The story seemed to have potential, but I didn’t get far due to the unfortunate voice acting and lack of character development. Bummer. The high rating this has does not track.

Nice to have a fictional podcast that is more than just a narrator doing different voices. Also amazingly refreshing to have a fictional podcast that doesn’t make all the male character “toxic” and doesn’t dwell and make everything about some ideology.

I have really been enjoying this production and I think the voice acting, writing and production are very good ! BUT I get to the end of the first season looking forward to Season 2 and realize that there is at least one possible more missing episodes from season one . Took me a full episode...Read full review »

The story is very exciting. Has Grim vibes. Would be just as good w/out the profanity. When dies season 3 start? I can’t find any info the show’s site or anywhere else.

This is so far the best from what I’ve listened to from Mark R Healy. The Strata is also excellent if you haven’t listened to it yet. Mark strikes the perfect balance between finding great voice actors, great writing, and sound effects that really get you immersed into the stories. I got to a...Read full review »

Phenomenal script with a talented cast! I can picture all of it. Super entertaining!

I’ve been a fan of Mark’s work for a while and happy to support his continued efforts. ROS was a fun listen and looking forward to season 3. Check out The Strata. It’s dope. Thank’s Mark. I appreciate all you do for the podcast fiction genre. Keep it up. 👍

Every character uses the same expletive. It’s like nails on a chalkboard for a Christian. Hating god by using his holy name in the place of a cuss word. Say whatever cuss word you want but stop hating the creator and abusing his name.

Really cool world. Characters are decent, sound quality is good, real nice show overall. My only gripe is that some of the voice actors sound pretty dull at times, but other than that this show is excellent!

Was surprised with a request to buy a subscription to get the ending. There was an option for free trial but no information on how to cancel if you change your mind. Large subscription price not worth only three shows they display. Perhaps this should be said upfront as it feels like a trick at...Read full review »

Compelling storyline with likeable and relatable characters. Mostly dialogue with minimal narration, it lets you work out the details rather than being told what is happening, which makes for great listening. Looking forward to season 3!

An outstanding author with a phenomenal cast in all his shows !!!
Extremely useful !!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
Overall I am really enjoying this production but I really do not care for the overuse of the GD profanity. There are plenty of other swearwords that could be utilized if necessary and I find this particular profanity to be distracting. Aside from that issue this has good acting, sound effects and...Read full review »

I can’t thank the author enough for all the entertainment and provocation of thought. In this, and his many other stories. But I can thank the author a lot. Mil Gracias, Amigo! And thanks for the memories of tooling around in the 80’s with my girlfriend on the back of my motorcycle. That...Read full review »
Moelightsound via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/24
Solid story so far but come on man. Not sentence can go by without one of the two man characters say GD. It almost as if it’s a writing crutch at this point. Really takes away from an otherwise good listen.
Kick2hestr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
Like the rest of Healy’s podcasts, I applaud the stories and most of the production quality. The Road of Shadows is a great, engaging story with some interesting mystical twists to it. I also appreciate the speed at which these episodes are produced, as I see too many production heavy drama...Read full review »

The “Road of Shadows” is an amazing piece of sci-fi and a must for any Podcast library! Excellent production and I couldn’t help but support the content I love. Keep up the excellent work.
Guru of Awesomeness via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/24
I like the story idea a lot. The sound design, people walking and moving, cars it all sounds good. I like the pacing too. However I don’t like the voice acting I find it sounded cheesy to me. The characters are a bit cliche but perhaps it works for this plot. But since we are gonna hear a lot...Read full review »
Call Me Bilal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/24
I think for a podcast created by one person, Mark’s stories are pretty interesting and very entertaining. I thought the actors did a good job as well. I listen to these podcasts sometimes when I’m on the road and they are a great way to pass the time. The Road of Shadows certainly has that dark,...Read full review »

I can’t get over the way they speak , sounds like AI robots poor acting . QCode has spoiled me😩
Mahogs23# via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/11/23
It is interesting…. but Pete’s Tree Service employees are not funny. In fact, at this point about E5, every other character, except the main 2 are male? About 40% of the dialogue is swearing.
Resalovestimetravalfiction via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/23
This podcast has really interesting lore and is pretty well written. there is a lot of care in the production, meaning the voice work is good, the sound effects are good and the setting is well done. the story unfolds slowly and done in a that does pay off (along as you just go with it). the...Read full review »

