What I would give to be able to listen to this podcast for the first time all over again.
The Magnus Archives was the first podcast I ever listened to, and to this day it is still my favourite. Absolutely love the writing, acting and overall plot. Honestly the reason I got into Rusty Quill podcasts.
If you haven't listened to it yet, you need to.
While it is a bit of a slow burn at first, it's totally worth the wait, and it's one of the rare instances where there are no plot holes. All of your questions will be answered and no character is left in the dread "bin of forgotten possibilities", which is a delightful treat.
Truly a fantastic experience all around. <3
I’m 20 episodes in and enjoy the stories and readings immensely. The recording quality is wanting. The recording is low and whispery at times, so if there is anything going on around you, you may miss parts of the story. This is a frustration that you may not experience, but I listen when I’m out and about working. The stories are worth it and the narrator does an excellent job setting the mood. I suggest this podcast to anyone who loves a creepy tale. Have a good set of noise canceling headpho... more
I have never been interested in podcasts and was originally turned off when I realized this was one. Still, I checked out the first episode and was immediately hooked. I use every second of free time I have to listen to this podcast and I’m absolutely in love with the characters and storytelling. I was promised queer romance and horror and was given nothing less. Is you have a fear I guarantee you that their is an episode targeting it, ready to make you anxious. 10000/5 stars, would and will lis... more
