Look no further you’ve just stumbled upon one of the greatest shows I’ve ever encountered

The ending of the Crowe Boys’ story absolutely gutted me and I’m actually putting off listening to Terminus because I’m not ready to be so emotionally attached to these new characters yet lol. I also love how much collaborative storytelling you guys do, it’s not just the GM deciding the world and...Read full review »

Even years after first releasing revisiting the Crowe boys and listing to there story is my favorite way to spend a long drive or trip. Thank you for all the excellent content!

I must say for any would be skeptics, this show is no less than a masterpiece. Caleb Sundsted weaves an adventure with the most memorable descriptions of any RPG I’ve ever heard. For sure will be taking inspiration from his style in my own games. This isn’t even talking about the performances of...Read full review »

Sounds Like Crowes is just what I’ve been looking for. Growing up in the south and being Native American, was be always loved westerns but have a problem finding ones that don’t make me feel gross. This show has given me that long childhood long dream of a western where it’s okay to be Indian....Read full review »

I’m currently on season 3 episode 17 and it’s been a ride and look forward to more content. Game Master Caleb has a whole slew of NPCs, situations a massive grasp on the Savage World rule sets. The staring players all bring unique and interesting characters to the show in the form of the Crowe...Read full review »

Top-notch storytelling and RPGing while explaining game mechanics. A truly tough trifecta! Well done.
Iasonem via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/21
The cast and GM for this actual play podcast really click. The editing is top notch, and the music sets the perfect mood every time. I love that the story is a bit on the more serious side, but the players still feel comfortable cracking jokes. A well balanced drama with an awesome setting....Read full review »
Nick.Robertson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/21
Almost since I started listening to actual plays I’ve been searching for one for Deadlands. That search is unequivocally over now that I found Sounds Like Crowes. They came out of the gate with high quality audio, strong story hooks, and amazing character work. Each character seems like they are...Read full review »
Sam Wich PGH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/21
I’ve listened to a bunch of actual play podcasts, and my biggest gripe has always been that they lean a little too far into the comedy side - which is understandable since they tend to be improv groups. I’m only on episode 2 of this podcast and I can tell that it balances plot/character...Read full review »
NeatMrPete via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/20
Came here after catching up with critical role, and after several disappointing other AP podcasts I was blown away by this show. The cinematic descriptions by Caleb help me picture each scene and I love each of the boys. The story keeps me wanting more every time. The characters have depth and I...Read full review »
Abhorsem2012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/20
The show starts like an old western, incorporates the perfect amount of horror and laughs, makes for the perfect story to immures yourself in. An easily binged show with lots of twists and turns that are unsuspected- you are not going to be disappointed.
AlexandriaGC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/20
I have never played Deadlands but love Westerns. This was recommended to me as a series of podcasts I should check out and the concept of a horror weird west interested me. This is an exceptional podcast—the voice acting and sound production are great, the story is super interesting, and all the...Read full review »
Katowisp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/20
Absolutely one of the best RPG podcasts out there. Great at hitting all the right notes- horror, comedy, action, tragedy. The players are amazing and Caleb is an amazing GM. Highly highly recommend.
Grumpy Ol Doc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/20
I am in complete love with this podcast in every way! A group of talented people who got together & have fun creating a world full of ideas & characters to love & love to hate! I’m new to the Deadlands rpg podcasts & this would be a movie or tv series I could not get enough of...Read full review »
~Jeni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/20
Listened to the pilot this weekend and was hooked immediately. Ten episodes in I figure it’s time for a review. Normally I have to remind myself that most podcasts start out rough and the crew figures it out a few episodes in, but this is not the case for Sounds like Crows. The show starts off...Read full review »
Baron Von Bill via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/20
I enjoy this show very much. It has supplanted my normal media consumption. I am terrified for when I catch up to the weekly releases! It really captures deadlands and you can tell this group has been gaming together for a long time. I really enjoy it.
Spiff diffler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/19
It all really came together with this audio drama. A gripping story and well acted characters (Isaac as the brutally determined Abel Crow, Marshall as the tortured Thaddeus, Alex as the family man Ellis, Camron as the flamboyant Harper, and Cameron as Crowe-by-Choice "Lucky") work well...Read full review »
"Savage Bull" Landauer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/19
I love Deadlands, and everything related to it. I love listening to great roleplaying. My surname is Crowe. And I have four brothers. This podcast could have been made just for me. Not only is this one of the best actual plays I've ever listened to, it's really funny too. Caleb has a...Read full review »
Gamesmeister via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/02/19
This is one of my main 2 tabletop gaming podcasts that I listen to and the best Deadlands podcast I have found after some exhaustive research. I can not get enough of this podcast and the way these boys put on a show. It’s like watching little clips of a movie every episode and every one leaves...Read full review »

