Zoo
Reviews
I stuck with it because I wanted to see how the story evolved. It was an ok story but the actors are the worst part of this whole podcast. You can tell they’re reading and they don’t act out their lines at all, it’s just flat reading. It almost sounds like they’re working out the script at a...Read full review »

It peaked my curiosity, and quickly become addicted. I really enjoy the characters. I understand that there’s this arc going on, which is fine but the episodic nature of it is great.

This has some quirks or weaknesses as other reviewers have noted I will admit to agreeing with some of them. I pushed through them as the overall story was entertaining enough. Here is why the 3-star review, I get it 2020 sucked but to abandon a story/podcast with no explanation or update is is...Read full review »

I’ve had a pretty rough month, and this podcast ( which I binged in less then a week, catching up on hours of audio on my road trip from Michigan to California ) really cheered me up & has easyily become my comfort podcast. I’m truly in love with it for multiple reasons and have recommended...Read full review »

Started well but the second series was a let- down for me. Why on Earth did they decide to opt for comedy ?

I really like it and how the transitioned from season 1 to season 2. Acting and production are good
pw122456 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/21
Seems pretty cool so far (9 episodes in) I enjoy the mystery and the occasional horror sequences. The mixed in satirical parts are a bit groaning and out of place though. I hope it stays dark going forward!

If you love the shows I mentioned in the title then you’ll love this show. At times horror and other times comedy it’s great. Also a great show for monster lovers ;)
Raven Lotz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/17/20
So the Joplin/kc was just silly but whatever. Tried to listen to the first episode a couple of times apparently forgetting that it’s just not captivating or engaging in the least.
therobi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/20
I stumbled across this a couple of days ago and have been binge listening episodes as I’m really drawn in by the story. If you love supernatural horror, mysteries and thrillers I definitely recommend this drama. I love Tanis and the blacktapes podcasts and this is in a similar vein. The audio...Read full review »

Season 1- good, basically the x-files Season 2- awesome, Amos is super cute and getting in to the details of how a zoo for the paranormal runs and acquires specimens really builds the world Season 3- the aquarium? But also some kind of confrontation with the less... ethical aspects of their work...Read full review »

What is up with the annoying background noises? Are they supposed to be spooky? Add mystery and anxiety to a dull narration? Well they don’t, I thought my brain was gonna explode in episode 2 when the dull humming in the background started.
Jennifer Mulraney via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/20
The first season was so good. I loved the stories and the spooky atmosphere. Season two was too silly and caper-y for me.
Heffsauce via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/20
Really wanted to like this but the narration just sounds like she’s reading off a piece of paper. Can’t get into it.
Ash8787421780 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/20
I love this podcast. It is one of my favorite, I’ve Relistened too it multiple times. The characters are fun, the story is interesting and the idea of The Zoo is so interesting. I recommend this show to all of my friends whenever the opportunity arises, it’s so good and I really am excited for more.

This podcast has helped me survive quarantine!😂 It has a great story and leaves you wanting more!
Happylistener🐘 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/20
The narration style is fitting since the narrator is playing a former FBI agent. The stories are interesting. All of the characters are engaging.
SkyeIsle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/20
Most of the time, the narrator just reads off a page in a total monotone. When she shows emotion it seems overblown. Can’t get into it.
B(5;7(67;5/ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/24/19
I am on episode 4 so far it is a lot of old case files. No real encounters. This could be so much better. Shorten the back stories and allow the FBI investor to do an actual investigation. If I wanted a podcast with random scary stories. There are a lot of podcasts that do that. I am going to...Read full review »

