  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!
