“Love these stories. So much content can’t be listened to by all audiences now. They often have very adult themes that some people may not be comfortable with. This reminds me of how Doctor Who started. Anyone could sit and watch it and it was just good science fiction without an agenda. It lovely...”Read full review »

“For a bunch of people that live in the USA’s hat, you do a really good podcast. This podcast could loosely be categorized as sci-fi, and most stories would fit that broad description. Most of the shows are stand-alone, yet some contain characters that exist from show to show. As a Canadian...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast, and there’s a genius at work within it.
I listen to just about every story generated Sci Fi podcast on the net, and there are many good ones, but this one is consistently great, while others are hit and miss.
Let me repeat...real genius. Not every story is perfect, but...”Read full review »

“Too many ...blbbblll bbbblbbblbblbb “signal salad tossings” for this audiophile, but good try.
Audio is garbled badly every 10 sec or so ... making stories unintelligable ...”

“They can vary in length and quality, BUT if you are looking for a story podcast that will consistently treat you right and not disappoint, this is it. I LOVE the feeling behind this podcast. It is utterly FREE of the ironic snarkiness that seems to be de rigur in all the others.”

“I like the work of Alan V Hare for easy listening, many evolve up to a nice twist in the story telling, nicely done.
I see a hickup in the Apple Podcast feed, the website is 2 Stories ahead.”

“I recently met Makeshift Story’s producer—Vern Hume AKA Alan V. Hare—and he talked about how podcasting is bringing back the golden age of radio—a time and a place where the listener was called upon to use their imagination when listening. I couldn’t agree more and I had forgotten how great that...”Read full review »

“What an incredible collection of creativity! You can dip in for short stories, just long enough and definitely engaging enough to entertain you through a chore or a walk, or you can envelop yourself in one of the serials for a deeper experience. Great voicing, too!”

“This podcast is't easy to put into a specific genre though it tends toward Sci-Fi which is great by me. I have listened for years and I can say that they have good stories that are engaging and silghtly different from other genre podcasts. Listen, you won't be sorry, I honestly can't...”Read full review »

“If you are interested in Speculative Fiction, you need to listen to Makeshift Stories. With 90 minute stories now available, the series paints a picture of the future and the near now that challenge pre-conceptions and describes alternative futures that offer hope in some cases and despair in...”Read full review »

Some episodes have 3 generations contributing to the making of a series. The variety of voices makes these stories very entertaining. My favourite characters are ...”Read full review »

“Very good stories marred by one small area. They need to be read by a variety of voices. The voice reading them is precise and clear. Almost too precise and clear, the way someone speaking English as a second language might enunciate. That said, the style detracts from any passion there may be in...”Read full review »

“This package of stories brings you around the universe and back. While it is often strange and has it's moments of over the topness. All and all the stories are fun and entertaining. I enjoy being brought out of my world into theirs for any where from 10-30 mins. Not amazing but good enough!”Read full review »

“After randomly picking a few stories here to listen to, they vary greatly in length and quality. Some are sub- 10 minutes, while others are over 30. Some are pretty straightforward and fairly interesting, others are confusing and don't really seem to "go anywhere". Tough to make a...”Read full review »
