I love this show so goddamn much. It’s haunting and beautiful and incredibly evocative. It’s like a bluegrass song as a podcast and I am so here for it. The first arc in Barlow remains my favourite but god this show is just incredible. Also I love the opening song and always sing along.

Absolutely love the stories and performances but please offer an ad free subscription option. There are just too many ads. The show is worth paying for if the ads can be avoided. I spent a good bit of time in the Appalachian mountains in my younger days and I can easily feel these stories come...Read full review »

the best podcast I’ve listened to, family. The writing is phenomenal and I love the female centric plot lines. Feeling genuinely glum that I finished season four and eagerly await the next season.

WONDERFUL narrator, he sounds just like home! Absolutely hooked from the first listen, great music and story telling

I am a huge fan of all things horror - with a preference for the eerie, strange, and spooky over gore for its own sake. This podcast is some of the best horror storytelling I’ve experienced in any medium, not just podcasts. The intertwined storylines and character set up, together with a mix of...Read full review »

Just discovered and it’s all I’ve listened to for days. Fantastic story, storytelling, music - I want to buy all their merch and give them all my money.

I have absolutely loved listening to this podcast, and it has helped me get over the fact that the Silt Verses is over. Well written and well executed. I appreciate the respect for and representation of queer people and lives, without feeling wedged in or disrupting the story. BUT, are we aware...Read full review »

First let me say that this is one of the ONLY podcasts I will agree can be reasonably compared to TMA. It is just as immersive, just as complex, and just as well written. I listened to S1&2 twice because I knew it was brilliant and i had to experience it again and I am so glad I did. i am...Read full review »

First discovered in August 2024. I’m addicted. Incredible writing and reading talent (or should say … gifts).

Meh
I wanted to like it, especially since there are so many 4-5 stars, but I just couldn’t. Listened well into season 2 and just can’t follow. I think it’s the delivery/narration. Not sure. I feel like I’m sitting in church with a preacher that’s hollering and shaking his fist. Makes it hard to focus.
KarlisaJade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/24
What a show! No words to describe the character development and story development. This IS my fave podcast! So glad to hear there is a season 5 on the works!
amazed1009 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/24
I stumbled across this about 2 years ago and it’s been a staple in my listening library ever since. Steve and Cam are UNBELIEVABLY good writers. Like it’s not even funny how good and engaging these stories are. Dense, full of lore, rich tapestries of an Appalachia I’ve never been to but feel like...Read full review »

Every episode delivers in such high-quality from writing to narration to graphics, to music. Thank you all so much for your dedication to the craft of storytelling.

I accidentally posted a poor review intended for a different podcast to this one, so I have to recalibrate my reviews! I LOVE this podcast. It’s excellent.
amand0r via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/24
It’s a cool podcast, but they need to have a link you can click that gives you content warnings because it really spoils the stories and I try my hardest not accidentally read them.
Bunnyberrybeauty82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/24
This is, by far, the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. I started listening a couple years ago, thinking it would be another horror podcast. But those first few episodes hooked me into a wonderful journey. Every single episode on this podcast is fantastically written, sound design is crisp and...Read full review »

Great narration and stories.
Bugsy and Maxx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/24
Not only is the storytelling and acting top notch, but it is a joy to hear the rich folklore of Appalachia and America in an entertaining format.
Willcrimson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/24
This is my third time through this story and it is just as terrifying and engrossing this time as the first two. The writing, production, and performances are as top notch as anything you will find or Netflix or Disney +. Be warned, this stories are not for the timid or faint of heart. But you...Read full review »

This is hands down the best podcast I've ever listened to. I'm addicted and wish I could afford to give enough to their pattern so I can listen to the other stories.Read full review »
The first version was fine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/24
I really loved this show, found it a few seasons in and listened to it non stop for weeks. I was so excited for rhe 4th season to come out, but the episodes kind of disappoint. I get that they’re trying to stretch the story as much as they can, but compared to the previous seasons, season 4 feels...Read full review »

What a story. It’s like poetry
emmylou1212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/24
Fantastic podcast with a great feel that is uniquely American. You should definitely check it out! Update: first podcast that made me tear up and put a lump in my throat. Another update: still an excellent show, however the non-linear story does make things difficult to keep up with the large...Read full review »

I really love this pod. I always want more of it so much that I have listened and re-listened, and then re-listened some more. See you soon, family!
Bernsly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/24
I love the stories, voice actors and attention to detail. These people really get eldritch horror. :) What I cannot abide; and, whst will make me leave eventually are the long breaks while Old Gods does live shows. This would be tenable, bearable, understandable if they had said, “We will be...Read full review »

every time i’m greeted with a “hello family” my soul heals a lil. This is probably my favourite podcast, it helps me feel in touch with my family roots and is still plenty spooky. the sound design and effects is remarkable and the story and characters are incredibly written and feel like...Read full review »

I stumbled into this by accident - and I am titally blown away. Great production, really good actors, good stories and fantastic music. What a find. What a ride. Best from northern Bavaria (Germany) where we have our own old gods…
Montelovesco via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/07/24
One of the best things I ever heard!!! Highly recommend! Keep them coming!
NatNep via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/24
Have listened to a lot. It just does not change good production nice hooks just became boring.
tilemma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/24
My grandfather was a miner. I’m a writer. Steve and Cam’s narrative smacks me in the face every time. I live on a different continent, but it’s the same seam, separated only by eons of drift. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been to Appalachia when my work took me to NC with the USMC. Geordies...Read full review »
GeorgePHC via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/26/24
The writing and oration are suspenseful and engaging. They include new music from brilliant musicians, but the best part is how the writers create a family against the dark and include you as kin.
Amalthea71 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
The stories are winding, but powerful. The writing is downright poetic. Steve’s voice runs the range for jocular to terrifying to disturbingly sexy, sometimes in the same paragraph. I would listen to this man read the phone book, if they still made those. Volume mixing is too quiet in the...Read full review »

This is one of the best storytelling podcasts I’ve ever listened to.
Henny renee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
I love this podcast, I love the storylines, the gritty dark magical Appalachia mood…but I really dislike the hokey-wokey, neo-Maoist undertones to some of the story lines. Come on family, do better.

Started off awesome, then made a hard left turn.
LPLDmom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/24
Great storytelling, not over acted, the folklore was explained just enough but not to distract from the story. The characters were built up beautifully and then weaved together perfectly. I drive for a living and go through many stories. This has been the best so far.
Standbyit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/24
Always look forward to the next episode!
Beer_skeletonizer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/24
Probably my favorite in audio fiction. Old Gods of Appalachia is a masterclass in what I refer to as a directed, plot driven anthology series. Not being afraid to spin off into different stories that come together to inhance the narrative is one of this shows strongest points. Fantastic writing...Read full review »

The voice acting, story telling, folklore, everything about this podcast is incredible. Don’t sleep on this, it will blow your mind!
Rachelbeatsyou via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/24
So well written and good! Love it! Love it if you love, tanis, Magnus archives, white vault, nightvale, great stories with so many characters and so much development, and pulls you right in !
girlwes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/23
Been a fan for a few seasons now but this season has been different than seasons before! They’re drawing out every episode with this storyline and then it’s so short with 5+ minutes of ads in the beginning and 5+ minutes of ads at the end. I get the ads but it’s sooo short to begin with!
mehaoaks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/23
Consistently great quality, the writing and performances surpass all expectations. Podcasts have no right being this good.
