  • Best podcast I've heard in a while

    I was very impressed by this podcast. I wasn't expecting much as it only had 30 something reviews but it's definitely in my top 5 of favorite audio dramas and is probably the best podcast I've heard within the past year! I listen to a ton of audio dramas so that really is a compliment!

  • Absolutely loved it! From the writing to the soundscape and characters, this is one of my absolute favourite audio drama podcasts. Steeped in Appalachian history, lore and horror, with memorable characters taking you on the journey. Highly recommend!

  • Thoroughly enjoyed! The Story is original, well written, and doesn't follow the same old tired Appalachian horror tropes. On top of that, the cast did a phenomenal job of portraying their characters and the production quality is top notch!

  • It's hard to judge The Love Talker. The production value (especially the music) is great, the acting too and setting and story are intriguing. Also good that the story focuses female characters without letting them use polticial correct language on every turn. However, I often found myself drifting off when listening. I think the format of the multiple narrators who narrate their actions as well wasn't the best choice since many of those characters go soon as well.

  • Good horror podcast. However, it really leans on the traumatic storylines in a way that doesn't always feel respectful or necessary for the plot. Dialogue is also a little wonky at times (sounds over edited in a way that doesn't fit with the setting and characters), but otherwise enjoyed this.

  • The first episode is the most unsettling and horrifying thing I ever heard. I noped out, and then I came back, and I'm glad I did, because this story is fantastic. The various characters are vividly painted, great voice acting all around.

  • Very professionally done

    Excellent soundscape and voice acting. Well-written scripts. If you don’t mind body horror, then you will enjoy this supernatural mystery.

  • The writing and sound design transport you straight to the backwoods of Appalachia. The story is told beautifully, even as gut-wrenching as so much of it is to behold. Utterly upsetting, not for the faint of heart, but one of the best audiodramas I've heard. I definitely don't think I'll listen a second time, but I'm glad I did once.
