Audible5SassyUnited States3 years ago I love this podcast - both seasons. I hope more seasons are in the works.The story lines are quirky and there is great acting by the cast. There are so many funny lines written into secondary lines and said under characters breath that just put a cherry on top of the romp that these stories are.

Audible5AmyUnited States3 years ago - Loved season 1

Apple Podcasts1aklap1United States3 years ago - Fantastic!
Humorous and clever!! Absolutely love the cast and story line. Just the right amount of thrilling for me. Loving the listen so far 👍👏🥰
Apple Podcasts5LcancUnited States3 years ago Love love love this podcast. I've always loved the idea of using the podcasting platform for "theater of the mind." Very throwback and yet very today. The cast of this show can't be beat. Love Jane Lynch as the narrator. It also feels a little "murders in the building" which I also like.
Another podcast I discovered is called Pat Novak 4 Hire 2023. It's a modernish reimagining of an old 40's detective show. If you like this show I think you'll like Pat too. I don't know if they allow links in t... more
Podchaser43 years agovin.montello- Brilliant, Hilarious,
This show is so good, loved every second! The world is chock-full of interesting characters, enriching sound design, witty dialogue, the whole you-name-it for an entertaining listen.
The world building in both seasons is very meticioulus and unique. From following an overbearing landlord to a crazed kidnapper, both stories are told with their own eccentrics and voice. The paths unraveling such crime has been nothing short of an adventure. It’s clear that lots of talent and passion is sculpting ... more

Audible4Laura BonneauUnited States4 years ago - Hilarious!
This is such a funny mystery. There’s amazing voice work, the Jane Lynch narration takes it up another notch. If you like Only Murders in the Building I think this would be up your alley. I wish they’d make another season!
