  • Darkstead was a very nice surprise. I like vampire and werewolf podcasts but I'm not into the magic and demons very much. This one employed all of them in a truly enjoyable show. Very well done.

  • This was a fun format to listen to for a mystery, reminded me of old time radio before we had TV. The sound effects, character performances, and narration were very good. The supernatural aspect and fantasy characters kept me guessing. I listened to it in two sittings. Enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

  • An urban fantasy flavored mystery set in a small town filled with monsters. It's a very fun little "new cop" in town kind of story that's fully voiced.

  • I had a hard time finding a suitable list of mine to put this on. It´s funny, weird, with vampires? But I really love it! It´s a bit like "Dark Ages" with a witty dialogue, and then there´s a disappearance. Definitely going to keep subscribing to this one!
