  • Why is Micah the worst person?

    Why make a podcast where the protagonist is so unlikable? A good podcast recommended this one so I just kept listening thinking it would improve — the awful acting, Micah’s non story and atrocious personality - WHY do this?! The main character is so self centered and forced, I can’t understand why they made several seasons of this.

  • I started listening to How It Ends during the pandemic and was immediately hooked. The characters feel so real which makes the creepy mysterious things happening all the scarier. The further you get in the story, the more you'll want to go back and relisten, because there are hints and clues along the way.

    This show explores how real people react when inexplicable, life-altering things happen.

  • How It Ends is an exploration in grief, the turmoil of loss, and the complexities inherent to friends, family, and the people around us. While the world portrayed is fictional, the characters, events, and setting (heavily informed by the rich communities, histories, and cultures of Rhode Island and New Jersey) feel tangible and real. With a diverse cast and crew portraying and creating unique characters, HIE is never boring; this podcast will surprise you as it twists and winds through the stori... more

  • Got this recommended to me a few years ago based on a "Podcasts similar to things you listen to..." suggestion, and so glad I did. As others have noted, this is a slow burn mystery with a major emphasis on its characters. The roles feel lived-in and nuanced, not relying on tropes (or when they do, finding ways to make them feel grounded in reality, even when the plot is venturing into less grounded territory). Genuinely stirring performances that get you in the feelings -- the voice acting crew ... more

  • I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I was invited to listen to How It Ends. The premise—a daughter trying to connect with her father through his past, even the parts that predate her—made me assume this would be something soft, reflective, and bittersweet.

    I was not prepared.

    What unfolds instead is a slow-burn, daytime-TV-level drama layered with podcaster-investigator energy, slice-of-life storytelling, and a steady undercurrent of unease and paranoia. This show is slow-roasted goodness... more
