But Leon is awesome and so is the main cast and I am HOOKED I tell you, HOOKED. I’m still on the first season and it’s amazing… these monsters give me the chills and the comedy is wonderful. I am most definitely hyper fixated and will be making so much fanart.

I just started listening to this podcast but I’m already so hooked! I love the suspense and the drama - I think the GM really puts the system to work and is very good at showing what the game itself can do. I’ve learned a lot so far and I can’t wait to learn more! Keep up the good work.

On Episode 9 of Season 1 and I can’t get enough. Well played by everyone and totally entertaining stories and characters. It’s my first introduction to MotW and I couldn’t ask for a better way to inspire me to find my own MotW group. A great listen.

A great storytelling podcast not just for Monster of the Week fans but for anyone who likes a good mystery, rowdy characters, and a touch of spookiness. A fun listen for your commute, road trip, or — even better — the campfire!

I started Monster Hour because it was the first thing that came up in relation to Monster of the Week. I’m a new keeper and desperately needed advice and to see how the game actually played out, and what better than a podcast literally called “Monster Hour?” In just a few episodes I was...Read full review »

This is the best MOTW actual play out right now, bar none. Nothing else comes close. You have to hear it to believe it.

What a phenomenal season! Love every moment with each character, greatly looking forward to more!
Amelia Gia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/21
We are always looking for actual plays that play systems other than dnd. Monster of the Week is a great system and they really do an amazing job of playing it and making it fun and engaging. So glad I found this one.

Picked up this podcast entirely out of chance, not entirely sure what I was looking for aside from the MOTW system. That was a week ago. I am past the fifty episode mark. Someone please help, I don’t think I can stop binging if I wanted to.

I looove this podcast, currently binging the whole thing. Quinn is an excellent Keeper, and the players created an hilarious, compelling, and endearing party. Listening to this group’s antics has me at times on the edge of my seat with anticipation, at others misty eyed, and still others busting...Read full review »

This podcast is absolutely unbelievable. As a long time podcast fan I can honestly say I haven’t been this hooked on a new show in years! 30 episodes in and I can’t wait to get caught up.

As soon as I finished my first listen-through I IMMEDIATELY started my second, am halfway through, and am already thinking about the third. Tbh y’all might be the real monster, out here making me cry at work
deadlibrarianthanks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
I've just started listening, so I'm only half a dozen of episodes in, but I love this podcast. The players are great and the characters are fun. The game takes place in Colorado, where I used to live, and the descriptions by the Keeper strikes some chords in my heart. I can't wait...Read full review »
SkredlitheOgre via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/21
Easily one of the best actual-play podcasts I’ve ever listened to. The Keeper, Quinn, does a fantastic job narrating and providing a realistic feeling setting, and his players all do an amazing job playing off of each other and the lively cast of NPCs the crew has encountered. Entertaining,...Read full review »

I spend a lot of my time listening to Actual Plays and this one holds a special place in my heart. I enjoyed the first arc, but things really take off in the second, and by the third I realized I had fallen in love with this show. Quinn is a great GM who really tailors the mysteries to both the...Read full review »

Such a funny crew and elaborate and wonderful world building. Greetings from Germany
Mr_Mataallo via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 11/20/20
First off, I got to say Wow. There is some amazing setup and development that was done for both the characters and the town of Firmament where this story takes place. From the cold openings leading into each new case to the fine details the players and keeper have added to this area and history,...Read full review »

I’ve just started listening to this podcast and am so happy it’s been going for awhile, so there’s lots to listen to. It’s a fun and hilarious adventure, with a great cast, and I can’t wait to see what shenanigans the group get up to!

In this podcast they're playing the RPG Monster of the Week, a tabletop system inspired by shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have a particular liking for the game system and having searched around for podcasts that do it justice I must say that Monster Hour is a breath of fresh air....Read full review »

I’ve seen so few podcasts that delve into this fantastic game, let alone with high production value, but Monster Hour is fantastic! Every character is lovable and complex, every hunt is unique and compelling, and every episode is well-paced and incredibly entertaining.
Loxley Loxsmith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/20
Fantastic! It’s the perfect balance of story and gameplay. The characters are wonderful and the monsters are very creative. The cast is super fun and it’s just a joy to listen to. The McElroys introduced me to Monster of the Week through TAZ: Amnesty (which is great too), but this is the podcast...Read full review »

Learn how to play MOTW instead of a bastardized DnD game by listening to this show. Such a beaut.
FeralBLs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/20
Love me some Monster of the Week, ever since bingeing TAZ: Amnesty, so I love Monster Hour! But it's not just the system - it's the great goofs that come side-by-side with genuinely horrifying, well, horror. It's the great opening+closing theme, it's the great GMing (Keepering?...Read full review »
Ada Blackhorn via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/09/20
I listened to two episodes of this show and put it down. It’s a little slow at first, but it’s got some good moments. Then I went back to it cause I wanted to resolve the first mystery, and boy howdy was I glad I did! Quinn is an amazing Keeper! And the characters and their players are absolutely...Read full review »
Tyler Clawson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/20
There is this middle ground of monster of the week where it can both be funny & truly spooky and I think this crew does it so well. I’m only a few episodes in, but the Romanian background character is so fun because I never seen someone of my cultural background shown in a RPG setting down to...Read full review »

Witty and fun.
