- I agree
The Australian accent is not good (I’m also an Aussie)

Australia2 years ago - Pretty good
I’m a space lover so this is really interesting to me and I can confirm that some things are real it’s not all fiction
Apple Podcasts5Mi1001234Australia3 years ago Short, but very enjoyable alternate history drama. Very good production and voice acting.
Podchaser43 years agopodcastvice- Great but...
Interesting and engaging narrative. However, some of the accents are terrible - the Aussie one in particular is stereotypical and uses idiom I have never heard before (and I’m an Aussie!)
Apple Podcasts4NSWTeacherAustralia5 years ago - Obsessed
So fascinating and engrossing, I desperately wish there were more

United States6 years ago - Unable to suspend disbelief
While the production is top shelf, the story is so ridiculously far fetched that I couldn't possibly suspend disbelief enough to truly enjoy it.
Apple Podcasts2DnapantsUnited States9 years ago - Love it
Little bit podcast .. Little bit old radio play .. Little bit historical revisionism .. Completely fascinating. Soyuz Files is an amazing shot at a fictional "real story" with great production. Can't wait for wha's next from the West.
Apple Podcasts5nfrnzUnited States10 years ago - Wonderful
Come for the interesting historical hypothetical, stay for the gripping political thriller it seamlessly morphs into. Wonderful listen. I hope to see more soon!
