“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 podcasts showing to a crawl to keep up with a schedule that keeps listeners engaged.
My only problem, as has been mentioned, is with the voice acting. But I’m not sure if the issue is the actors or the process. Healy seems to use some pretty good voice talent, but the dialog between characters often sounds out of sync in both tempo and emotion. It makes me wonder if scripts are given to the voice talent, and then they do their lines devoid of the other voice actors and then Mr. Healy edits it all together. It just doesn’t sound like the characters are truly interacting with each other, and the timing between phrases from one character to the next seems oddly similar.
I can understand why this would be done from a production process view, but I’m just not sure it works all the time, leading to some odd sounding interactions between characters.
Despite this, the stories are well written and produced, and I can’t argue with the breadth of material that Healy has produced in the last couple of years.
Road of Shadows is well worth the listen despite some of the issues.”

“Story so far is good, love the shadiness behind the town and how the monsters are tying in. The story is cool and can’t wait to see where it’s going! All the actors are doing great but my only critique is Daniel’s voice. It’s almost like you can tell he’s just reading a script? Idk could be just...”Read full review »
