“From ghost stories to cowboys on Mars and Laser-fighting superheroes, the Thrilling Adventure Hour is a podcast which replays segments from a weekly theatrical play held at the legendary Largo theatre in California. Drawing in famous voices like Nathan Fillion, Neil Patrick Harris and Padget Brewster, the show is hilarious from start to finish. While celebrities pop in to offer cameos appearances, the core cast are made up of familiar voiceover artists such as John DiMaggio and Mark Gagliardi; and comedians like Tom Lenk, Chris Hardwick and Paul F. Tompkins. Each week the podcast releases a new twenty-ish-minute story, recorded live at the theatre but clearly transferred to podcast. It doesn't sound muted or off-key - this is crystal-clear. The segments released so far include Beyond Belief - the strongest recurring feature - featuring Brewster and Tompkins as ghost-hunting members of the high-society; Sparks Nevada, a western set on Mars; Captain Lazerbeam, and his adventures fighting supervillain crime; and Jefferson Reid, fighting against the menance of the Nazis. Although the tone is the same for every performance and the casts remain the same, the performers are so talented with their line readings that each segment feels distinct and fully-realised. There are a few segments which don't seem to work so well - the 'Tales from the Black Lagoon' series doesn't hold the attention too much. But for the most part, Ben Blacker and Ben Acker have written a brilliant show... and you can download it for free! What a wonderful world we live in.”Read full review »

I highly recommend going to see this play, which boasts some...”Read full review »

“A genius and funny throwback to old-time radio, as they say, with enough modern comedy styling to be appreciated by just about everyone. Different characters and stories will keep you from ever being bored, and you'll be addicted before you know it.”Read full review »
