“I was hooked from the first episode. The writing, the voice acting, the storytelling, the drama, are all part of what makes this podcast great. Harlan Guthrie has crafted a masterpiece of horror, and intrigue.”

“This podcast is so good! When I first found it I just wanted something to listen to on my commute, but after a few episodes I was listening to it practically all the time. The characters are amazing and I love the story and world building so much!”

“I began Malevolent in 2023 during a binge of getting into other horror podcasts. It made me read the King In Yellow and annotate it, it made me create fanart, and it made me cry during certain moments with how much it resonated with me. Harlan Guthrie is a wonderful, creative, passionate, and all...”Read full review »

“This is one of the most captivating, interesting and heart wrenching (in a good way) shows I’ve ever listened to! Characterisation is the most important aspect of any show for me and the creator makes a great job at giving us characters that are loveable, relatable but also human in every way. I...”Read full review »

“Ok so the writing is unmatched. The story is intricate, smart…no sharks jumped. Harland’s VOICES are top tier. The soundscaping is so good, I listen with earphones and I legit jumped MANY times as I felt I was there observing. This is a MASTERCLASS in narrative storytelling not just horror...”Read full review »

I started this series less than a week before writing this review, and in that time I have caught up and become devastated that there isn’t more. The...”Read full review »

“This podcast hits every single chord. Horror, comedy, love but in a non romantic way making it more symbolic, action, adventure, drama, suspense.
It is able to tell the story without actual narration and uses just dialogue and tremendous sound effects. Every episode leaves me wanting more and...”Read full review »

Part 40- 22:50 is arguably the funniest line in this entire show.

“This is arguably one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. I started with Old Gods of Appalachia which in itself is amazing and stumbled upon Malevolent and never looked back. Also check out his other podcast “The Deviser” which is a limited series. Harlan Guthrie is the best.”