Seriously, you should have started listening already. This podcast is better than whatever it is you're listening to right now.Read full review »
ThePrimesauce via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/19
This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts, the cast of friends as the player characters were so convincing I was genuinely surprised to find out they weren't actually brothers. If you're craving some well produced, cinematic Weird West programming, this is the show for you!Read full review »
YouSeeTheHat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/19
Mix awesome long-form story telling, great table chemistry, and top audio quality and you get Sounds Like Crowes! This is one of the best actual plays out there and if you are a fan of Deadlands you definitely can’t afford to miss this one!
Dr. Blackhat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/19
Sounds Like Crowes differentiates itself from other shows in the actual play category out there. The show and its cast does a great job combining western, horror and steam-punk genres to tell a compelling story of brotherhood as five brothers go on a journey of conflict, loss and family...Read full review »
SeanWhite0811 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/27/19
I was in search of a Deadlands AP podcast, and SLC delivers in spades (and hearts, clubs, and diamonds)! Great production, fantastic camraderie between the players, a fantastic mix of serious, gripping storytelling with actual laugh out loud moments. The audio quality is second to none, which...Read full review »
Zutros3000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/19
As others have noted, the technical aspects are very good - excellent sound quality, well edited, and so forth. The stories are terrific. The main characters are well acted, with good voice work. I started listening to this podcast in a rotation, one episode here and there among several...Read full review »
Gesselthon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/19
Sounds Like Crowes is a high quality Let’s Play that immerses you in an alternate world of cowboys, dust, demons, and hot lead. It’s an easy listen for anyone, even those not familiar with Deadlands or Savage worlds. The rules are enforced but not a focal point. The story telling and acting is...Read full review »
LordMomo300 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/19
Sounds Like Crowes is the first "gaming" podcast that I have come across to edit their game into a compelling storyline. I cannot wait for the next week to come out so I can find out what happens! Thanks for making such a great product guys. Keep up the wonderful work! And with all...Read full review »
TotalJedi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/19
This show is hands down one of the best actual play podcasts out there. Original soundtrack, and great character acting and GMing. One of the few that are serious in tone, too. Unlike most of the other shows out there that take a while to get good, this one hits the ground running, so just DL the...Read full review »
Straeng via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/14/19
They'll make you laugh! They'll make you cry! Sounds like Crowes is an excellent Savage Worlds Actual Play that prioritizes story telling above all else.Read full review »
Rvrpodcast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/19
A good podcast in that the sound quality and editing are well above average. The theme music is perfection. A great podcast because the PCs and NPCs are all complex, interesting characters. They have unique voices, are well-acted, and feel very genuine. The story is engaging and well-paced,...Read full review »
IfThenAnderson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/19
Sounds Like Crowes is one of the best AP’s on the market. The show is an incredible example of what Character interaction should be like in AP’s. Five estranged brothers who have varying relationships with each other are forced together to work towards a common goal. They grow and change as the...Read full review »

I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for an Actual Play I can tell you I don’t have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over listening to a very large amount of content. Skills that make me a nightmare for...Read full review »
@rpgjedi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/19
I don't listen to actual play podcasts. I don't watch them on You Tube or Twitch. I don't like them. They aren't good. They are bad. All of them. "But wait!" you say, "Perhaps you haven't listened to my favorite AP! It's actually good! I promise." It...Read full review »
Adam "CriticalEyeRpg" Anderson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/19
Sounds Like Crowes is far and away the best actual play podcast out there. You think Critical Role is good? They've got nothing on the Crowe boys. Episodes are narratively tight and nearly every scene packs some weight. The show has done nothing but improve over time and it's the only...Read full review »
Zach LaBounty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/19
Great story, compelling characters, all served with top notch editing. Love it !
franwaxx via Apple Podcasts · Japan · 05/07/19
These guys are killing it!!! Sounds Like Crowes are a great example of what makes AP's so incredible. This is storytelling at a high level with vivid believable characters who are co-creating a world that is entertaining and inspiring. Thank you for your unflagging dedication to a fun...Read full review »

Great Ap podcast with incredible production values. You will enjoy this just for the story even if your not intrested in Savage Worlds or Deadlands.
Desk__ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/19
Great podcast from top to bottom. Story, sound and RP are all top notch. If you are into Deadlands or Westerns and aren’t listening you are missing out.
Not Another Nathan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/19
As I write this review, SLC is the best AP podcast out there, bar none. The commitment to quality, the outstanding interactions between the cast members, and the insanely good GMing by Caleb make this my most awaited podcast release weekly. Do yourself a favor and go listen to them. You won’t...Read full review »
Novazeon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/19
I was suggested to listen to SLC by a good friend of mine and barely 2 episodes into the first season I instantly fell in love with all the characters and the story telling. The story of these brothers is so well edited and played out even from the beginning and just gets better and better as...Read full review »

I found out about Sounds Like Crowes from a collaboration they did with Shadow of the Cabal, an L5R podcast I greatly enjoy. I am so happy to have discovered this podcast; as a total nerd about Actual Play Tabletop podcasts (I listen to around 12 or so) Sounds Like Crowes immediately shot up to...Read full review »

I reached out to these lovely podcasters, a few days ago. And I'm shocked to hear I'm the first from Colorado to reach out. Like where is the love for these amazing podcasts. This is an amazing podcast with a wonderful story. The story has a real western feel and a dark horror element...Read full review »

A bunch, possibly a band, of brothers are out to avenge the death of their mother, while doing their very best to alienate every single NPC they meet. Dispite that it's a very entertaining podcast and the inter-character dynamics are excellent.Read full review »
Steamwyck via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 11/09/18
A lot of people do actual play podcasts. Very few do it like these guys. We owe a debt to Sounds Like Crowes for reminding us that story and narrative should always come first. These guys know how to elevate an audio medium into something much more immersive than it has any right to be. With a...Read full review »
Melting Plot Podcast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/18
I love this podcast. Great story, great music, great role playing and great GMing. I’m not a big fan of western, but since listening to sounds like Crowes, I became much more interested in the genre. One of my favourite podcast for sure. Making Monday a day I actually look forward to. Keep up...Read full review »
SaraOfSilk via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/24/18
I was searching for materials about Deadlands when I came across this podcast. Unlike many other plays, this one is truly remarkable: great sound, awesome players, deep atmosphere with some jokes in between, breathtaking plot. The guys are making a great job for already a year.
servzin via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 09/06/18
Well produced, high quality actual play podcast. The story is engaging and the characters are really great. The group has a wonderful chemistry that allows them to switch from casual jokes to serious roleplay in an instant. The whole thing is cinematic and I've actually learned a bit about...Read full review »
