Atmospheric, lots of fascinating yet unsettling archeological discoveries, evocative details, an ever-building dread for the characters as all the kinds of wrongness with the situation unfolds…
Presented as found footage audio, the pacing is excellent, and the voice acting is perfect for each character. I am freaking loving this podcast!
What an addictive conundrum I found.
Hooked after one episode.
Binged all six seasons in a week!
I love it and am headed to listen to their other works now that the conundrum is somewhat understood.
Amazing fun ride! Hurry and get here!
Guys! This is the best show I’ve ever listened to! The creativity, writing and voice acting is incredibly gripping. For a couple in their closet, freaking amazing! I’ve binged everything and it’s all fantastic! If I wasn’t poor I’d give them all my money. Keep it up! Y’all are a godsend to my psyche.
I was absolutely glued to this podcast until the current season with Goshawk. 22 minutes per show, 5 of which are commercials, and the plot has barely advanced after nine episodes, 2 weeks apart. I swear one whole episode was devoted to drying off someone’s wet socks. It doesn’t feel akin to the mythology of the previous seasons and there’s nearly no action happening on the part of the families that are collaborating with the weird alien entities. I think maybe the switch from found footage to regular narrative didn’t suit the podcast, and the new characters are not ones listeners are invested in. I hope we see a return to the tense, exciting world of former seasons.
SEASON 6 - idk if I’m just stupid, or what, but I’ve listened to season 6 three times now, and still can’t follow anything that’s going on with “the family”. It’s really difficult to follow the conversations had between all of the family members, and it’s not obvious at all how the family is connected to anything else going on in the story until several episodes in. It also doesn’t help that season 5 ended so long ago. Idk how listeners can be expected to pick the series back up and remember everything that’s happened leading up to season 6. While I’d still give this series 4 stars overall, I can’t give season 6 anymore than 3 stars.
* update* - subtracted a star because posting a “summer 2022” update as S6, E1 is really misleading. I’ve been waiting almost an entire year since that posting for the show to return 😒
I honestly think this podcast has to be one of the best, if not the best, audio drama/thriller series on here. Audio is phenomenal as well, and the narration is the best I’ve come across. You have to listen to this!!
How is everyone talking about Graham’s voice which is clearly just an accent and not the fact that Nancy Drew is in it? I swear it took me so long to get past that. Great atmosphere, editing, and casting.
So well done; the way the story is told submerges you into the story… and the languages, the translations. I love the way the foreign language fades out as the English translation comes in. Each story is so well wound together… so well written… not to mention how well they are performed! Bravo!
This is a fantastic production and performance. My daughter and I sit for hours on the porch, glued to each and every word. I’m definitely hooked! This, I gladly give a five star review.
It’s just… that good!
I absolutely adore this show so far. I saw alot of folks giving Peter Lewis grief over his voice acting but I love it! I always get excited when he’s on The Nosleep Podcast! So happy to have found more work of his. This show can be a tad bit slow for me at times but the build up is also great! It does what it’s meant to. I immediately started telling my friends and family about this podcast after binging 2 seasons at work. The horror is just *chef’s kiss*!
Disappointed in the inconsistent episode uploads. The last one was posted Jan 9. Now it’s Jan 22. I prefer to binge listen. I can’t even look forward to weekly episodes with this podcast. I can always count on the Morbid podcast to post. I suggest and ask you consistently upload episodes.
While the concept of this podcast is interesting, I cannot get passed the first season with Graham’s voice, so robotic and uninteresting. Then there is the constant asking for coffee to avoid a conversation or to ignore someone. The script for some actors is also annoying too, like the medical person who is not really listening to their injured patient, and telling them to calm down when said patient is calm (in terms of the voice acting). I am sure there are some who do not mind it all this, but to me this podcast not worth my time.
I really enjoyed this show at the start. A lot of voice actors I’m familiar with. Likable characters and an interesting plot. But after season 2 if started becoming less interesting. A group of less interesting characters. A whole overarching plot with the narrator, with who I found to be rather annoying as a character. Her role seemed rather ridiculous and honestly would have preferred that part altered or omitted. Rather bummed because initially I war really engaged and now it’s to the point I’m an episode into season six and I just don’t even want to listen anymore. 5 stars for Peter though. Always a joy to hear his voice
I am loving this podcast. I don’t normally listen to scripted podcasts but really got into this one. It’s comforting for some reason too. I think it’s all the ambient background noises they use and the actors’ voices are good.
