I found this podcast after the magnus protocol began making episodes and cole wrote the most recent one. I absolutely loved the episode and really have only found the magnus archive that I was brave enough to put in the time and commitment into. But having lost that binge, I tried the town...Read full review »

If you liked Midnight Mass on Netflix, then this is probably for you.

I found the way that they explained things to be very relatable and though perhaps not the most efficient, more honest and precise, which I very much appreciated! They found ways to explain emotions that don’t have words that a-lot of people very much identify with, which was cool!! It’s like if...Read full review »

This well produced podcast suffers from the need for better writing. I wanted to like it but just could not wrap my head around some of the descriptions.

Bland delivery

I’m all for starting a story in the middle of an event. But if you’re going to do that add some back story and content. You go into the story blind and give up because the story is just confusing and makes no sense.

So, this was my first horror podcast I’ve ever listened to, and I got into it pretty quick. Unfortunately I started season 2 before starting season 1 on accident, not paying attention. So I was confused a little bit of course. But I went back and started the podcast correctly, with season 1. The...Read full review »

I loved this pod!! I’m a horror fan and am always looking for good narrative audio in the genre and this hits the spot. Excited for season 2?? Please? Ha
tristaannmarie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/22
This is well produced, and pretty well acted, but my god is it tedious. I tried with season one and gave up after 3 episodes. I saw on Reddit that season two was better so I gave that a go. I have listened to hundreds of podcasts so maybe I am tough to please but I am forwarding through huge...Read full review »

I love it so interesting
samnie69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/22
Others may enjoy this but For me this was very dull with flat narration also Over written trying to be clever and using three words when only one is needed Have enjoyed other rusty quill podcasts so was surprised by this one 🤷‍♂️
Islandd03 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/29/22
There’s a lot of great potential for characters, plot lines, and horror, and when the moments hit right, you see the real potential of the show shine through. Some amazing character writing and sound scaping. However, these moments are far between, and the episodes feel like a slog to get...Read full review »

Story is engaging enough but the theme song gets old pretty quick and the villain’s voice is terrible, presentation Leaves a bit to be desired but a good story overall, I would recommend it
ackpach via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/22
Love you and your story’s!
Zoedawg20048 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/22
I don’t listen to a lot of narrative horror but this felt like a great introduction. The characters are so awesomely portrayed and it feels amazing being able to make the connections between them with each episode.
JinxDelareMaora via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/22
I just found you from a review on your other show which I wish you’d do more episodes for! 🥺😭 please! Tales by Cole is sooooo good! Can’t wait to get into this! ❤️
Lolita186 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/22
Cole does such an amazing job! I’m looking forward to seeing what the “new blood” will bring. 😀
The Niz M via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/16/22
This podcast is so good. Full of creepy mystery horror. I give this show two 👍👍. Keep the mystery going. I would definitely recommend this show.
DazedDawn via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/05/22
I listened to the three prequel episodes for Season 2. Intrigued and enjoying the premise — in part because it’s comfortable and I’ve heard variations of it quite a bit — I decided to play it safe and go one at a time on the downloads. Well, they managed to lose me half way through the first...Read full review »

This is one of my favorite podcasts very well done amazing talent by Cole and keeps me coming back for more! I enjoy it so much thanks for everything and some chicken skin to boot!
Holualoa Girl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/22
This show seemed somewhat derivative at first, but if you stay with it, you’ll see that there’s more than meets the eye… or ear, or whatever. Just listen. Great horror for horror people.

Content is worth a listen but absolutely obnoxious format. Episode length is a bit short and the intro, Patreon pitch, and music eats up to much of my time so I quit listening.
Djdjdndjdiddkj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/22
This podcast is legitimately scary—madness, dark religion, cracking bones. I can’t listen to it at night or with headphones, but I am fascinated with the story.
bbb292 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/22
I was only able to get halfway through episode two before I got frustrated. The storyline seems very interesting but if you are even a bit hard of hearing, the demons or whispers or whatever they are seem quite unintelligible. As the people these entities are conversing with don’t actually repeat...Read full review »
Mamaofjz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/22
The show is GREAT! Love the story, actors (could use more to give a richer experience, vs the same actor “slightly” changing voice). PLEASE give us longer episodes! 30 min/episode really helps, especially if… (keep reading) You are listening to the theme song incessantly, twice per 20-min...Read full review »

