“I have just found this amazing show and it’s phenomenal. Rob controls the game so well whilst giving the players every chance to flex their skills. Compelling, riveting, horror filled storytelling and I have over 300 episodes to binge listen to. How lucky am I 💜”

“Rob, I don’t know where you find these all-star players or how you do what you do, but to you and all of the talented people who make this show so unique, enthralling, and disturbing in the most entertaining ways: Thank you. You guys are knocking it out of the park in a way that would make Mitch...”Read full review »

“Orpheus Protocol is easily one of the best podcasts I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. I’ve done a lot of listening to actual plays, but either the story, characters, or production value end up lacking in some fashion. Orpheus doesn’t disappoint on any of those. Rob is a wonderful game master...”Read full review »

“Updating this review to praise the recent foundations mini arc, episode 5 was probably the most fun I’ve had with the Orpheus Protocol to date and I felt compelled to give you an enthusiastic thumbs up on a job well done.
PS Mitch is still the best.”

“The creator (Rob) has created a truly incredible piece of art with this podcast. This rises above pretty much any other actual-play I've heard in terms of the depth and thoughtfulness to which he crafts this epic story. By the 3rd arc I was 110% all-in on binging this thing out. It's...”Read full review »

“Honestly, this one of the best actual plays I think I’ve ever listened to. When I first encountered the show, I binged upwards of 6 hours every day, and it still took quite a while for me to get through it all. There is so much content, and it never skips a beat.”
