    I love this show so much
    Kristin Holland is fantastic. I desperately want more of this show.
  • jilliantarr
    It is near impossible to hold my attention on anything for more than 5 minutes..
    That being said, this is one of the best, most captivating podcasts I have ever listened to. The narration, writing, and production value are all excellent and I find myself coming back to it for another listen every year. I am truly devastated that the show will only ever have 2 seasons because the folks who created this did something special when they released this. I feel grateful to have had the chance to enjoy the content and am holding out hope for a reboot.

    Creative and Creepy
    This is an excellent podcast. Amazing voice acting. I just wish there was a season 3!

    One of the Best Voices in Audio Dramas!!!
    I could listen to “Dr Malcolm Ryder” speak forever. His Voice adds to the SPOOKINESS of his Radio Show. I’d like him to do my VoiceMail Outgoing Message lol 😂. This is one of my fave Audio Dramas. I look forward to Every episode with its great stories.

    Just re-listened…
    Second time listening and it’s even better. Creative concept, UNBELIEVABLE voice acting and original content. Truly appreciate the new takes on familiar tropes and horror paradigms. My only wish, of course, would be for more episodes.

    My favorite
    I generally like horror, and this isn’t terribly scary per se, but it is so creative. And it’s creepy. I love this podcast. It’s definitely outside the typical.
  • xxRiverwindxx
    A great podcast
    Simply one of the best podcast to listen to. Extremely creative and immersive. It keeps you hooked to the end. Hoping for a Season 3

  • (Walter55)
    WELL?
    Where’s the rest of the story???? Don’t hold your breath, it’s another orphan podcast, that has once again left the listener high and dry! They start out with a bang as this one did, the abandoned the listener without even a good bye!😤😱🤯🤧😪
  • JonEtter
    A Uniquely Midwestern Mythos and a Brilliant Structural Conceit
    First the format of the radio call-in show is extremely clever and allows for both one-off stories and ongoing storylines beautifully, especially with the inclusion of the “National Alerts,” “Today in Odd America,” and other segments. More importantly and impressively, Jac Rhys has create a brilliant, uniquely Midwestern American mythology here. As a listener, fantasy/horror fan, writer, and lifelong Midwesterner, I can’t say enough good things about this podcast.
  • Nlilweeze
    Great
    Literally the best podcast ever, I can’t even wait for a new episode
  • NedBin
    Best Scary Podcast
    I absolutely love this show. The stories and the main and other voice actors are phenomenal. The stories are so captivating. I hate the fact that I have to wait for the next episode. I listened to every episode and sometimes I listen to them again. I’m so sad though there hasn’t been any updates. This is one of my favorite podcasts!
  • NhwZbjyskjbdr
    Enticing, interesting, mind food
    I am really hoping they continue to make these episodes as it is my favorite podcast currently. The narrators voice acting is phenomenal. The creativity of each episode combined with how they are all interconnected leaves me wanting more desperately.

