Season 2 is bad, going to listen to season 3

Absolutely love this show, it’s so fun and so creepy. Howling House it top tier. This show reignited my passion for TTRPGs, to the point that I’m running my own Cthulhu campaign now. And I don’t care what anyone else says, Father Grandfather is great.

I love this podcast. It reminds me of the old radio series from back in the time frame of the 1920s and 30s. Keep it up I’m always excited to listen to the next episode.

I’m going to talk about Season 4 because that’s what I have the most to say about. S4 is an interesting combination of my least favorite of the story arcs with my favorite overall narration style. The first part is very much just due to my personal tastes (as opposed to anything about the podcast...Read full review »

New to the Cthulhu RPG, excellent way to learn the RPG. Very entertaining to listen to, excellent artistic talent with this group all around!

Great series of Call of Cthulhu stories in the style of old time radio!

This podcast is so unique and wonderful! Full of talented people!

If you haven’t checked this podcast out, or haven’t listened in a while, do yourself a favor and listen to the latest season. Season 4 is an astounding piece of production that truly takes this series to whole different plane.

Father Grandfather is trying to be funny but is really just played by a jackass who gets off derailing things.
avil666 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/22
Just finished binging series 2 and this show is exquisite.
Thunder_812 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/22
An extremely entertaining and charming hybrid of tabletop role play and radio drama. Found it thanks to Cat Blackards guesting on Horror Queers. Her charm oozes through the ether. But the rest of the cast is amazing. Humour and horror in a perfect blend.
Lillskank via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 08/27/22
The direction this show is headed for season 3 is truly impressive. It’s also the first ttrpg podcast I’ve heard that’s spoken knowledgeably about Thelema and even offered legitimate criticism of it. However, despite its high quality, this explicit podcast should be labeled “woke” due to the...Read full review »

Does all entertainment need to be Woke?
Raygnar23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/22
Easily my favorite podcast since 2015. The Black Birth is my favorite storyline but Secret of Lot X and Crack’d and Crook’d Manse are still very good. Father Grandfather is hysterical as Lovecraftian comedic relief, if such a thing exists. They have several other impressive audio RPG shows, check...Read full review »

Great POD cast, let’s me live my gamer life vicarious through listing. Could do without the “ woke commercials”, other than that it a fun listen.
socstonewall via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/21
There are two things that can ruin an RPG - an uncontrolled player or a referee who has no control of their scenario. Both are present with the first season of this podcast. The very opening of the campaign was so incredibly chaotic due to the allowed actions of one player acting completely...Read full review »
Horror is Funny via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/21
I am really enjoying the old radio feel, and the cast is really good. It has a great mix of comedy and spooky.
Rhlursen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/21
The first season was an enjoyable spectacle but the second season was EXCELLENT occult noir, and the 1930s-style radio play form (with ads!) is so good.
J0539H1N3 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 05/18/21
I was looking for a Call of Cthullu podcast so I could start being a Keeper myself and couldnt stop listening to the Lot X story and of course my favorite character Oswald St.Clair
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/21
I haven’t really listened to a podcast like this before it has the perfect blend of the story, character development and the game aspect with great storytelling I’m hocked all I can say is I hope there will be more to come thank you
Drift 18 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/17/21
This id a must for all CoC fans, great acting, CoC rules and amazing sound effects A must for RPG and HPL fans alike.
Steve Lee 1711 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/06/21
Call of Cthulhu actual play, a good story AND the sound of a beautiful 1920s audio drama, while still being an easy-listen. Well done you people. And thank you for your gift. It is appreciated.
De zoveelste anoniem via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 12/25/20
Just finished this episode and it was like all the previous outstanding!!! If the episodes weren’t enough the bonus songs at the end are always amazing! However, True Love by Ellen Reid was without question the best one!! Saddens me I can not find it anywhere.
Firecop890 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/20
I was looking for an entertaining Eldritch horror type podcast to listen to at work, I was extremely surprised to find a show that I fell in love with immediately! This blend of radio show and tabletop game is amazing, I feel like I’ve found a show that will continue to grow exponentially. I love...Read full review »

