Amazingly well-written, the narrator's soft voice and slight accent are intriguing and captivating just enough not to cause any distractions. Furthermore, each scenario is vividly described in great detail, allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in the story without any distractions.Read full review »

As a writer, I am in love with the descriptions used to paint a mental image of this dark tale. Still in Chapter 1 but it’s great so far despite a few nuances 😊

Excellent audio which is great because most of the time I can hardly hear what is being said. Also, great detailed descriptions of events and expalanations. I really love they way he weaves the story together and also the breaks from live action to narration of story…. Highly recommend for all...Read full review »

If you like fantasy esp dark fantasy, this is a must. I listen to it on my commutes and I find myself not wanting to get out of the car because I want to see what happens next. Great writing, voice acting, music, and ambiance. I hope they keep producing content.

It took me a few episodes, but I’m glad I stuck with it. Really enjoyed listening to the first season. It has kept me entertained as I’m driving for work. Must be a huge amount of work to produce these shows. So many thanks.

This show is awesome! The world he’s created, the characters, the story...everything is so rich and engrossing. I was hooked since the first episode.

Started listening to this on my trips to and from work, love the story and the audio immensely. Great voice acting and story weaving
QuickeSilver via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/22
Started listening to have a story to listen to at work did not expect to get as sucked in and involved with the characters and story.
M.E.Edwards via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/15/22
I listened to 4.5 episodes. I think it was interesting. The audio mix however was terrible. “Background” music would flood out dialogue, the voice processing of some characters makes them basically intelligible. This is with earbuds even!
Fuzzybof via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/21
Dark, exciting,sound effects are awesome who could ask for anything more. I am on the edge of my seat hungry for what comes next.

Not usually my thing but this is a really great podcast, very gripping and imaginative, leaves you wanting to hear more without fail every time , would highly recommend to anyone looking to get into a new podcast!
Cheery Deery via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/23/21
Still listening to the first chapter and i am hooked. This is a well written and read/voiced story. It has the vibe of an epic tale and could be the next Lord of the Rings tale! Looking forward to spending time listening to this yarn unfold.
Bull910 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/21
Thank you for creating a vivid and visceral fantasy world unique from the tropey themes reminiscent of the eroded foundations of early fantasy fiction. Although I have the highest regard to the early pioneers of this genera, Tolkien, Howard, and Lieber, the idea of another clutch of haughty...Read full review »

Not usually my thing but really enjoy the story. I was hooked after the second episode and listened through the first season in one day! Can’t wait to see what’s next
d16bak718sbsjx via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/11/21
I found this as I embarked on a podcast search for dark fantasy stories and have been very impressed. The stories are compelling, the fighting brutal and descriptive, the characters both good and evil are well thought out. Looking forward to see where this goes!
UtterNewbie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/21
I recently discovered this podcast, and I cannot stop listening! The quality of the production is incredibly high, and the story is really engrossing. The characters (good guys and bad guys) are all very well developed and interesting. The world is incredibly detailed and deep. I cannot recommend...Read full review »

I was looking for a story based, audio drama type fantasy podcast and was excited to find this one. After listening for the first time, I couldn’t wait to listen to the entire thing. I love the setting, characters, and most of all the world building involved. Also, the sounds and narration are...Read full review »

Great storytelling/world building. The music, voice acting and sound effects are perfect, this has such a rich and dark feel to it. Keep up the good work!

If you like dark fantasy with great storytelling and acting - this is for you!!! Can’t believe I found something so good during this pandemic.
Shar 💜 bear via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/20
The story is great, I appreciate all the effort that went into the voice acting, music, and sound effects. The world created around the narrative is vast and imaginative. A lot of thought went into this

I’m really loving this story & the world that has been built. The narration & sound effects have gotten better & better as I’ve continued listening. Keep up the great work!
Th3Drag0nR3b0rn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/19
The tales of Aethuran and beyond lie between two distinct worlds. One, storied and expansive--the well-narrated audiobook. The other, immediate and evocative, the well-acted audiodrama. Aethuran is the tale of a lone author and his doppleganger from a nearby world, a lone audiodrama actor. As the...Read full review »

The writing and production on this show is incredible and the voice work is fantastic - and then you find out that Phil is a one-man band and you can help but be impressed! Given the level of world building and the story, it’s nearly impossible to stop listening. Love it!
Queen Nerd Jess via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/19
This podcast has everything I’d been searching for in a fantasy show,after episode 5 I was blown away how good the story and character interaction was, and how much the quality improves . My favourite part was I could not guess what was coming next and the originality of the setting. If you like...Read full review »
Jeremy Ben via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/28/19
It’s hard to find audio dramas that are well told and written stories in the fantasy genre especially. Aethuran hits every target I had. It’s a gripping story, the characters are well developed, the story weaves through multiple characters as they all coalesce and it pulls no punches when it...Read full review »
Kelthazar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/19
this is simply the best fantasy audio iv ever listened to. im talking lord of the rings style engagment. the writting sound and story is all top level stuff. if you like dark fantasy give this a go, if you dont like the first prolog skip to the first episode but imo its all 5 star stuff!
aidans audio review via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/15/19
Wow. I am incredibly impressed by what P.D. Usher has done here. The sole writer, actor, and producer of this audio drama project shows that he is a major force to be reckoned with on many levels. The writing is classic epic/dark fantasy, the story is compelling, and most of all, the narration is...Read full review »
SarahRheaWerner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/19
The mythology of Aethuran runs deep and unfolds itself over the full course of the story, revealing religious, folkloric, and fantastical inspirations. Superficially, it is an epic fantasy pitting good against evil but, in truth, passionately delves into a dark world driven by an ensemble of...Read full review »
s. spelly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/19
This is one of those audios that really benfits from listening with turning the lights off, lighting a few candles, and maybe something warm to drink to keep the chills of the story at bay. Usher is an excellent narrator, and being the sole voice in this work in no way hinders it. The ominous...Read full review »
Strider Leigh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/19
Finally, an audio drama that is epic/dark fantasy AND is actually good. This one hits like a hammer. What a great show!
Spoonatuna via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/19
We learned about Dark Sage: Aethuran when researching new podcasts for Podcast Junkie and were amazed by the quality of the sound scape and depth to the story. This is an incredible audio drama set in a dark fantasy world that is binge worthy. - Podcast Junkie
Darkklegend via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/19
Not generally an audio-drama person, but the creativity and vision that’s been put into this is immediately apparent. Excited to see where it goes!
JBlakeManor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/18
This audio drama is exactly what I’d been hoping to find. Great world building, compelling characters, crisp yet detailed writing and good voice acting - unbelievable that’s it’s a one person endeavor. The world of Aethuran is dark and brutal, you’re gonna love it.
Sir d'Aubigny via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/18
It's way cool, it's not even one of the genres I usually like, but give it a listen (and give it a few minutes to warm up) and it's much, much more interesting than a lot of other podcasted epics out there. I am finding it very hard to pull myself away from it... the creator seems to...Read full review »

If you’re into dark, fictional podcasts then look no further. Such a great story, well told and thoughtfully created. Love this!
Naaaaaattttrou via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/14/18
Not only is the story well written, but even the narration is just like a professionally published work. Immediately the world is painted vividly without over describing. The music also helps deliver imagery as the rich lore of Aethuran unfolds. When there are sounds, they fit well and the...Read full review »
