“Initially great podcast but they ran out of script,1 episode every few months? A great concept with no direction..shame.”

“The world building and setup of this show is immense, but I’m always so absorbed by the lectures. Amazing production.”

“If you want a quick payoff, or even want a series to answer all your questions, this isn't the series for you. I don't even know if this will end having answered most of the questions it raises, though I enjoy it all the more because of that. If, however, you like incredibly detailed...”Read full review »

“What a story - It may seem slow at times, but it is all moving forward. Builds a very interesting (fictional) lost place/ lost people story. The "lectures" I've heard complaints about - there is more happening than just the lecture.”Read full review »

“Well, it sounded great for the first 3 episodes until they doused the show in woke gender ideology nonsense and gender fluidity/pronoun politics. Too bad.”

“When I first read the name I thought it was an actual historical podcast. I then reread it 6 months later and realized it was fiction.
Slow to develop but compelling. I am intrigued with the direction it's going.”Read full review »

“I love the whole thing. The college class setting, the alt history, the ancient society, the mystery. It’s exactly my cup of tea.”

“This is the podcast of all podcasts. Masterfully written, paced to perfection, the voice of the professor is soothing and convincing. I have listened to many podcasts in this genre - this is the gold standard! Can’t wait for more.”

“I really wanted to like this podcast. I gave it a shot, ALL the way to the beginning of the 4th season. The concepts are fun and I’m not against world building or character discovery. The constant delivery through “professor lecture” format ended up being boring and off-putting. The few...”Read full review »

“The first few episodes of Anterran Literature grip you. The Professor's (unfounded?) dedication to this hidden society has a way of taking a conspiracy theory and making it feel more plausible. The world of Anterra is rich, the storylines taking place outside of the classroom are great, and...”Read full review »

“I really dig this story. Presented as it is as a lecture series (with extras), I felt like I was back in college taking one of “those” classes. The weird ones that turn your head sideways and make you wonder if you even exist. The sound editing is flawless in that regard, and the story has me...”Read full review »

“I think this is my new currently airing fictional podcast. I have a soft spot for historical conspiracy theories a La Fingerprints of the Gods. Even though I don’t really believe them, they’re fun. And I also love dark academia as a genre, not to mention an amateur interest in anthropology. The...”Read full review »

“The setting, premise and many other aspects of the show are amazing. Ok the professor character could be a lot less pretentious and a stereotypical “rebel” professor. However, the biggest issue with this show is the infrequent episodes. I literally forgot what the hell was going on by the time a...”Read full review »

“How does the main character manage to sound exactly like one of my professors? I’m not sure, but it’s delightful to realize I feel like I’m in a really fascinating lecture and then… things get a bit suspicious and weird and creepy. Can’t wait to see where the story goes.”

I particularly love the greasier side of the prof which he eventually sees reflected back at him. Each...”Read full review »

All the fictional anthropology feels grounded, not like a fantastical version of Atlantis, and the covert intrigue plot is a bit of a...”Read full review »

“First, the rave review on the front comparing it to Tanis is just unfair to this audiodrama. This is so much better than Tanis and only trails Old Gods of Appalachia in my book. I love Anthropology, but you don’t need to. The classroom setting is a pretty genius way to get around the whole...”Read full review »

“I’d you’re a fan of Tanis and Within the Wires you will enjoy this melding of the two to make a series all its own. MOTIAL is an amalgamation of puzzle pieces that are leading in the right directions but we don’t yet have enough to make a full picture.”

“Now this is the kinda mystery i like. This encroaching wrongness or dread thats situated in this very real feeling universe. Its why i liked the beginning of the black tapes so much.

“Narrative podcasts have been something of a crapshoot for years now. Cookie cutter mysteries, Reddit-grade creepypasta knockoffs, and migraine inducing voice acting have plagued the medium for years.
Modes of Thought, like the Anterran civilization we study, raises the narrative podcast from...”Read full review »

“I’m so hooked, and am so excited about this story! Ok, this is an unreliable narrator, with a wild theory, based on sketchy evidence from a notoriously propagandist nation, and disappearing 1st hand eye witnesses. BUT the possibilities this opens up are irresistible and his journey down the...”Read full review »
