  • Cringy preaching spoils the longwinded imagination drift that serves for entertainment. Imagine religious, government-sponsored radio doing paint-by-numbers PSA content, and fielding creative people to side-eye each other and squeak out a nervous laugh under skin-tight creative constraints.

  • Great show

    An actual play that mostly uses game mechanics as improv cues for enjoyable audio dramas. Interesting and developed characters, original plots, great production quality.

    Really been enjoying the Regency stories.

  • High quality content!

    I have been listening to this podcast for a while and the content is great. The Miskatonic Repository Scenarios featured are very interesting and the Cast and Keepers do a great job making the stories come alive. The interviews are very insightful and I have taken some written notes of the advice shared in them. Thank you for such an entertaining podcast!

  • Call of Cthulhu actual play OUTSTANDING!

    This podcast has a real charm and makes podcasting horror not only scary, but really fun too.

    Newman takes investigators through cosmic horrors from all kinds of writers in the genre.

    Can’t recommend it enough. They also have some big names from Cthulhu join them at the table. 🤩

    Loved Mike Mason’s burgundy bow tie! 😂
