“This well-written, well-acted radio play will keep you listening. The episodes are quick and captivating, and the sound mix could not be better. I could “see” every moment.”

“No movie ever kept me under such tension
Actors just incredible
For me - it’s first time I truly imagined how people in October of 1938, that tuned into CBS, could believe The war of the worlds was real”

“This podcast is by far the best true crime series that I came across. The voice actors all do an excellent job making the story come to life. I never knew this even happened in the 70’s. It was really intriguing.”

“Excellent! I love true crime genre but typically have not listened to re-enactments. Such a fascinating story and a beautiful time piece. Dark yet heartwarming. Feels so close to present day politics (sadly). We need to remember we’re all Americans and fellow men. Love it! Highly recommend!!”

“Really enjoyed this dramatised audio version of a true story. John Hamm is excellent in the lead role and the guy who plays Tony Kiristis (sorry, can’t recall his name) is also great 👍
Brilliant production and not toooo many ads. I would definitely like to listen to more podcasts like this!”

“This is a story that podcasts were made for. I absolutely loved the set up for how this real life event was told. And utilizing radio as a storytelling device within the podcast medium was perfection. The cast lead by Jon Hamm delivers knockout performances and keeps you on the edge of your seat....”Read full review »

“I had never heard of this event. I was very young when it took place, I am a big history buff and never came across this event.
The ending I didn’t much like. It was a tad bit confusing to me. I do encourage all ears to listen to it. It is an excellent tale.”

“The episodes are short but it’s engaging. Actors did a great job. Immersive podcasts are the best. However, the ending is abrupt and anticlimactic. The ending ruined the whole thing. It was a lot of build up to not much at all.”

“This podcast was amazing! I love the old radio shows where one had to use their imagination and the acting was so powerful, imagining the action was easy. I wish they do more. These actors were so passionate in their delivery. No CGI or suspenseful music to drive the story-pure art.”

“Unexpectedly enjoyable. I love good fiction stories and this one is one of the good ones. The voice actors are actually good and I find myself getting lost in the story rather than feeling like I’m being read to. Something that doesn’t happen often with some of the storytelling podcasts.”

“I loved all 8 episodes! I could see it all in my minds eye, Fred’s office, Tony’s home and Dick’s face.
This got me to really understand when my mum would talk about days of sitting around the radio listening to serials.
All of the actors did a fantastic job bringing it all to life. Hats off...”Read full review »

“The closing line of the show is, verbatim: "For me, it took almost three full days of a hostage crisis to realize that America was the biggest hostage of them all."
If that doesn't make your eyes roll straight back into your brain, maybe you will have a satisfying time with this show.”Read full review »

“Over produced, over dramatized. Drawn out waaaay too long. Just watch TV or listen to a book. I hate that all the dinosaur media think they need to ruin the podcast genre. If Jon Hamm’s name isn’t associated with this it never gets made. It never should have. Skip it and find something...”Read full review »

“Compelling story but fell short in my opinion. I enjoy the format. Listen to 1865 if you enjoy the “radio play” format as well.

“I was a freshman in high school and lived right outside of Indianapolis. This was so spot on, especially Tony Kiritsis’s voice. Everyone was absolutely captivated and glued to every news cast, of course everyone had an opinion. I guess it was our first dose of reality TV.”

“This was really more of an old radio serial broadcast, something from a 1930s variety hour. It’s not bad, but if you’re looking for a factual podcast on this incident, this isn’t it. It’s a play on the radio, complete with closing door and footstep sound effects, and melodramatic reading.”
