- An adventure that you’ll never want to let go
I’ve been listening to Back Again, Back again since about half way through the story, and I kind of cannot believe that I haven’t written a review.
Back Again, Back Again is the ideal form of what I like to call “The Audio Drama Novel” which is a fancy way of saying that this could fit either medium perfectly, because there’s so much emotional tone attached to each word but there’s so much lore you’ll need to listen again.
That is the ideal way to experience this story though. Through the bri... more
Apple Podcasts5The Reviewer's Eye
United States2 years ago What at first seems to be a typical Narnia-like fantasy, quickly evolves into a stunning deconstruction of the genre's most common tropes. Add the fact that most characters are queer and you get a wonderful story that you can’t stop listening to.
Podcast Addict52 years agomaXiu- Immersive and delightful
What an amazing show, there is so much world explored even through just one individuals’ view! Can’t wait to hear what happens next.

Australia3 years ago - Beautiful show!
I’m not usually a big fan of single voiced podcasts but this one is awesome! Great storytelling, intriguing and so well done.
Apple Podcasts5AccesetteUnited States3 years ago Excellent and beautiful and painful. The story made me cry and the voice acting is so so good.
Podcast Addict3 years agoreeble- Wonderful High Fantasy Subversion
This audio drama begins with familiar fantasy elements of alternate realms, prophecy, and unquestionably good royalty, but swiftly turns this last element on its head. This show retains all the great elements one expects from fantasy - epic fights, magic, heartfelt moments and romance - without the intrinsically good monarchy element I’ve come to disdain.
Thankfully, this subversive story is very well-executed too. Eliza’s narration does the audio format justice and only gets better as the sho... more
Apple Podcasts5desertdrifterUnited States4 years ago Do you like Narnia? The Oh Hellos? Prophecy and chosen ones? if yes, then you'll love this podcast. The main characters are lovely and relatable. The setting is even more lovely. And there's rebellion against tyrants. What more could want?
Podchaser54 years agoCottonA stunning show with beautiful narration and immersive stories! If you're a fan of fantasty, I think you'll really like Back Again, Back Again!
Podchaser54 years agoTal MinearThis show is so well done. The narration, the language, the characters who continue to be themselves to the point of infuriation. Well worth the listen!
Podchaser54 years agoItMe!!- Fantastic!
I love Back Again, Back Again. It’s a compelling story that has me on the edge of me seat at the end of ever episode. The voice acting is great and despite it only being a story being retold, it’s like we are really reliving the events that took place.
I love the sounds effects cause they’re not overwhelming and the storyline is so compelling. You know exactly how the story ends but only the ending. You don’t know what happens in all that time and because it’s being told with commentary. You’re... more

Apple Podcasts5starkid <3United States5 years ago - Queer Adventure In Another World
This is a beautiful show that brings all of the wonder, mystery, and adventure of the Narnia stories and classic fantasy, centering queer characters. The world being weaved is rich, inclusive, and eminently believable, juxtaposed agains the ordinary life the main character has now returned to.
The writing and acting are great. Everything about the show draws you into this other world while building a sense that it's a beautiful thing that has been lost, at least for now.
The only negative thin... more