This in expected podcast has blown my expectation and my mind. It’s full of fun and intriguing mystery. I would recommend this to everyone.
Mak4797 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/20
I don’t normally review things, but I wanted to review The Cthulu Mystery Program. I’m a little biased towards smaller productions that are trying to make it, but you would never guess that about this program. It’s dramatic sound design combined with a dynamic cast and well written story...Read full review »
Famanir via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/20
Cap and the crew at Omniverse have done a phenomial job crafting a beautiful hybrid experience. From actual play, dice roll outcome emerges the basis for a cohesive storytelling experience. The first season was done as a one-off years before Season 2, but does lack some of the polish. It's...Read full review »

The Call of Cthulhu Mystery program puts a flag in the ground with it’s well versed voice acting, fantastic stories that both chill and excite, and not the least of which is their sound effects and very appropriate musical selections. If you enjoy drama and a grand adventure against unknowable...Read full review »

Great mix of horror and comedy. Great story also.
Father Nickname via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/20
This program is so much fun. Very well produced, great characters, great story. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys Call of Cthulhu, radio dramas, or just good storytelling.
Starcrab via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/20
Season one is rough, mostly because of Father Grandfather. The character is quite annoying. I’m in season two now and it is a must listen. Great storytelling, believable character interactions and excellent audio quality. Not family friendly!
StealthSuitStanley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/20
Call of Cthulhu mystery program is exactly what I’ve been looking for in an actual play podcast. The perfect marriage between actual play and excellent post production has me coming back constantly to relisten. It perfectly balances hope and horror whilst maintaining excellent character...Read full review »
joshhoppo via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/19/20
Especially in season 2 the character work really shines through the horror (and within the horror) for an extremely satisfying story.
Foozbin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/20
I loved the unique aspect of this podcast which was the radio drama feel of it. The one thing that irked however is father grandfather. He seemed to “murder hoboy” for a game that is mostly about the investigation then the combat. Overall a great Call of Cthulhu podcast that I hope will continue.
Skullagar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/20
I genuinely love season one and was super excited about season two but, I hate father grandfather. I don’t know if it’s just that when I’ve played rpgs with people in the past that tend to steal the entire gameplay and immediately derail the game within the first session it kind of turns me off....Read full review »
Mr.ZCD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/20
If your looking for an entertaining radio show this will do the job. If your looking for a live play this is amazing. If your looking for a call of Cthulhu live play this blows all other ones out if the water. Better production, better editing, better characters, funnier and truer to the spirit...Read full review »

A talented Keeper and creative players make for an immersive story, and the high-quality sound design make it a pleasure to listen to. Truly horrifying. Keep the episodes coming!
ArborBarber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/20
I loved the raw feeling of season one. It was fun and raw. It felt like friends hanging out an enjoying random game play. Season two was very scripted. I don’t like this type of play.
AngryDoctor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/19
I’ve only ever played Call of Cthulhu once before. However, this series has rekindled my interest in the stories of Other Worldly Gods and the poor naive people who investigate them. Filled with crazy characters like Season 1’s Father Grandfather and dynamic duos like Season 2’s Oswald Sinclair...Read full review »
The Multicam Yeti via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/19
This is really entertaining and well executed table-top RPG, even more impressive that it comes across so well in a podcast. I’ve listened to a few D&D podcasts, and some of them are incredibly boring but this one is ace!
smishx via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/12/19
Love the high quality production and excellent character portrayals. This old school (1st edition) CoC gamer approves!!!
CorporateSlave44 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/19
I *love* the radio-drama format of this RPG podcast. Great production values—including audio quality, sound effects, and music—along with an engaging story and excellent acting make this a must listen for RPG podcast fans. A cut above all the rest!
Akiva David via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/19
Season 1 was more of an audio ride-a-long as the played the RPG, infused with the radio drama feel. It was hilarious and fun, but Season 2 is HEAVY on the radio drama with almost invisible RPG elements. I couldn’t make it through the first episode, it was painful and not enjoyable. I would much...Read full review »
Japansen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/19
Tried listening to this, and I couldn’t even make it halfway through the first session (Ep. 2) because of the clown playing the bible salesman. He’s absolutely a “that guy”: a selfish, unfunny idiot who’s seemingly only interested in detailing the game. Add to that that his voice (both his real...Read full review »

These completely sane people set the bar for podcasting quality, content, and creativity. I don’t know if I’ve heard a story told better - certainly not on a podcast. The mechanics of the game are so seamlessly injected into the dialogue that you’ll barely notice they are there. I’m mostly...Read full review »
