Reviews For Wrong Station

Really great podcast. With respect, the outro viola is not unique, original, or spooky. It’s inexcusably atonal and lessens the rich vibes of the otherwise well-crafted production.

“The Hunting of the Lath Worm”should be a film… or maybe that would ruin it… Idk. 3 Cheers 🥂 and a standing ovation from yours truly. Thank you Rayanne

Does anyone else hear the “k” that the narrator exchanges for words ending in “g”?! i.e. “going” becomes “goinK”!

Please actually update your website to include warnings. If you can’t do that, just remove the content warning link from your show notes. Not a fan of randomly encountering cat death (episode “Plant Mom.”)

My new favorite horror podcast. So fun! Really enjoy the wide variety of horror and the stories are not predictable. Thank you!

These guys are great! The horror stories are not only as creepy as they should be, they are also so much more interesting and well written than any other podcast that I have come across. The best part is the humor. Whether it is a comedic story, or just humor sprinkled in to a horror story, it can be very funny. I’ve been the guy walking my dog while listening with earbuds suddenly laughing out loud, making other pedestrians uncomfortable enough to move to the other side of the street. I am amazed with the speed and volume of work that they are able to crank out. Keep up the good work!

Highbrow horror. Stories with wit and often a dollop of dark humor. Original plot lines. I mean, take The Jannisary for example. A story from a woman’s POV of a failed date with a man who, as it ends up, is a lonely 500 year-old jannisary vampire, for whom consummation of the date would have been feeding on her had he not mustered up forbearance. Love it.

then squeezes and squeezes into a bitter little pill that I loved.

Whoever it was, I gotta say thanks

Narrator has a gorgeous expressive voice. Stories are mostly fantastic, the ones I don’t like I simply skip. Five stars! 👍👍

The host/narrator does to good of a job at sounding like a complete jerk and scum. id not let my niece or nephews hear this sick voice and im sure he will laugh about that. stay away.

I loved this show UNTIL they did this self righteous story called Nithing. I don’t feel bad for eating meat. You aren’t going to change it. Most of us enjoy meat! How lame this story is!!

Great stories that are creepy and uncanny. I’ve tried so many scary story podcasts but they all just are kinda… lame. This one actually delivers if you’re looking for a slow burn vibe rather than Paranormal Activity.

Over educated liberals are at their best when prone to flights of fantasy.

Thank y’all for this talented diversion from our daily drag! Always so very entertaining 🙌

His voice is so rich and intoxicating. I cook, I clean, I sleep, I do anything and I’m most likely listening to this podcast. I also listen to podcast to feel less alone, kind of as if there was someone speaking to me.

This show is great. The narration is rich, the audio is crisp, the themes are widespread, even for an anthology. I have listened to the first few seasons in a few days. A note to the narrator: Did you know in “Flynn’s,” in the credits, you said the music was arranged for the viola and performed by “Viola Schmidt”?

If you’re a fan of single-narrator horror like Knifepoint Horror, you’ll love the concise and effective storytelling of Wrong Station. In a genre that often settles for traumatizing its audience with exploitative material, this show is dark but never mean. There’s a thoughtful playfulness to many of the stories. Through its mischievously unreliable, often interrupted narrators, Wrong Station explores a variety of creepy topics, rarely hitting the same narrative beats twice. Ranging from the grotesque (a man becomes obsessed with the cockroach-ridden crawl space inside his home) to the evocative (a family haunted by inherited trauma across many generations) to the blackly comic (a start-up received a strange box that produces whatever they desire, seemingly without a cost), Wrong Station is consistent and unpredictable. It’s always a joy to see what they’ll come up with next.

Maybe one of the narrators has some regional dialect, but I’ve started to notice the way he’ll end D-words with Ts, G-words with Ks, and S-words with something of a hiss. I first noticed it in the episode with the mold. “The whole fridge was coveret in molt,” he said. She flincht, her stomach turnink. “That’s so gross,” she said. I tried tuning it out, changing headphones, playing it at 1.5×, but it’s hard to ignore—especially when it sounds like it’s weirdly intentional, because I’ve heard runnink, going, sayink, drinkink, and singing in one sentence. Another narrrraaaaator likes to reeeeead things in a pohhhhet voice… and by the time the rhyme she finds / has helped her find a metric pace / to read the line as if it is / some-thing that should be read just like / this I have gotten relatively / lost and I don’t quite recall / how the paragraph original / ly started. And sometimes they all read words with odd emphasis or pronunciation, like “settlement” as set-la-mint? The quirks of speech and pro-noun-ciation are just so off-puttinK to me I just can’t relackxs ant enjoy it.

The stories are usually decent, if predictable, but the narration leaves much to be desired. One pronounces every single word ending in “ing” as if it ends with a K; thinking becomes thinkink, happening becomes happenink. It grates. Another reads each story and sounds like Daria’s mother telling ghost stories on their camping trip. It’s hokey and corny and poorly executed. Being free it’s worth your time, I suppose, but…as I said, after a while, it grates.

I sometimes hate that my free time to listen to the wrong station is bedtime. I always set my timer to stop playing before the end of an episode so I can find my way back to the story. Excellent writing and casting, both funny and poignant. Sometimes caustic and crude. Give the group a try. It’s nice to have an array of podcasts in your pocket to fit your moods. Add this one to your queue.

Writing is amazing. The variety in these stories, that as far as I know are all authored by two extremely talented guys, is just remarkable. Never know what you’re in for, but all of them are 100% worth listening to.

