediately recognized it! I paused the show, and read the description and sure enough! I was like wow they’ve got true actor/actresses that I know on here! And now I will know more and be sure to find & watch movies that have the ones I don’t know like the actress that plays Twig. I’ve already looked her up on IMDb! Thanks again for your wonderful production!! TOP NOTCH ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just listened to the latest episode of the Harrowing - the storytelling is top-notch, the voice acting is superb, and I'm totally hooked! Highly recommend checking it out.

i love all of the undertow show, and the harrowing is pretty good (so far)! great storytelling & sound effects, and interesting plots.

It was a great story, but it was pretty clear from the beginning how it was going to end.

Love the story. A few pointers for future works… Marines would NEVERRRRR refer to themselves or another Marine as “Soldier”. You call a Marine a Soldier in real life, they will promptly correct you. Also, Miranda Rights only apply to being questioned while in custody. Not exiting a car 🤪 But those are my only critiques. Five stars all around.

Best podcast I have heard in a long time, almost through and I really hope there is another installment/ season. But It seems to be a trend with the fiction podcasts in the last few years for production companies to do a lot of one season shows now, much rather they continue the must well loved instead of a ton of mediocre new ones every year. Please keep it going!

Good stories...the dialogue lacks but sound quality is good.

I’m confused. I was listening to The Harrowing on its own podcast, then it was taken off and put on Undertow. Which would be fine if they weren’t charging to listen to the rest of the show. It was free just a few weeks ago! Otherwise the show itself is really great!

I typically don’t listen to narrative-type podcasts like this, but now I feel like I’ve been missing out! Really thoughtfully produced and creative stories with interesting characters and plot lines! My only feedback would be to do even more character development, which I think would mean that episodes/the seasons would need to be longer.

The Harrowing has me hooked! Great show, love the mysterious quality to the story and where the story is set! Can hardly wait for the next elapsed! I look forward to the new episodes all week! I even Re listen to catch little bits that I might miss. Highly recommend “Sisters”!

Identify politics from the start. 👎

5 stars to help counter the people that complain of too many ads. Pay for premium if you don’t like ads. Creative minds need to make a living as well. On to the show…I really enjoyed it. Episodes were fast paced enough to keep it moving along briskly without a lot of pointless filler. Love this format because creatives are free to create episodes that are as long or short as they need to tell the best story they see in their mind. 60 minute drama is a forced constraint that requires filler, even if not needed, and worse, prevents from completing a thought, when needed. Sorry, the show is great. Characters are interesting to me, even if I’m terribly annoyed by some. Keep it up. 👍 more please. 🙏

There are like 7 minutes of ads in every ~22 minute episode

Season 1 was a ehhh season for me but still liked it. Season 2 was on point! Loved it! Now to finish the rest of the seasons. Update: season 3 was perfect. Season 4 almost finished but it was a turn from everything dark. Still good I’d say. Update: season 4 wasn’t necessarily for me but finished it. Season 5 was nice to hear to familiar characters. Hope you continue that story. Season 6 was super good. Season 7 was ehhhh my second least favorite Now for season 8.

Great sound effects and acting but the story is a little hard to follow. It felt like some parts of the story were missing or cut out.

Good story. The episodes were too short for such a short season. I enjoyed it but feel it was rushed.

Good actors and the story had a lot of potential, but the episodes are so short and some feel as if they have more ads than content.

Good stories and acting and sound design, but the episodes are so short with so many ads, each season is really just the length of an episode of another podcast just spread out over weeks with tons of ads. Worth a listen, but be prepared.

Loved it 😍

The only thing I really can’t stand are all the Boston accents!

Season 3 skips all over the place sometimes in keys points of a story. Very disappointing.

But Frankie is super, super annoying. Like a melodramatic child, hard to take seriously. Her character and the acting ruin what could’ve been a superb spooky story.

This is a really fun show. Worth a listen or sub. Check it out.

