I usually find looping music (such as that carnival soundtrack) quite distracting, and feel that it’s fine to replace that music with...”Read full review »

“Loving this podcast. This is the best presentation of historical based fiction that one forgets its not 100% fact based. The actors draw you into their story. I am familiar with some of these historical figures. They were names. Now they are fellow human beings whose voices made me laugh and...”Read full review »

“I cannot wait for season 2!
These stories are captivating, being written and performed spectacularily.
These are intriguing and wonderful little windows into the lives of people history has forgotten.
The interviews with the authors are a delightful addition.
I seriously cannot get enough and...”Read full review »

“These are a bunch of historical fiction monologues about historical figures often forgotten, or sidestepped, or bystanders to a major event. I genuinely believe that it only gets better with every episode. Give "I Cannot Sleep" for an immediate idea of the amazing quality of work. And the...”Read full review »

“It's wonderful to see Newall and his team show that they can apply themselves to something outside the niches of tabletop gaming and horror. Entertaining and educational, but with emphasis on the former, these one -shot historical stories make for gripping listening.”

“So enjoyed ‘Strange Stars.’ Came to this as intrigued by the Outliers concept of stories from the edge of history. The story was odd and compelling. The production values are terrific - I felt cold and clammy hearing the Raven’s caw. Really enjoyed listening to this and forgot about everything...”Read full review »

“An interesting take on Historical events, seeing things from the outside view of the characters on the edge of events and the margins of history. Having ony listened to the first two tales and the accompanying interviews I can see how much thought and work has gone into this production. HRP and...”Read full review »

“Seems like just good short history-based weird fiction. Quality production values and capable narrators. I am confident that if the writers picked so far are a sample of what’s to come, this’ll be a quick fav of many”
