“I have listened to all of Ars Paradoxica 8 times. Since my first time hearing it, I’d struggled to find another audio-drama with the same level of quality and craftsmanship. Every aspect of this one blows every podcast you’ll ever listen to out of the water. I almost regret finding this one...”Read full review »

“Let me tell you, I LOVE sci-fi. Especially time travel. And a lot of time travel in media is more or less the same. Ars Paradoxica is different from any sci-fi I’ve read/seen/listened to. It’s brilliant. You’ll form certain preconceptions based on the summary- “oh ok, a scientist gets stuck in...”Read full review »

“This is the best audio drama I’ve ever listened to. The sound editing, the pacing of the writing, the harsh subject matter contrasting the human emotion…. Such an incredibly layered story. It’s like a delicious sandwich. I think I’ve listened to this about 3 times fully, looking forward to a 4th...”Read full review »

“What a fantastic podcast! Everything about this show is wonderful; from the writing, to the acting, to the creativity and humour. What's not to love? Yes, the story is complex (it's about time travel for god's sake), but that's one of the things that makes it so worthwhile. Plus,...”Read full review »

“I listen to the entire first season of this podcast, and then a huge fan of science-fiction and time travel but this story just never hooked me.
Other than the protagonist, almost all of the characters sounded the same. Including those who were supposed to be 60 year old men. I imagine the...”Read full review »

“The plot was so convoluted it was almost impossible to follow. Maybe it would be possible if every character didn’t sound exactly the same. It was a game of who’s talking now and what’s happening now and when???”

“Sally reminds me of my ex and so love her character, plus she brilliant. I get why they need to fizzle out the technical jargon but for science majors it would be cool To hear. Regardless, the Areas and turns, unexpected plot twists, everything is amazing. The one thing these guys have that other...”Read full review »

“One of the better time travel stories I’ve experienced. While a bit confusing at times, it knows how to handle the complications inherent and irons them out with some truly top-tier character work. A must-listen for sci-fi audiodrama fans.”

“I really wished that we could have gotten a bit more diversity in terms of voice actors (at first I thought it was 1 guy and 1 woman speaking all characters, until there were different actors named in the credits for every character… much to my surprise).
This confused me a lot and made it hard...”Read full review »

“but some of the writing and acting is lacking. Seriously downplays how bad life was for women and minorities in the 1940’s in America, especially jumping from the mid 2010’s, to the point of breaking my suspension of disbelief. You don’t have to browbeat the subject, but pretending like it was...”Read full review »

“First, let’s be clear, this is a time travel drama. I see a lot of comments along the lines of “it doesn’t sound like 1940s.” Because Sally ISN’T from 1940. Le sigh. She can have 2020 values in 1940 because she’s from some unknown point in our future - hence the bleeping.
Also, the numbers and...”Read full review »

“4 episodes in. Just the right amount of comedy and drama. The writing is good as well as the actors!
Edit...
How did I get the name Donnyboy 16000, who assigned that and how did they pick that?
At the end of the episodes, there are numbers recited and a Tulsa weather report. What’s that about?”