This podcast is one of my all time favorites! The story is intriguing, the acting is brilliant, loved the characters. Just give it a chance. You won’t regret it.
Lots of talent with excellent execution. I am returning to it, starting from the beginning. One of the greatest podcast audio dramas you can find. Mystery, drama, suspense, horror.
The sound is great, the story is captivating, it is exciting and kinda scary. So so good. I know that season 6 is the final one, but oh I wish it could go on forever. Thank you to Fool and Scholar for all of your hard work; I hope this show gets picked up and turned into a movie or TV series. Such talented storytelling!
I guess it’s a good story, maybe part “The Thing” and part “The Village”. I wasn’t able to get past the annoying Karina she just seemed to whine a lot and the messages she was recording to her boyfriend uugh, she’s one of those women that all she talks about is their impending wedding. Then there’s Graham he’s just as annoying he’s a cross between Captain Kirk and Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry.
I wanted whatever was going to happen to get them first so I didn’t have to hear those 2 anymore.
I seriously can’t get past season one
It is 4am and I just finished listening to Season 1. This is not a bedtime story for the faint of heart. With notes of Cthulhu and undertones of The Thing; this is horror in polar ice. Some strange paranormal or cryptid or alien civilization element, I don’t know what. The cast is very good and the story is very suspenseful. I was riveted, and I enjoyed it
I love this podcast. It has everything—well
written story, good sound design, good actors/acting, and a creepy/scary mystery. I was constantly on the edge of my seat. I was all in listening and could not wait to find out what happened. The narration part was odd to me at first, but it all makes sense at the end of S2 with an amazing OMG moment. I do not re-listen to podcasts because I listen to so many, but this is one of two podcasts that are on my re-listen list. I cannot get enough of The White Vault!
Fool and Scholar makes great content and I cannot wait to hear more stories from them. I’m not sure they can top The White Vault because this is one of the best podcasts for audio drama in existence.
So I’m normally a book guy. Love audible and try as I might, I’ve never been able to get into the hole podcasts thing despite many attempts until now. I heard about this series from a YouTube channel called Scary Interesting.
I stumbled across this about 3 years ago and can’t get enough of it. My friend and I save up episodes and then listen to them on long road trips when we head out of Anchorage to go camping. Maybe it’s because we live in Alaska, but it’s easy to get absorbed in the story of being in a remote place where “travel is not advised” and you are lucky if you can make it out alive. Neither one of us are big horror fans, but beytween the voice acting and the slowly unfolding story that hooks you, this is our absolute favorite podcast.
The first season was good. If you can make it past the Keanu Reeves trying to sound like Clint Eastwood robotic voice that is Grahams you’ll be ok😂 Then I found myself just fast forwarding a bunch through it. We get it. They all document their “findings” or record what’s going on, but the narrator’s voice is getting old with “the following is……” or “this part of the audio….” It probably wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t just robotically reading from a script but Just play it through we get the gist of what’s going on.
I liked all of the acting but Graham’s voice is weird. I kept seeing Dirty Harry with every line he said. Other than that, the story kept me entertained.
This is a podcast that truly tickles the back of the neck; something watching and just out of sight, or just one's imginaation? This is a visceral journey with characters you truly feel for and are vididly in your midn's eye. This is not a podcast to miss. A total powerhouse from beginning to end.
This series is so well done. It’s smart, enthralling, and suspenseful! I binged this in record time. Can’t recommend this one enough if you like a good creepy story.
I think this was the first horror podcast that genuinely scared me whileI listened (twice btw!) That’s all thanks to cool found footage presentation, stellar sound design and voice acting (a few favorite from the NoSleep Podcast are here too!). Loved it to bits
I try to pace myself so I won’t finish so quickly. Season one is so good I’ve listened to it several times. The voice acting is great and the writing is phenomenal!
