“The folks that run this pod are some of the most talented that I’ve come across. Their ability to go from silly to dramatic to terrifying is unreal. I desperately want some of these to be made into short fan made movies. This pod deserves way more attention than it gets. Listen. You won’t...”Read full review »

“Supremely creative, poignant, and hilarious.
I have legitimately been simultaneously haunted, driven to tears and laughter by episodes. At the very least, you’ll always be entertained by unique narratives told in the brilliant framework of a world driven by The Church of the Story and the...”Read full review »

“Long time listener, first time caller. I love this stupid spaceship you’re building. It is such a dumb treat for my dumb ears and each time there’s a new episode, my dumb stupid brain feels like it’s being tickled. Ha! Oh! Don’t make me pee my pants! Be careful, tho- sometimes when I’m tickled I...”Read full review »

“TSMBT has been producing original weird fiction regularly for years and has maintained the same high level of quality the entire time. How many other podcasts can make that claim? Definitely one of my top favorites.”

“I enjoy the story a lot but I keep accidentally eating while I’m listening. I hope to get to a point where I can eat while I listen. I drive a Ford Taurus.”

“How dear you review the story! The story should review you! In all it’s greedy glory, as I sit and watch, drinking a boiling hot mug of crow-crowa mmmmm mother’s milk baby!!”

“This is escapism at its best. I’m a mother of two small children and when they go to bed I slip in my ear buds and slide into a story. The writing is excellent, the narratives are exceptional and the narration is perfect.”

“My favorite fiction podcast ever! Every episode I’ve listened to so far is good - not a single dud. I hope they put out a book that compiles all the stories - I’d love to read them out loud to friends myself!”

“A perfect example of what can happen when you blend absurdity and phenomenal writing! A show that alternates between surreally hilarious and surreally disturbing, with wholesomeness occasionally smattered in between. Truly a spectacular podcast that deserves only the highest of praise. The Story...”Read full review »

“I binged all the available episodes at work for the last couple of weeks and OH THE BOY do I love it.
It reminds me a little bit of Welcome to Nightvale , which I also love.
Sometimes the Story makes me physically ill in its subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) horror (I have actually said WHAT...”Read full review »

“The rich bounty of this podcast is truly evidence of the story’s never ending love and I just told a small child that Santa isn’t real.
The fellowship of the story is bonded by bubbly hot grease soda. Mmmm slop slop slosh slosh 😋
Please continue to lurch through my ear canal and make me a...”Read full review »

“TSMBT is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard. I sit in awe of its very existence and thank God for allowing the forces to come together, necessary in order for this podcast to exist:
Not just an anthology, but an anthology wrapped within pious surrealism, prefaced by bizarre religious...”Read full review »

“The Story Must Be Told is very underrated and original. While all Story material is thrilling, it runs the gamut of tragedy and horror to sweet tear inducing poignancy and sentimentality. I understand why people have a hard time appreciating the value of the podcast but normalcy is for the birds....”Read full review »

“I thought they wouldn’t notice. I know the Story only has one TRUE commandment, to rate and review the Story on iTunes, and yet in my folly I thought I could avoid this responsibility. Well, truth be told, I could. And I did. But then things started happening. My teeth flipped INSIDE OUT! Chewing...”Read full review »

“TSMBT was a real treat after I thought I exhausted all of the LPOTL catalog, and I felt I saved the best for last. There’s a painstaking attention to detail and tone that’s unlike anything I’ve ever heard. My skin is crawling every episode. Plump on it!”

“I came to this podcast from hearing their ad on one of the LPOTL network shows, completely unaware of what to expect, but I loved it! It’s essentially a cult-like church service as a framing device with a strange or speculative fiction story inserted as the “sermon.” Sometimes the sermon directly...”Read full review »