I love this entire network & this series as “SISTER’S” was wonderful! This new series is a great story I’m on edge of seat each 8 minutes the listener actually hears of the confusing 19 minute total episode that once ALL the commercials play it’s about an 8 -10 minute show at best! What I don’t get is all the other seasons were what I’d call “normal” timed episodes compared to not only previous seasons but with other podcast episodes as well.. Is this a play to make listeners buy patreon to skip commercials which would still be useless here as the entire dialogue is about 10 minutes?? Full episodes used to be 30 plus minutes easily and that’s all dialogue not including commercials… I’m just saying I love your podcasts and writing but please make the episodes long enough to get into and enjoy as if episodes/seasons aren’t ready listeners will listen to another show on same network I promise and come back for the longer episodes of a finished season .. Thanks and keep writing superb content just longer shows! Thanks

This had great potential. The first episode was well paced and created a great atmosphere. The sound production and actors are also great. Unfortunately, the story goes down from there. Too many gaps, too quick paced with plot holes, and an escalation without much of a background that has been fleshed out a bit. It made it super difficult to get back into. Also, the little girl, Anne or whatever, just ends up sounding crazy even though we know what she’s saying is true. Without much explanation and fleshing the mystical parts of this thing out, it continues to sound like the nonsensical fantastical ramblings of a kid. Finally, I have no idea what happened in the cave. This part with the divers was the most interesting part, but once Veronica went down it accelerated too quickly and it was difficult to discern what was actually happening. All in all, i’d pass on this.

Beautifully written show. And voice acting is top notch. Put your head phones in and turn out the lights

I’ve always wanted to dive but now I’m not sure—pretty scary, especially the underwater scenes. I’ll finish it still bc I want to know what happens.

I love just about every season that’s been released. The stories this podcast releases keep me on the edge of my seat! Literally! I’ve jumped and squirmed at the description of some of the characters' demise. I was just getting into season 7 but it is only 2 episodes. What happened!? Please make more for season 7!

Loved how spooky The Sisters was and now loving the eeriness of Narcosis! Next episode pleaseee.

This is my first exposure to the world of the Dark Tome. So, after listening to three episodes and realizing that there was more to the story that I didn’t know, I went back and listened to all of the Dark Tome podcast. Not only is the world they built an interesting and terrifying place it also has an incredible amount of beauty to it. The representation of non-white people, as well as non-hetero normative individuals gives this story the bite of a real world with palpable dramaAnd show – don’t – tell perfection. If you are a listener who is interested in horror/fiction podcasts this podcast is the one for you.

I absolutely love these stories I wanna see them on the big screen!

The stories were all interesting, except for the last one. The last episode of the camp serial killer sounds more like the killer would annoy the life out of you. I understand the humor that’s in it, but What an irritating character! His voice, his lines in the story… it all wants to make a killer out of you! That one gets a 0, but the rest are worth the listen!

I only listened to The Sisters and it is very enjoyable.

Enjoy this story from the beginning. Love the creepiness of the story can’t wait for the next episode.

I write this mostly about Season 6, “The Sisters.” I’ve listened to a ton of “troubled adult finds/rediscovers a mysterious object that in turn recalls a buried past” media (Candle Cove is a critically underrated example of this), yet the writers and actors of this series make it fresh and engaging. Whoever wrote this definitely did their research, and it shows in the product, while simultaneously avoiding being overly didactic. A lot of writers, when they find an interesting topic, will over-explain it, yet this series manages to ground the information in what its CHARACTERS would find interesting and pertinent. The writing truly keeps you guessing, and uses the typical form of “researcher becomes obsessed with a mysterious artifact” to lead the listener away from what I am going to assume is the final twist of the series (only seven episodes have been released as I write this), while subtly hinting at it. They also do a great job of making it haunting without stooping to cliche horror tropes. I would also like to say that Mae Whitman’s performance is extraordinary. She truly gives her all to the character, and manages to portray a complex personage very well. Episode 7 was a standout performance. I was also pleasantly surprised to see David Morrissey on the IMDB page; he is a truly underrated actor and his casting just shows the entire productions dedication to portraying complex characters. I’d also say that the Orla McDonough, the actress for Mary and Maude is one of—if not the best—child actors I’ve ever witnessed give a performance. I was so impressed that for a second, I didn’t believe that it wasn’t a child actor, but some Grey DeLisle type actress. I only lived in the North for two years, and am originally American, but it is my understanding that this actress is Irish, and her Northern accent (at least to my American ears) is very impressive. Overall, highly, HIGHLY recommend this podcast; everyone gave their all for it, and it shows.