To everyone calling the narration “emotionless” “awful” or “deadpan”: the narrator is playing an FBI AGENT. Emotionless is LITERALLY the whole point. The stories are very interesting, and I’m excited for more
john66634 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/19
I couldn’t take the deadpan emotionless narration. I gave it two episodes but couldn’t take anymore after that. The story failed to grip me as well.
Poppunkpizzabeard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/19
Love this find, amazing and gripping
Wemble1 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/01/19
I got through 1.5 episodes and couldn’t take anymore of the awful narrations, soap-opera level acting. I just couldn’t get into the story.
PodCastGoblin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/19
...with the patience to stick with it. Episode titled “Perimeter” was one of the scariest things I’ve heard so far this year. The episodes about the giant weird tree-thing in the road was good too, as was the one with the kids visiting the Zoo. Mothman episode was lame, but by the time you reach...Read full review »

I really wanted to enjoy this podcast but I couldn’t get past the first episode. The narration was too stilted with unnatural intonation and I just couldn’t bear to keep listening.
dhsauers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/19
This is by far in the top 3 podcasts I have ever listened to. It’s amazing! The story line is so interesting and cool! I love cryptid stories and this podcast brings them all together. The acting is amazing! I listen to it over and over while waiting for new episodes.
Kamey87 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/19
The writing isn’t bad and the story is engaging enough. The attempts at humour fall flat and the delivery sounds like high school drama students reading a script. Still listening so I guess not having given up means the positive outweighs the negative on this one for me at least. Worth a listen.
enso. via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/13/19
Fun. Mostly good production value and nice plot.
CathChick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/19
The story was good for the first few episodes..then it just got goofy. Then like the narrators acting it went bad very fast. Singing as the Siren..painful to listen to,it was very bad. Then the PC rhetoric which was ridiculous. Funny thing is the narrator doesn't want to hurt anyone's...Read full review »

Super fun. I find myself replaying over and over. Can’t wait to see where it goes.
Vesyna via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/19
Zoo is a fantastic podcast for fans of Stranger things, X files, or welcome to Night vale. A wonderful synthy soundtrack adds to every story read by Mckayla Protagonist, and the writing is tight but with enough detail to be a joy to listen to. I love it! Thanks Zoo Team!
its midterms ans I am tired via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/21/19
Couldn’t get past the first 10 min. Person is just reading off a page - like reading out of a maths textbook.
Chvckw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/19
Meh
Ok if you are out of podcasts. Writers show how stupid they think people from small towns and old people are, but that seems to be the norm nowadays.
Ajbuda via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/19
I love cryptids. There aren't nearly enough stories that focus on them, so I was thrilled to find Zoo. I will admit, the acting and editing can be a bit wonky at times, but the writing more than makes up for that, and considering the size of the team making the show, the production quality is...Read full review »

First - obligatory 'Great and Unholy Devourer of Podcasts and related media... but first time reviewer'. There, out of the way. Second - If you are a fan of horror and storytelling, stop everything and throw yourself wholly and fully into this podcast, just like the creators clearly...Read full review »

Stories are great. Acting is.... ok. Sometimes tough to listen to, but the stories are enough to keep me listening.

These stories are fantastic!! Good job... 👍🏼👍🏼
Phat.41👍🏼 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/19
This show is great for fans of X-Files, Twilight Zone, or really any investigation or mystery based show. The writing is great and so is the voice acting! It keeps getting better every episode. Keep up the good work!
Weshjook via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/19
This podcast is well worth listening to! It’s not the most sophisticated thing out there, which may be why people gave it lower numbers of stars. But, this is still really well done and very entertaining. It’s a great story in the vein of Rabbits, TANIS and the X-files
grace2006 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/29/19
Pleasently surprised by this podcast! It has a similar feel to 'The Box' where you hear about a number of mysterious supernatural cases. Looking forward to the second season!Read full review »
Aewv via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/29/19
With a subtle and engaging structure and a plotline that fills the X-files-shaped hole in my heart, Zoo is well worth your time. The subtlety in character development for Agent Kespar and the professional descriptions of buck wild circumstances make for a fantastic slow burn mystery. Can’t wait...Read full review »

If you're into urban legends, cryptids, or wanted to get into X-Files but missed the boat and just can't make it work now, definitely give Zoo a listen. Great writing, dramatic and funny by turns, excellent sound design and editing with atmospheric music.Read full review »
