This is a really unique story that blends many elements into a fascinating and very lighthearted tale. It gets much more impressive as it moves along especially after learning the story behind it!

Ghostly Thistle mentioned this podcast on her show and I’ve been HOOKED! The story is amazing. The narrator has a wonderful mid Atlantic 1920s voice. I’ve caught myself with my mouth agape and hand on my chest listening to some of the twists and turns. A wonderfully fun jaunt!

Wonderfully written and read. A pleasure to listen where the adventures take Maude next.

This is a story that is extremely well-written and told. The flow from episode to episode is tremendous. I found it very hard to listen to only one episode when I found this tale. Truly a great podcast for putting on the headphones and letting yourself get caught up in the story. Highly recommend...Read full review »

Just discovered this show and I am hooked. Great pace and great story telling.

On the plus side a consistently produced podcast with a half decent narration style. However, this hasn’t seen a professional editor. Nor is the piece well researched. There’s quite a few historical mistakes and stretches for the 1920’s. Needed more work and a fresh pair of eyes. Something is...Read full review »

I discovered the story of Maude late but once I did, Wow! Just Wow! I immediately binged the whole thing. If you are looking for a tale in which you can totally immerse yourself, contains a steady stream of surprises with a narrator whose voice borders on mesmerizing I’d not look any further.

It started a little slow, but I adore this podcast. It’s creative & leaves me wanting more each episode.

A woman’s life is transformed by a strange destiny, revealed through the first person narration of her diary. Witty, intriguing, captivating. A lovely podcast that I highly recommend.

Love this podcast

This podcast is AMAZING! The premise is so incredibly unique. My husband who isn’t at all into podcasts or audio stories loves listening because of how original and entertaining it is! I have nothing but glowing words for the show. Just go listen. Do yourself a favor. Listen now! Update: I’d had...Read full review »

The arching story is super interesting and that’s what kept me going with this podcast. A few things to note: 1) the wet mouth noises the microphone picks up is difficult to ignore for anyone with sensory issues/misophonia 2) it isn’t enough to just say half the cast is non-white/BIPOC like...Read full review »

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this podcast. It’s magical, beautiful, well written and performed. I’m always sad when the episode wraps up so soon. Leaves you on the edge of your seat eager for more!! Well done!

Rarely does the name of a podcast capture its atmosphere as brilliantly as McGillicuddy and Murder’s Pawn Shop does. Right from the start, the story takes you on a journey of mystery, wonder and bravery. The smart magic system keeps the story exciting and brings both power and weakness to its...Read full review »

It is completely unbelievable that a show this good, a story this enchanting, writing, vocabulary, descriptions. The way it can get in your head like reading a book and “seeing it”, is done by one person. If you want best seller, top quality fiction this is it right here. A diary style story...Read full review »

This is my first ever podcast review and I love this show!!! This is exceptional storytelling and I’m hooked. And I’m sorry for the one star before this. That was a mistake and I think you are amazing!!!!

Great podcast, loving every minute of it! Thank you for making it 💝
Francesca2596 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/20
This is one of my favorite podcasts and MSW tells an amazing story. There have been times I have been very nervous for Melinda and her friends, and I have to keep reminding myself that she most likely survived her peril since she's reading what she wrote in her diary. I recommend it to...Read full review »

I absolutely love everything about this podcast! It’s enthralling, enchanting and charming. The narrator does an amazing job of making her world and all the characters come to life in the most magical way. I really can’t say enough good things!

Love. Love. Love this podcast.
Springdinger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/20
Binge listened to the first season. Just loved it. Period pieces can sometimes be tough, people keep imposing modern mindsets on the characters and endowing them with other characteristics unknown in the time period, but this show... got it all right!
AllTheGoodNicknamesAre Taken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/20
This is a fantastic, original story told in a really lovely way. I love the narrator! The episodes are 10 minutes long yet contain a large chunk of story material. The story keeps me gripped constantly. The great plot is made better by the well developed, complex characters. I relate to the main...Read full review »

One of the best and most underrated audio dramas. Modest production but it more than makes up for it in the quality of the writing
ravedeath via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/20/20
Fantastic magical pod!
SelmaDan via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 04/24/20
I’m rarely impressed by serialized podcasts with the one actor, but this one is mind blowing! Minerva is an absolutely brilliant writer and voice actor. The storyline gets your imagination going and leaves you wanting more.
Daxthebaussie via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/28/20
This is the podcast version of “a real page-turner.” Smart, suspenseful, funny and delightfully dark. Highly recommended!

I don't normally go for the single narrative podcast, but Ms. Wren's delivery is very engaging and entertaining. I look forward to more of this enchanting tale!Read full review »

One of my favourite podcast binges of all time. Brilliantly written and produced. Original story, a pleasure to listen to. Always happy to see new episodes in my feed. However, now I’m up to date, each release is very short for a long form fiction, and after a several weeks of regular listening...Read full review »

This first person narrative evokes my imagination so well that I often forget I'm hearing a single voice until the credits come up and I'm pulled back into reality.Read full review »

These short episodes are full of excitement and unknown! Each episode is sure to keep you on your toes guessing what the next adventure is.

I found this show a week ago. I absolutely love it. It is creative, kind, creepy, and interesting. It’s also funny, the Gas Mask episode (the nerve). I can’t wait to find out what happens next. Great job, Minerva.
KrissyPeters01 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/19
Lovely mystery/fantasy about friendship, belonging, betrayal, and finding your place in the world. Can’t wait for more!

Give a listen and enjoy.
Wildkb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/19
This takes me back to my childhood. What I mean to say is, it reminds me of the books on tape I used to listen to when I was younger. The narrator, that is to say the main character, has a sense of humor and wonder about her that's refreshing. The plot is very intriguing and not predictable...Read full review »
Yavrularii via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/19
I sincerely enjoyed this podcast so much! Just when I thought I knew where the story was going, it twisted in another direction. I also really like the diary style narration, because it leaves us not knowing anything more than the main character at any given moment. It’s a great listen for fans...Read full review »
