I know this is technically a horror podcast, but its always been a comfort. Mx. Wellman's voice and writing style fits the story perfectly. I was hooked into the story right away and quickly fell in love with the characters. The Hallowoods is a spooky place that is protective of its...Read full review »

I cannot stress how much I love the absolute masterpiece of a podcast that is Hello from the Hallowoods. Brilliant storytelling with (literally and figuratively) fantastic imagery. You could just listen for the imagery. But what’s more is that there’s a large cast of diverse characters and...Read full review »

At first you’re going to be confused. Why are there so many characters, and why does the story jump to so many random people all the time? But then you get invested. You realize that their stories start to interconnect. People meet, become friends, become enemies, and you get to know all of them...Read full review »

I am utterly, and successfully; entrapped, ensnared, and entranced by this show. I have the need to consume all available media at once. I adore this show. (Update: I am not sure why it is saying that my review is one star but I rate this show 5 stars !! This rating -the negative one- does not...Read full review »

Monotonous, newscast-style acting kills the story. I can’t listen to a guy who only has one tone of voice, even if it’s supposed to be a spooky voice.

This audio drama is a big comfort to me. I listen when I m going to sleep and it’s just wonderful. The world building, the characters, the sound , the general vibe , all wonderful. They all feel so Alive.

The philosophy of this podcast is absolutely gorgeous. It is so brilliantly delivered and genuinely provoked thought about my life and relationships in a far kinder light. Although Nikignik voicing everyone is hard to get used to at first, Wellman is extremely skilled with vocal differentiations...Read full review »

Hello from the Hallowoods is more than just a phenomenal podcast—it’s one of the best ongoing stories I’ve ever engaged with. I am constantly pulled deeper by every new episode, and the format enhances the story in every way. Mx. Wellman is incredible, and their wide-range of skills is...Read full review »

I love it so much, the Hallowoods, as much as they are spooky and full of surprises a d challenges to overcome, always welcomes the listener! Love this
Marian_00 via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 12/27/22
I’m honestly not sure if I can quite put into words how much I love this show. The worldbuilding is so expansive and the future possibilities are dizzying. I love the horror elements but the show has so much heart and it is impossible to listen without forming deep emotional attachments to the...Read full review »

Compelling, funny, strangely comforting and sweet, this strange horror story will make you feel at home
emmielinde via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 12/23/22
I had no idea what to expect going in I just knew it was popular among people who enjoyed other podcasts I listened to and oh man oh boy was this podcast fantastic. It’s something like hearing a story you loved very much when you were a little kid. It’s fantastical and caring and monstrous and so...Read full review »
ArtCanada24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/21/22
honestly one of my favourite fiction podcasts. people and the people-adjacent living and building community and struggling against fathomless entities and a sinister mega-corp in a magical post-apocalypse. at first i was a little unsure of a story that followed so many seemingly unconnected...Read full review »
magpieethics via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/15/22
I really love how they incorporate a wide variety of characters who have a wide variety of genders, sexualities , and personalities without it feeling forced. I’m only on the first season so my review might update, but this is easily one of the most bingeable podcast I’ve listened to in a while....Read full review »
Altheawkward via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/22
This show is the perfect example of what good horror should be. I feel uncomfortable and spooked but I also love the monster and feel a connection to the story. The episode artwork is also gorgeous

frog in a crown via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/22
I really started listening to this podcast right at the beginning of 2021. And I’ve only recently been caught up to having to wait for new episodes. It’s been gripping and interesting and I look forward to each episode. A great listen.
Bea Roy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/21/22
The writing is so good, and I love how relatable the characters tend to be, and the representation for the different kinds of people & relationships. The philosophy is impactful and doesn't feel condescending or fortune-cookie, and the world building is on point.Read full review »
neonaberration via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/22
Hopeful horror with fairy-tale, post- apocalypse, capitalist environmental dystopia vibes. In spirit it's sorta a mashup of Over The Garden Wall (spooky undead forest) and Welcome to Night Vale (narrator's cadence reminded me of Cecil's in the beginning) while being distinct from...Read full review »