    I love this show and have been listening for a while, I’ve relistened several times and I need more!!!!
  • james bowie
    Great
    Great ambience. Great narration. Great story lines. Hope it continues
  • magicmurderfan
    Loved it-recommend
    Trying not to binge it, I’m savoring it. I’m having trouble finding more horror podcasts to settle in with,(I have binged so many) but this one is great! Only downfall is there is only 2 seasons so far. Keep it up! Love the pacing, narration, straight creepy stories with subtle theme. No outside gimmicks, no obnoxious ads, no political statements, just spooky stuff. I highly recommend.
  • Daveiii
    Great Voice, Good Stories
    The voice acting is super good, especially the man, the myth, the legend Dr Malcom Rider. The stories/segments are well written too but I’d listen to the good doctor read the back of a cereal box
  • Chainsawcat
    LOVE IT!
    It’s like a cross between WTNV, The Midnight Library & SPC. :)
  • Goofyelf
    Love this podcast
    I found this podcast the other day and i'm hooked. This is one of the best horror podcasts i've found to date.
  • Spectator roflcopter
    Incredibly rich story. My first Patreon sub
    Coming from nocturnal transmissions, I already enjoy our terrific narrator—but the story and the writing in this podcast is so rich. It’s like the perfect combination of horror meets Welcome to Night Vale meets Magnus Archives meets Lovecraft that blends into its own unique thing. There’s a perfect mix of storytelling and lore that build upon each other, and it made me realize that excellent world building shouldn’t seem or look like world building—and this show accomplishes that task. I only wish there were more content. The Odd America segments are simply the best, but the actual plot is very good too. Its become my first patreon subscription. I hope they keep it up.
  • JakeDo01215
    True horror
    It was more than just a radio show telling ghost stories. There’s a twisted plot running thru the different episodes and the plot is just too good.
  • session sf
    Too good to wait for spooky season!
    I started listening to this in August, and I quickly realized it would be *one of those* that is so perfect for October. But it pulled me in and would not let me go! I could not stop listening! (Shoot, is the podcast itself a paranormal entity? Do you think I should call in to the show about the show??). Lol. Anyway, this is one of those rare finds that is so bingeable because it’s really, really good. Try to wait and listen around Halloween if you can
  • Corvus Anduril
    Absolutely Awesome
    There are a lot of horror podcasts out there but this one presents horror in a very creative and stylistic way. The stories are great, the voice acting is top notch, and the presentation gives it a twist that other podcasts don't do. The creator(s) came up with an awesome idea and had exceptional execution. Too many podcasts have good ideas but poor execution. I cant wait for more seasons. Also, they should really come out with some merch!
  • aishah 123
    Keep ‘em coming!
    Love this and it’s so clever! One of my favorite story telling podcasts
  • endoda
    My favorite podcast so far!
    This podcast is honestly my favorite podcast I’ve found. I tend to be somebody who likes the spooky, creepy, and mildly disturbing when it comes to my entertainment (movies, books, tv, etc)… and this hits the mark. With an amazing set of voice actors, and the perfect amount of horror and unknown mixed in, this podcast delivers. I recommend this to all my friends, and would highly recommend this to anybody else as well. If I could give it 50 stars I would.
  • Prosody lady
    Sad goodbye
    Very sorry that this is no longer available as a free podcast as it was one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve listened to. Will miss you Drs.Ryder, Malcolm & Amelia. Prosody Lady
  • SteeleFireImpact
    Best Podcast Ever
    This is hands down one of the best podcast I have ever listened to. It is my favorite. I am always looking forward to new episodes. It’s so good!!!
  • Finding Pattersby
    A cozy horror
    This show captures the strange magic that exists in the divide between listener and broadcast. The call in show is one of my favorite phenomena. Tales of the supernatural+ horror combined with bouts of dark humor is a difficult balancing act that Dr. Malcom Ryder bridges masterfully.
  • lol noo beep beep
    Information needed
    I love this podcast but I wish they would’ve told everyone they were no longer gonna be posting on there podcast anymore. They said every few weeks they been dropping episodes but not on the podcast apps Would’ve been nice to know so I would stop waiting on it not everyone can afford To listen to the patron.
  • Austin luedeke
    Worth the patreon
    There are many podcasts out there that are decent but this podcast hits so many odd and mysterious areas that I had to join the patreon to support this story and the artist. Take the time to listen and theorize what everything is or the direction this will go. Highly recommend this.
  • Mayhem1234??????
    Fantastic!
    I find it hard to get quality horror podcasts with captivating stories. I get bored half the time due to many difficult to follow stories. Not this podcast. The stories are well written and keep my attention. Highly recommend. I hope you keep going and i would love to see longer stories with out quality reduction. Thanks
  • DeeLovely 007
    Soooo Good!
    This is really good! I’m stuck trying to figure out if the odd america stories are real or made up. But the narrator’s voice is awesome! Both soothing n creepy, I love it!
  • mistydawn82
    Weird, but so good
    Very unique format. I love all the episodes and can’t wait to hear more
  • FirstSonofBlackacre
    This Voice is Wonderful
    This has quickly become one of my absolute favorite podcasts. It’s creepy, odd, and always been interesting. The America that has been created here is a strange place (even stranger than our own America). There is an underlying mythology developing. It’s worth exploring. Trust me.
  • doobino
    Burned through ever episode in two days
    I’ve really been enjoying VFD, the production quality and voice talent are fantastic and the writing is clear and concise. My favorite aspect is how many different stories there are. One single episode might have three totally different creepy concepts. I appreciate the overarching narrative aspect but the scariest moments for me have all been in the “call-in” segments.
  • Avestia01
    I love this Podcast.
    This is a great Podcast. The voice Dr. Ryder was made for radio and podcasts! The writing is great too. This is one of my favorites.
  • JesscuhhTM
    Different, but delightful.
    The usual type of podcast that I indulge myself with is a novella story telling horror podcast. But I have to say that this show has been a different but delightful experience. I recognized Kristan Holland’s voice as soon as I heard it, I am a fan of his Nocturnal Transmission podcast. I will highly recommend this show to anyone that has a spooky side. Great podcast!
  • boopflute
    Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh 💙
    Had a lovely time binging this on my walk today, finding it spooky supernatural wise and very engaging lore wise. Makes me want to bring out the old red string and cork boards again 😭🥰💙✨
  • Ghjhgh
    The single best radio drama podcast to date
    The impeccable sound design and enthralling writing may spoil your ability to enjoy less fastidious audio dramas.
  • snifflepig
    Bite sized horror
    This is a fun podcast, just short enough for a commute to work.
  • Emmieshere
    Love love love
    I joined Patreon because I needed more but they never release episodes! They release maybe 1 episode a month. This could be the number 1 podcast but they just can’t seem to get themselves together to release episodes!!
  • baby harvey
    Five stars
    My favorite podcast
  • The-boogyman
    Amazing podcast
    After having “The Magnus Archive” withdraws, I was having a hard time finding another good supernatural/folklore podcast. THIS SHOW IS AMAZING. I’m nervous that I’m going too fast through the series but it is so good! 100% recommend.
  • Schreinerej
    Where’d you go
    This podcast was great until it move to patreon only
  • ForestWizerd
