  • Gripping storytelling, often spooky, yet easy to listen to. Jonny has a soothing voice. I’ve listened to the entire show several times, and it’s always a great experience.

  • Wow a review!

    The best horror podcast. This was the very first horror podcast I ever listened to and I kind of regret it because now I’m trying to find another to fill the hole in my heart but I can’t because it’s the best one!!

  • The original Magnus Archives are hard to rate. If it were for the first seasons and the individual stories then it would be 6 stars. But as the bigger story kicks in, the quality starts to lack. It's still good, but lots of dragged out stuff. I binged the last episodes just to get it over with. The sequel podcast is unnecessary.

Q: What made you want to write an explicitly trans character for The Magnus Protocol? Why will or why won't Alice's trans identity ever be important to the story?

Q: Did you already have ideas brewing for the sequel or for either case files or character arcs? How did you come up with a storyline for The Magnus Protocol?
