“This podcast turns the inside of your skull into a giant immersive IMAX theatre. Storybound is like the Twilight Zone of the podcast scene. Complete with host Jude Brewer playing the role of Rod Serling. The show's concept is brilliant in its simplicity & how it uses the audio form: by...”Read full review »

“Please consider getting rid of the music. Listening to stories is not like listening to lyrics, which are built originally with music and beats. Having the music alongside the reader here competes with the stories. It is impossible to listen to both simultaneously, and it is clear that they are...”Read full review »

“The podcast has a great collection of short stories. But the soundtrack is annoying and distracting. Isn’t enough to listen to a great author expressively read a short story…do we need a soundtrack running in the background? And the sounds are sometimes louder then the author’s voice!”

“but IDK, can really hear them well due to the overly loud music. Someone should tell them that background music should be in the background, not the only thing you can hear.”

“The stories are great. This podcast has the ability to be amazing. But it can’t be amazing as long as whoever the person is, who was responsible for making the decision to include so much music, dad editing and general overproduction— remains at the helm a final decision making. Please, please...”Read full review »

“The annoying back ground music distracts me from the story. It’s loud and irrelevant. There are some parts in story that the music is repeated over and over again, which is unbearable.
I loved the earlier seasons though...
Gonna come back in few months to see if we’re back to those good old days !!!”

“Usually the stories are good, but often the reader isn’t like a ‘professional’ voice actor, with an animated and engaging delivery, or quality mic. Then the show tries to make up for this with too many bells and whistles - gratuitous effects, lots of music, sound clip inserts, etc that make the...”Read full review »

Both presented unique and unexpected excerpts. I can’t wait to read the full stories and listen to more excerpts!”