The Wrong Station has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts! If you’re a fan of dark humor, Edgar Allan Poe, Vincent Price and The Twilight Zone, you’re sure to enjoy The Wrong Station. The narrator is a terrific voice actor - he makes the audible descriptions vivid in your mind. The emotion, sarcasm, nervousness in his voice, etc. just draws you in deeper into the short story. This podcast is definitely worth a listen while you’re working from home, trudging through traffic, cleaning the house or just enjoying it with a glass of wine. Can’t wait for the next episode!

A fun listen for the strange and unusual type short stories! A definite keeper for the weekly rotation☺️

What a great podcast. Always glad when a new episode drops!

When I hear The wrong station, I still do a head turn. I am in love with the narrator Voices, the person who does intro & most of the podcast are wonderful., There are many podcast to choose from, but The Wrong Station gives you something Extra. something really special as they paint pictures with glorious words. a banquet of descriptions that help me see the story’s so vividly. I want them to be longer is my only wish. Thank you from your Greeneyes fan.

The stories are all pretty good. Very descriptive. But man, the narrator is not great. I hope they get professional voice actors or something in later episodes bc some of the early ones are rough

I love this show. It is the best! Creative and well narrated and spooky. Grill Marks is my favorite and has become an inside joke between me and my husband. Can’t wait for next season. One time I mentioned this show on my furry twitter cause I forgot which account I was on and the official account liked the tweet and I nearly died of embarrassment. Sorry about that, wrong station crew! I love your work!

Has this podcast ended? I hope not.

This is such an excellent series. I love the narrator and has clear vocals. Too many horror podcasts try to go all “cryptkeeper” voice and it really takes away from the stories. These are full impact, gets-you-in-the-gut vignettes, and thank goodness there isn’t a huge amount of screaming or yelling without warning. I love a good mix of horror and wonder and also relief at not being in the shoes of the protagonists. Great work, highly recommended!

I have been searching for close to 4 years trying to find a horror anthology worth listening to. I will be joining their patronage as soon as I can afford it financially.

Love this podcast. The performers and the writing are both top notch. I really appreciate way this show handles sci-fi and body horror, the subtle world building that sends your imagination reeling to fill in the blanks and the less-is-more approach to sound design that lets the quality writing stand on its own. Thanks for everything so far and I can’t wait for the next amazing episode.

I really love this creepy story pod! Binging it at work and I'm going to be sad when I'm fully caught up! If you enjoy horror stories, you'll enjoy this podcast.

Wonderful spooky stories, spoken clearly and precisely. I love this podcast! Many thanks to you creators

Such a well told story!!!

I love a good story, the weirder/creepier the better. This podcast delivers.

Don’t have a lot of words for how fulfilled I am by this content. Incredible writing, production, and audio by a creative team with a very clear moral standing. BLM ✊🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Unlike a large portion of horror stories podcasts, these stories do offer resolution and are not just writers’ exercises in describing settings and little more. Little update after 10 or so more episodes from 2018 I think. I sincerely hope we veer away from the political commentary that so many of the podcasts feel inclined to disseminate. Not why we listen. One name for you after “Come and See.” Francis Collins: headed up the human genome project, which mapped for the first time in our species history our DNA.

The scholarly vocabulary, and clear, calm enunciation are just plain elegant. The wicked, cheerful and creepy plots are unique. This podcast has class and humor. A few of them still linger lonG after I’ve listened. It’s the cream of the crop, the blood on the top. Easily one of the best.

Fantastic show all around. The writing, the acting and production values are all really fantastic. The Canadian Gothic episodes are the real standout for this series, though a lot of the scifi is equally unsettling and creepy, with the same otherworldly vibe as a Beksinski painting. Honestly the only detraction is the screamer in the intro, an annoying jump scare when you’ve just had the volume up to hear the quieter stories.

Personally place this right up there with both “Thirteen” & “Spooked”. Yes, it’s that good.

With its singularly well-crafted and unique horror tales, The Wrong Station is one of the gems of the increasingly saturated horror podcast genre. Where The NoSleep Podcast is decreasing in its writing quality, TWS stands out amongst high-quality podcasts such as Knifepoint Horror and the highly produced Campfire Radio Theatre. It should be far more known and popular.

I really like the podcast. For the most part I find the stories engaging and interesting. I can't help but wonder when listening if the narrator is Liverpudlian like a Beatle.I'm just joking because my stupid accent sounds American but the hard G at the end of every word ending in G reminds me of listening to John Lennon and Paul McCartney talking.

I am always so excited when new episodes come out. The voice acting is amazing. Every story is unique. I don’t know why it’s not more popular. It’s one of the best drama podcast out there!!

The hard G sound at the end of anythinG endinG with “inG” drives me absolutely crazy! Other than that, the narration and stories are great 😬

Fund BLM? Protest? Wow...this host is terrible.

I absolutely love this podcast. I hope all fans of horror audio will give it a shot!

These stories are great. I appreciate how many of these make a twist on the "twist" concept, often taking the stories in directions I do not anticipate. I especially like the stories that use folklore as their starting points, but then explore the folklore in unexpected way, rather than just telling a "dark" version of the original tale.

This would be a great podcast except I cannot get past the narrator pronouncing -ing words w/a “k” (walkink, jumpink) ! It’s so distracting that I can’t listen anymore.
