Great podcast

I don't often listen to podcasts and often dropped them, but the first episode of the Magnus made me listen to it till the end.

I loved the inspiring acting of the voice actors and the intriguing way the story was made. Soundscape was also inspiring, growing better with each season.

It was fascinating to watch the way an anthology transformed into a thing with a main, thick and unpredictable plot, and the way characters so drastically changed under the weight of their new reality. It's hard to listen to it and don't find yourself sympathising to the characters of the main story cast.

I would recommend this podcast to anyone who enjoys a good atmospheric story with great acting (and is okay with/loves horror).

the supreme horror podcast

A truly memorable horror podcast. I listened to this for the first time a year ago and I have been able to remember specific episodes in their entirety. Every episode is brilliantly written, and it's very easy to get obsessed with this. The plot is hooking and each story feels unique but, at the same time, all connected. Would really recommend, have told everyone I know about this amazing podcast and will talk about it to anyone who will listen.

Spooky

This is a great podcast. The stories are chilling and thought-provoking. The narrator has a calm, easy to listen to voice. One thing that could be improved upon are the voices of the contributors to the archives. Each story is supposed to come from a different person, all narrated by the same narrator, but they sound like they were all written by the same person. Perhaps some differences in speech patterns could be added in to make them sound like they're all different people. I'm still less than 10 episodes in, so perhaps that's something they'll adjust later on. But so far, great start and I'm looking forward to more.

Absolutely Horrifying

This podcast may be the best horror fiction podcast out there. I started the podcast with extremely low hopes but I was hooked by the second episode. There's a scare here for everyone, the show covers a rather wide variety of horror. There are times when an episode will sit with me in such a way that I just have to stop listening for a while. Plus the writing is fantastic, 172 episodes in and the story still seems so fresh. Not to mention storyline itself which has to be one of the best parts. You don't even realize how deep it goes until it's too late and you're in love with the podcast. I could gush about it all day. I HAVE gushed about it all day. Now stop reading this review and go listen!

You need this in your life

So, I started this podcast two days ago...I'm already into season two, and this is AMAZING. I'd call this binge worthy, terrifying, and hilarious. The salty narrator cracks me up, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror podcasts and interesting horror stories. :-) ~K.

Crazy credits
The credits for Season 1 contain a major spoiler around a season 2 mystery when crediting Evelyn Hewitt as Not-Sasha revealing early that Sasha was replaced a "Not-Them".
