Friends of the Friend

Sean Abraham Preston

This psychedelic mystery thrill-ride is an Alice in Wonderland glimpse into the darkness of pop culture and the unholy beings who inhabit it. The serialized story follows an investigation into a silicon valley cult and it's connection to some supernatural murders. It's metaphysical, enchanting, scary, at times darkly humorous, and always captivating.

  • Interesting, worth a listen

    If you find you might benefit from a bit of a departure from your scientific rationalist reality tunnel, this maybe a nice vehicle for some such respite.

    Ambitious material, sometimes intriguing and occasionally disjointed, adequately woven into an unusual narrative peppered with some compelling concepts...wrapping up this set of obliquely-related yarns would be an impressive task. Time will tell just how.

    A cult, fictional depictions of real celebrities, magick, murder...

  • A bingeable supernatural beast of a podcast

    I grinned all the way through the first two episodes because they were sooo unexpected and fun. There’s NOTHING ELSE LIKE THIS! We’ve got mystery, intrigue, celebrities, cults, 90's nostalgia, unearthly stuff…and the story is still unfolding. This slightly alternate world is strangely comforting right now. It’s an adventurous escape with a host who is totally relatable. Not sure exactly where we’re going, but that's the greatness of the show! I'm loving the twists and turns of this wild, m... more

  • Goes Nowhere

    An aimless, wandering, uninspired, rambling camp fire story of an attempt at scifi. Drifts all too easily toward gratuitous violence and sex, never for good reason. It has only a few (they're painfully long) scenes that don't really unfold so much as kind of... spill out, obviously with little thought involved.

  • Sexy Pychedelic Cyberpunk Cult Goodness

    Really awesome listen. Such a unique piece of audio fiction. I’m always looking for new trippy cult stuff and this happens to be the first audiodrama that has even mentioned technospiritualism. It’s just awesome, give it a listen.

  • I must be the only one

    I hated this. The characters are repulsive, one-dimensional tropes. Nobody seems to have any explanation for what they do. “I don’t know why I took it/walked over there/stood on my head” type of lazy writing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the other reviews are all friends of the creator. Give this one a pass.

  • A Friend with Vast Potential

    An unassembled puzzle.

    Pieces that are provocative, familiar, highly imaginative, bizarre, and even off-putting.

    This pod knows where it’s going, but you don’t. If that scares you, then well you might not want to listen.

    But you should.

    Listening to the recent episode was an eye-opener. The sound quality, the effects made me feel apart of the expereince. The storytelling involving Marilyn Manson and the cult got me like (O.O). Keeping an eye on the upcoming episodes for sure!!!
