“This is hands down one of the best podcast I’ve listened to!
The serial stories remind me a lot of American Horror Stories, and the production is off the charts. I’m already recommending this to all my friends. So, if you’re looking for a new audiodrama , I strongly suggest giving this a go!”

“This podcast was recommended by
Sarah from my favorite Podcast ever, “None of This is Real”! I always check out their podcast recommendations and this one did not disappoint!
I just binged Season 1 in two “sessions”. (So about four hours of listening this afternoon/evening. 😅) It was intriguing...”Read full review »

“I’m just starting season 3 now, and I love this podcast. I will admit, I was skeptical at the beginning, but I kept listening and got hooked after the second episode. The voice acting adds to the story. Very creepy stories with twists and turns that you definitely won’t see coming. I’m very happy...”Read full review »

While the story’s character changes with...”Read full review »

“I wanted to like this podcast. I liked the idea of an anthology. It’s not very well written or done. The dialogue is not believed and feels contrived at times. I listened to all of season one, 2 episodes of season two and two episodes of four. While it does seem like the podcast has tried to...”Read full review »

“I have ploughed through all the previous seasons of Palimpsest, and loved them. So quietly, artfully chilling, yet totally compelling. Hayly’s voice is beguiling and perfectly pitched. The new season is shaping up to be just as wonderful and I am cursing the fact that it’s only an ep every two...”Read full review »

“Bravo! I really enjoyed the first two seasons, but the third was spectacular. It helps that I’m a huge fan of the the source material that served as inspiration—even if not so much for the author of said material.
The show has always done so much with relatively little in terms of sound design....”Read full review »

“Faeries (the complicated kind), spies who see ghosts, death in the suburbs (or was it murder?), and excellent production! Love the pacing, the story craft is a great balance of background in a moving plot. I wait eagerly in between episode releases. This is the jam!”

“I was under the impression this was to be horror or thriller stories. Turns out it’s amateur accent hour instead. Stories were lackluster and reaching. Content was so uninteresting I struggled but based on other reviews I figured I’d keep trying. That’s a bunch of time I’ll never get back”

“Palimpsest is officially one of my favorite podcasts. The writing is beautiful and haunting. The voice acting is phenomenal. The theme music is the perfect realization of the word palimpsest.
If we want to change the world, we need to change the stories we tell. Embrace what haunts you.”

“The reviews had me sticking with it too long. I skipped to the end by episode six to try to find some reward for my time investment, haha. There wasn’t anything thrilling there and I didn’t regret my decision to cut it short. I did regret sticking with it after the first episode, however.”

“When I heard this podcast had Haunting of Hill House vibes I was so excited but that just isn’t true at all! The plot was interesting at first but it got old so fast. The mic also picks up a lot of distracting and uncomfortable noises from the actor’s mouth, which was terrible. Cool idea but...”Read full review »

“The storytelling is delightful throughout Season 1, but be aware that the audio includes constant mouth popping/saliva noises, making it borderline unlistenable at times if that’s something that you find yourself aware of. I can’t emphasise enough that I truly enjoyed the narrative flow, and hope...”Read full review »