And then I dove head first into The Hallowoods!
Claire Scare via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/22
This podcast brings you into a dream world that is a perfect escape from the stress of daily life. The prose of the stories are ethereal and captivating, and populated with intriguing characters. I would recommend to any listener who loves horror and/or fantasy content
cr@bme@t via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/05/22
This podcast has the atmosphere of sneaking into a haunted house with your friends to eat chips, but with more sophistication. The tongue-in-cheek is definitely there, don’t get me wrong. I was surprised to get laughs in between the chills. The cadence of the narration, coupled with the evocative...Read full review »
Potato Lady Bex via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/21
This is one of my favorite podcasts. The opening is iconic. The reoccurring themes of compassion and friendship, juxtaposed against the apocalyptic misery of the Hallowoods is beautiful and touching. Highly recommended.
Mark Cuckerberg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/21
This is such a good story! Creepy and touching as well as constantly intriguing. Thank you for sharing this creation with us!
musiccrit. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/21
I worry I shouldn’t, but I do. This show has a world that will wrap you up. The characters are varied, diverse and distinct, and the complex interpersonal dynamics at play really bring this show to life.
maybeweds via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/20/21
A beautiful blend of horrific fantastical imagery, eldritch philosophical musings, and textured character interactions, this story is masterfully created. The fact that (nearly) all characters are voiced by the same person, yet have their own distinct voices is incredibly impressive, and it gives...Read full review »

This is such a lovely show filled with a lovely bunch of queer kids and adults and it's so heartwarming to listen to.

I am so hooked on this narrators voice. I was nervous going in because, for me, no matter how good the story the narrators voice makes or breaks it. I know others have also mentioned it but if youre a fan of The Magnus Archives you'll find your next podcast fixation here!Read full review »

I love this podcast so much!! The characters are very interesting, and the writing is PHENOMENAL. There’s so much representation, and if you enjoy Welcome to Night Vale or The Magnus Archives, you won’t regret listening to this.

Not only is the writing AMAZING- I **love** the characters. I am obsessed and you should enjoy this podcast too!
That one gamer! !!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/21
I’m only on episode eight but the show has been great so far, I love listening to all the different stories slowly coming together to make something more concrete and watching them weave together. Percy and Diggory are amazing and I love Jonah’s story.

Really Trish? via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/21
It is amazing with how many characters it has how you learn to care about each one of them. The world is strange in the kind of “gravity falls/over wall” way. With just a pinch of sci-if. The voice acting is really good considering it’s just narrated by one person, but manages to give each...Read full review »

The way the stories all weave together is absolutely beautiful, I’m so excited to see where it’s going! I love all the characters so much, and all the different queer representations makes me so happy- I feel like I’ve found a home in the Hallowoods😁❤️❤️

Great writing, engaging plot, a spooky world you want to return to over and over.
airportphilosopher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/21
Every episode is such a treat, I’ve fallen in love with this cast and I’m eager to learn more about their stories! The writing is so well crafted and beautiful, not to mention the plethora of lgbtq characters! Seeing such wonderful representation makes me so happy, I can’t wait to keep listening!

Honest to god I love this damn podcast in its entirey- Its so GOOD in every way, the story is unwinding slowly and I’m finding myself enthralled by it even though its almost midnight and I have work tomorrow.

This podcast is like Welcome To Night Vale's plot driven and moodier 2nd cousin. In the beginning it is a pleasantly creepy, if not confusing ride, but once you listen to a few episodes and start to put the pieces together you'll only enjoy it more. I am very impressed with Wellman's...Read full review »

I’ve only listened to one episode and I love the narration style so much. The music is beautiful, haunting and warm in equal measure.

If you love Welcome to Nightvale, or the Magnus Archives, this is another one you’ll probably love.

Recently started listening to this and it is great! Very creepy moments and great descriptions of cool unique characters. Somehow throughout all of that the transitions are my favourite parts. Unique and characterful while keeping you immersed in the world. Definitely check it out!