I randomly chose this podcast to listen to and since then I haven’t been able to stop listening. Definitely an awesome and unique horror narrative.
Rockisdead25 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/21
Great listen
alook92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/21
It’s a really interesting story. I didn’t read any reviews or even the description before checking it out and I was hooked within the first few episodes. It’s a similar story telling style as The Storage Papers, Gods of Appalachia and Alice isn’t dead. It has a similar feel and horror level. The...Read full review »

This is a great podcast I have been restarting because I cannot get enough I listen while driving to and from work and when I’m getting ready for bed
alinmyhead via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/21
I love the escapism and now looking forward to finding out what will happen next to the people in the town.
barbara the dog washlady via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/30/21
Love the story. There are a couple of voices I don’t care for
Upset@this app via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/21
Great concept. Great writing. Great narration and voices. My favorite is Mother Ciprian. Great overall production by all involved. This is well rounded talent and hardwork combined. Well done Cole.
MGP Terps via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/21
Great story line that’s completely engaging and original. I listen to a lot of fictional horror, and this podcast is at the top of my list. I look forward to every new episode with a new look into this twisted little town. The theme song is great. Don’t listen to reviews that say it’s too long....Read full review »
Artistwithpaint via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/21
Found this podcast after finishing old gods of Appalachia it’s within similar themes and I kind of like this old Timey way of storytelling.Also listen any of those one stars they all sound like douches, not liking the podcast for stuff like advertisements and theme music. They’re super pathetic
Some Day Writer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/21
Not a particularly well-written storyline or engaging narrative. Similar tropes appear throughout the podcast. There’s little reason to keep listening after the first episode unless you really enjoy that style of narration and plot point.
Swimekhe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/21
Found this while searching for something to listen to while waiting for Old Gods of Appalachia to return. Just started but so far I am enjoying the stories. HOWEVER, I like the theme song BUT wish that it was a little shorter. It has a good feel to it and all but it’s just so long. Other than...Read full review »
eward316 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/21
The story is very interesting and I like how everyone is intertwined with one another. I have seen reviews about ad placement but I didn’t hear any ads in the middle of the show? Also 🙄🙄 Please, leaving one star reviews because you don’t like the theme song how petty. There are plenty of of...Read full review »

I’ve been looking for a podcast to fill the Magnus shaped void and I think between this podcast and OGoA, it’s more than satisfied. Love the story, the family aspect of it makes it delightfully horrifying in its implications.
Yikes on Several Bikes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/21
I found this while listening to OGoA and glad I became a Patreon member of both! Keep up the great work - waiting for what comes next in the Town!
bme1965 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/21
Great show!
#kingnerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/21
Love how intricately the town is set up. This has been a wild ride and can’t wait to hear where it keeps going!
Hellcatkelly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/21
People need to make money, I get that, but reasonable podcasters put the adverts at the front and the back, the last episode of this that I listened to had multiple ads in the middle, why even bother with the production value if the immersion is broken every 3 minutes? I suppose that some people...Read full review »
Ounrg kundve via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/21
I skip music regardless theme songs are great but it’s overdone here. I get podcasts need ads but a story based one like this needs either ads at the start, the end, or placed in between thoughts not randomly thrown in.
jalbright9023 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/21
Yep, you read correctly. It's soothing and terrifying. There is something really engaging and interesting about The Town Whispers and I think it boils down to the fantastic narration which soothes you through the story and then the story itself with creeps you out and terrifies you if you let...Read full review »
Shaun Pell via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/08/21
The theme song. Please. Make it stop. I cannot tell you how much enjoyment it leaches from the show to have to hear that song for so long at the beginning and end of each episode. Especially when I’m trying to binge this podcast.
ididucan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/21
Good story and sound work are marred by frequent ads (understandable) with zero transition or padding jammed into the middle of scenes - just a sudden jarring jump from creepy narrative to advertisement. Even just an extra quiet second or two before the ads would be a big improvement to listening...Read full review »
Groksocket via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/21
Way to many ads that are poorly placed. This is a less entertaining Tanis or Rabbits. Complete knock off! I had to unsubscribe🤷🏾‍♂️
Aehsir via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/21
Please for the love of God get rid of the song! Or if you insist on keeping it, make it about half as long. I haven’t been a consistent listener because if I am listening while driving or my hands are occupied, I can’t skip it. Please make it stop. From the other comments you can see that I am...Read full review »
