“I think the episode length especially at the beginning were a bit too short, but I understand this is a one person production. And for that, the quality was still great! The works built and the kind of vagueness about it all was interesting and kept me hooked. I think some parts about the Network...”Read full review »

“Very short episodes that are made shorter by 1 min of repeating intro that could be over in 10 seconds and a minute of credit to himself at the end!
During the short episodes the narrator frustratingly never gets to the point and the end of the season feels like there were chunks removed and...”Read full review »

“Really wanted to give this a go , but when listening to an 8 min podcast you really want to be able to just listen through. Unfortunately the intros and outros cut into this time and it’s very boring to listen to them on rotation!”

“A neat example of a completed Audio Drama with limited scope. The story justifies the format (log entries) and mostly single voice acting (character is in a solo training period) as consistent parts of the world building without getting caught in its own trap. Plenty of mystery and suspense to...”Read full review »

“2298 takes place in a not-so-distant future. A single narrator show that maintains the mystery of a dystopian world but also vividly critique aspects of the present. It's a deeply captivating sci-fi. The music is also brilliant. Listen and get lost in this world.”Read full review »

“It’s frustrating to have to skip through so much self promotions for the amount of time the story is. The choppiness makes it very hard to follow. Also the amount of repetition in the intro and outro is literally painful, as someone with auditory sensory issues. Please make a super cut, it would...”Read full review »

“AR does a good job developing the story and is good as a story teller. The one big complaint is how the shows flow. It seems he trying to keep all shows under 10 minutes even when the journal logs should be together. Cutting multiple days and logs into 3-5 shows makes it less interesting and...”Read full review »

“Fantastic sound design and acting. A very interesting premise (very relevant) but I found that cheeky ending to be contempuous and fly in the face of all the ground work done before. It felt like it came out of nowhere and forced a cameo to ride on the popularity of another show.”

A few...”Read full review »

But is it though?

There are so many layers to the story and how number 24 manages to squeeze in so much drama, story, suspense and intrigue into short 8 minute episodes is amazing.”
