“Seems to me that Nordic Larp solved all these problems 20 yrs ago. Diana Jones winners and all. Why not an episode on them?
Not your granddad’s larps. 😉”

“I love Imaginary Worlds and look forward to each episode. Whether Eric is covering something that I am familiar with or something that I have never heard of, I know that he’ll cover it with love and respect. I also know that I’ll learn something fun along the way.”

“I normally do not write reviews for podcasts unless they are positive- this podcast has decent subject matter and a good narrative style, but the ad placement is invasive, where they work ads into the show right into content rather than have dedicated breaks. Very obtrusive.”

“Eric, thank you so much for your best episode yet! As an older woman who has lived many lives in many locations with many occupations and many ever-changing groups of friends, this episode spoke directly to me. You made me appreciate both Doctor Who and your insightful podcast even more deeply...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to this podcast for years and am so grateful that I stumbled upon it. The host Eric poses a question or thought about a whole manner of different games, movies, books, etc and brings us along as he discovers why or how different stories come into being. He introduces...”Read full review »

“Loved the episode on the Gothic genre, went places I did not expect but which I found very insightful. I wanted to shout out my personal favourite gothic: Southern Ontario Gothic. Also, Cherie Dimaline’s “Empire of Wild”, which I would call Indigenous Gothic.”

However, I have to go with 4 stars because (saying this as a fellow liberal) there are a lot of liberal tropes at work...”Read full review »

“I’ve been into sci-fi for 45 years, since I was young enough that no responsible parent would have taken me to see 2001 and Star Wars as many times as mine did.
So this podcast was *freaking awesome* for years. It deconstructed sci-fi and fantasy while still celebrating it, and recast the...”Read full review »

“I have listened to and enjoyed almost every episode. Eric is a fantastic host who draws out incredible stories and themes in sci-fi and fantasy. As a sci-fi writer myself, this is required listening for me because of his insights and passion. (Also recognizing Stephanie Billman, his co-producer.)”

Sometimes I think I won’t be interested in a particular episode but I’m usually wrong. To top it off, he just got me to...”Read full review »

“While I don’t listen to every episode and don’t necessarily agree with every point raised, I would still wager that everything Eric Molinsky raises on this podcast has been well thought-out and should at least be considered by anyone who listens.”

“Such an awesome show, ruined by getting way too political.
If you’re looking for podcasts that dive in-depth to fictional worlds, with high production value and just a great listening experience, there are others out there that don’t get bogged down by the personal politics of the host.”
