“I’m relistening to the whole apocalist (so far) again and I’m always struck by how great it is. I love Nella and Raven’s hot takes and—though I try not to get too parasocially attached to podcasters—they sound just like my friends and I do when we’re talking about weird books (something I miss...”Read full review »

“I’m absolutely loving this premise and the presenters Raven and Nella are pure gold! Currently listening to episode 20 and cackling (as a Canadian) about finally getting to be the baddies. I know the ladies were confused as to why the author mentioned Canadians as great fighters, but in WW1...”Read full review »

“The hosts have a great chemistry, and clearly have fun with the project. Additionally, this show makes a great binge listen due to the timeline and changing cultural scenes/times for each novel. Excited for more episodes!”

“I found this podcast and I couldn’t love it more. The hosts Nella and Raven are extremely intelligent and funny and have great chemistry. I love hearing women talk about science fiction, which isn’t super common. I’ve been binging episodes all week.”

“This has been such a delightful find in the last few months. It is such an odd (but delightful) intersection of interests for me. I took a History of the Future: an exploration of utopian literature in college, and this is a great step to the left on that theme. I very much appreciate how...”Read full review »

“I heard about this podcast through song vs song and the premise sounded so specific I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it. However, since listening to the first episode I’ve been hooked - the episodes are incredibly engaging with great banter between Nella and Raven and I come away each time feeling like...”Read full review »

“Reading through every book that takes place during the apocalypse? This has to be an incredibly daunting task and since I’m the type of person who puts down a book if I don’t like it I commend the hosts for sticking with each book until the very end. The analysis of all the books is amazing and I...”Read full review »

“Always entertaining and fun! Nella and Raven play off each other so well, and have certainly saved me from having to read some dreadful books! And might have forced me to read war of the worlds one day😉”

“I love me some apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction, and this podcast feels like it was made just for me. Nella and Raven's merry, friendly presentation style perfectly contrasts the weird, sometimes bitter, often dark subject matter that they've chosen to cover. I also appreciate...”Read full review »

“Nella and Raven take their listeners on a thrilling ride through the best, worst and most morally questionable stories written about apocalypses since the start of the nineteenth century - each novel forming (at least) one episode. Not only do we, as listeners, get to discover the actual stories...”Read full review »

“I’m really enjoying this podcast and it’s definitely made me want to check out some early apocalyptic fiction. I’m normally not into this genre but Nella and Raven have won me around.”

“Love it. Walking through the history of books to end the world, hearing all the crazy nonsense that authors of the 19th century put to paper, and getting to enjoy Nella and Raven's incisive and thoughtful humor about it all the way.”Read full review »

“I've always enjoyed apocalyptic science fiction, so I'm finding this podcast extremely interesting. The hosts get some entertaining banter going to accompany their insightful analysis. Can't wait to get to some of my favorite novels, although that won't be for a while yet since...”Read full review »

“Both the hosts bring knowledge and humour to the table. Enjoyed the Shelley review, and hoping that the podcast stays the course through the 20th century’s wealth of science fiction.”

“Nella and Raven have created something special here. With wit and brilliant insight, they dive into the great cannon of apocalyptic writing. It’s early days, but from the strength of the first episodes, this is definitely going to be a pleasure to dive into weekly.”