Really enjoyed this journey, long may it continue!
Papajstone via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/23/23
This a great podcast. Well edited and produced, but there are smaller studios producing equally as well produced content wayyy faster. For the newest ep to be a patreon plug is... Unfortunate.
InfG35x via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
I was intrigued initially by the story line but then was bothered by the language. There is a fair amount of cussing and swearing just in the first episode. I can take some of that, but finally had to turn it off. I was sorry because it was an interesting story with developing characterization....Read full review »

I was really interested in the whole shadow monsters plot and how they can take human forms, but I think they didn’t utilize that right enough, or maybe they did as I’m still in ep 7 maybe there is a crazy plot twist at the end idk, but it felt that the story didn’t focus much on the supernatural...Read full review »
no one at all b via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/01/23
I get it, this pod isn’t a huge budget fictional series like Qcode creates, but unless your expectations are VERY low, you’re likely to find the acting and sound design truly terrible (I certainly did). The redeeming quality is the plot line is decently solid without huge leaps of logic.
Tomuzak via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/23
Concept was great but plot is not well developed and the main character is poorly acted. Extremely monotone. No emotion or variation regardless of the situation

Great listen.
landisjer1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/23
I absolutely enjoyed listening to this series, and I am looking forward to more seasons!!! it kept me interested great story line so glad that the main character doesn’t have to go through this by himself 😝. Can’t wait for what’s to come!

Love the characters, and the story. Characters are relatable and actors do a great job! I’ve listened to it more than once! Can hardly wait for more episodes!
amazed1009 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/23
So it’s pretty obvious the people that are saying this is the best podcast ever and giving it really high scores work for the podcast or have something to do with it or know the people who work in the podcast because this is pretty atrocious … the dialogue is awful the acting is the worst I have...Read full review »

I really enjoyed the story, up until we are introduced to Hobbs, the sheriff & the deputy. Their scripts and readings are so annoying. All they do is give snarky comments, berate, name call and yell. I don’t understand the point of it. If it didn’t add to the story I would have skipped their...Read full review »

WOW! This is the first audio story I have listened and I couldn’t get enough of it! I finished it over a weekend and couldn’t wait to listen to the next episodes. The sound, the actors and the music are absolutely superb! Thank you Mark, I really hope there will be a season 2! Amazing job! 👻
SarahO6 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/07/23
Excellent story, with great voice actors. The big reveal had me guessing the whole time.
Marty Sugar via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/07/23
Compelling enough to play during work but the dialogue is super cringey.
Moorekb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/23
Best audio drama of the year hands down
m0ther0fd0gs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/23
Great story line! Excellent acting!! I’m really hoping/ looking forward to for season 2 !
Totalcritic via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/29/23
I had high hopes for this podcast but I found it dull and formulaic with stereotypical characters. Couldn’t finish it.
Wootsy1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/23
The concept of this is very cool and has a lot to be explored. However, the story itself suffers from bad pacing and pretty poor character development. The whole thing could’ve been tied up in half the time. Nothing majorly significant occurs until the very final episode. Also, I find Daniel...Read full review »

I really loved the progression of the story. I was really interesting to see how the the whole plot unfolded. I really loved it. Honestly waiting for season 2 already. 🙂
00phoenix via Apple Podcasts · Nigeria · 07/25/23
Such a great story. Really love all the shows by Mark R Healy. The storylines, sound effects, music, acting, even aspects like episode duration are great… perfect in fact, making this an addictive listen! I’ve found very few other shows that are close to being this good. Thank you!
MattClark1981 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/25/23
I have loved every moment and can’t wait for the next episodes 🙌
LauBenne via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/17/23
This podcast is very interesting to listen too. My only comment is why do they make cops always sound like awful people and very adversarial. It’s not just this podcast but most podcasts in general.
Stillwater66 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/10/23
Love this podcast! Very entertaining! Need to listen!
Pj Zolin via Apple Podcasts · Belgium · 07/08/23
Everything is great and I have the feeling it’s going to get awesome. I hope so, because 8 episodes in, nothing noteworthy has really happened yet.
