Great listen
I listen to a lot of different podcasts which have different degrees of production. Some of them are big media companies with a lot of sound effects and huge/famous casts and such and those are fine but on other occasions I like podcasts that are more low-key. When I say that haunted is kind of an old-school story I don’t mean that negatively it has the feel of an old-time radio program where the sound effects are done (at least in my mind) by the cast sitting there with a pair of shoes simulating someone walking away or slamming a door. It’s quaint in a good way. I also like the story. A lot of times in horror/sci-fi a complex story is fun but then unravels because it’s so complicated (Rabbits, Tannis, etc. come to mind) but this story balances the characters and the story manages to not get too convoluted so it holds up at least as of this writing. Also, by enlarge, the content creators have managed to keep their own personal issues and causes out of the story. Most casters are not able to do this and awkwardly jammin whatever their causes which alien portions of the show (pro Hamas/pro Israel somehow working its way into a horror podcast for example) but instead they just focus on the story, as they should. I get the sense that there’s a lot of pressure emoji podcasts to virtue signal using their story which is a bit of a poison pill since it’s most likely going to impress a small minority but most people will either be offended or get annoyed thatan irrelevant topic has been awkwardly bolted on where it doesn’t belong. Kudos for haunted resisting the surge and staying focused on the story almost exclusively. Great job.

I thought it started off good, been then saw a difference after a few episodes as the actors and script settled in and found their stride. Interesting episodes—I keep trying to fit in one more...Read full review »

Who DOESN’t love a little Dry Humour with their Autopsies, right? Found this Gem via #AudioDramaSunday on Twitter. The characters are well played, the Sound Design is great and “James’s one liners” are hilarious. I’ve listened to S1 “THE SIGNAL” & just started S2. Looking forward to the...Read full review »
