    Great performances
    I stumbled across this podcast and I love it! The performances are spectacular, and the ‘observed worlds’ are interesting and well built, I really love the format that they are unveiled in. 100% recommend!!

    👁️🗼💫
    You'll be tempted to pay less attention to the opening and closing of this show, but that is a mistake. The "middle bits" are great, but the real story happens around that. Fab!

    The perfect length to fall asleep to (if you hate good dreams)
    What would you get if you combined The Outer Limits, Black Mirror, Welcome to Nightvale, and a little bit of Futurama? Probably something that’s less good than this show, which manages to marry its many interests and inspirations into a cohesive, riveting whole. With a who’s who of creepy voice and writing talent rotating through the cast, and the perfect bite-sized episode length, this tray of dystopic bonbons is good all the way through.

    Great Horror Podcast
    It’s really well produced and well acted. Definitely give it a shot if you’re looking for a good anthology series that’s easy to get into and manages to make apocalyptic horror that isn’t overdone or completely depressing. Just good spooky content from a bunch of great creators. The voice actors are all from other great podcasts like The Silt Verses and Skulltenders, too.

    Delightfully spooky!
    A truly excellent found-footage creepy anthology podcast à la Black Mirror, with underlying lovecraftian vibes. Perfect listening for my late-night commute through miles of deserted body shops and used-car lots.

    Very strong start, but worried about S2
    It’s well acted, and the “broadcasts” are very well done. However, it appears instead of keep their (very strong) strengths, they’re abandoning the basic conceit and turning an innovate show into a rather boring and conventional show.

    Fantastic
    An absolute gem of a slow-burn podcast. The writing, acting, an production are all spot on. This is a deep and interesting podcast.
  • sonygreen
    Creepy, thoughtful, and addictive
    I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, but binge-listened this in about three days. It’s incredibly well executed, sci fi leaning horror I guess you might say? It gave me lots of chills, but also managed to be genuinely thought provoking without ever getting pretentious. Anyhow, I can’t wait for more.

    An enjoyable ride along the airwaves.
    As a long time fan of radio in all forms I was delighted by the premise of this show. I am happy to report that it did not disappoint. In fact the only thing that makes me sad about it is that the season is over and I have to wait for new content.

    Observable Radio 👍👍 & 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s

    Hooked
    I didn’t go into this expecting it to be social commentary but I’m hooked. I love the isolated stories and I’m excited to find out the bigger story happening to the MC.

    Holy Shyte That Hits The Fear Nerved
    I’m about halfway through a binge, and that’s already a greed sign, because this morning I didn’t know this show existed, and I am halfway done by 2:30 PM. This is in the genre of Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, etc, with speculative fiction-horror, the “science & society gone wrong” I truly love to chew on, because it is the only truly frightening stuff. I don’t know that the first cools episodes are the strongest so far, but they are very short, so you’ll get to the gut punchers really quickly. “Large Models” was perfect. This is clearly a resource intensive project, with professional editors, excellent writers, and a full ensemble cast. I hope to see more, but they will need a lot of support to pay everyone involved. I hope they can continue. Great theme music, also. Everyone involved is obviously so talented and professional. *applause*

    Great Podcast
    The is a really cool podcast. As someone who does a fair about of sound design, the editing on this is sooo good. I also love the premise and writing - it kind of reminds me of Twilight Zone a bit. Overall I’d definitely recommend!!
  • Mi22innoc3nt
    Absolutely love it!!
    It’s like looking behind the scenes of other worlds! It’s so creative and interesting. I’ve shown my family and friends this pod cast. Always excited to see a new episodes!! 💕

    Amazing Writing / Acting / Editing
    Love everything about OR but a special shout out to the writing, acting, and editing. It’s absolutely perfect and fits the mood to a tee. Can’t recommend this enough!
  • croakey88
    good writing with a novel concept
    I didn’t really understand how you can do found footage audio but after listening I finally got it. It’s essentially a mystery podcast with horror and sci-fi elements that unfold and paint an alternative universe with horrifying consequences. The show is also willing to show its influences on its sleeve, whether that be the cult classic Pontypool or the mainstream Black Mirror. You can see the influences but it’s not ripping them off and paying a solid homage.
  • AlexSteel87
    All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz…
    Sci-fi / horror AD enthusiast, this is crème de la creme of AD casts… low-fi style in likes of “Modes of thought..,” “forbidden cassettes: consummation,” “TMA,” “WE’RE NOT MEANT TO KNOW,” & (while geekin’ on my all-time faves lol, not low-fi style but…) “Malevolent.” I am hopeful for more, send my way more tasty waves caressing my brain! Intellectual, solid-production quality, it’s just chef’s kiss of understated genre programming.

    New favorite
    This podcast is great. It's strange and spooky and that's a very good thing. I lol I've the sci-fi number station theme and the story of the broadcaster we are getting at a trickle each episode is very good and leaves me wanting to know more every episode. This is my new favorite podcast and you should definitely check it out!
  • RachaelK12
    Please listen !!
    This is exactly the type of podcast I love listening to- we need more of this ! Every episodes ideas/ voice acting / sound is just on point like I have not one negative thing to say except I wish there was more! Thank you to all who have helped make this show!
  • Thewiffle
    Superb!!
    This podcast absolutely drew me in right from the first episode. I have been re-listening while waiting for more episodes- I haven’t loved a fiction podcast this much maybe ever! Highly recommend giving it a listen if you enjoy horror shows.
  • Kayla McFarland
    Eerie and awesome
    Top-notch acting, sound design, music, story . . . I love everything about this one. I love that you only get glimpses into the worlds, and not all the answers. Hoping the mystery unfolds as we get more episodes. Amazing work!
  • Dylermillions
    Wow!
    I’m so impressed with this show.
  • thinkdamnit
    Really loved episode 3!!
    This show is a slow burn. I’m really digging the eerie unsettling vibe. The acting is great and i also love that the episodes are short. The format is great because it’s not filled with a bunch of exposition. The story just takes off and expects, demands, that the audience keeps up. Great job!
  • MakeScottishAccentsGreatAgain
    Weird and Wonderful
    Great podcast, excellent voice and audio quality. Through 4 episodes and I can’t wait for more. Intriguing, dark, ominous, and compelling.
  • Sarahtdl
    The voice acting makes this one!
    The set up and story format gives the show a real twilight zone feel. But what brings the show from really good to great is how well the actors do their jobs- dialog feels very natural, and multiple talented voices expand each world so well. Creepy and fascinating! So glad I found this one!
  • burnunit
    Exquisitely sound designed and frightening
    The stories seem to emerge from a murky place, constructed out of captured signals, and imply a deep and deeply unsettling string of narrative pearls. I love the show, it creeps me out but doesn’t skimp on occasional dark comedic touches. It’s also tightly edited, so that its brevity is a strength, leaving you wanting more. Top notch!
  • obtusitivity
    I can’t stop thinking about the universe
    I’ve had the radio dialed to static since last night but it hasn’t happened again.
  • FurR33ls
    Amazing twists!
    That second episode reeeaaallly got me! Still catching my breath. Now for a Cattle Burger.
  • Shon Richards
    Strange broadcasts from another place
    I greatly enjoy this podcast. An unnamed Observer shares transmissions from unknown sources. These broadcasts gives the listeners peeks into alternate worlds with with their own sinister problems. The audio found footage format is really well done with great little details that reward multiple listenings. Each episode is roughly 10 to 15 minutes long, making it a perfect length for such weirdness.
  • layamur
    Intriguing
    Based off artwork alone I wanted to check this out! Can’t wait to see what’s in store!
  • 324_B21
    Sounds Great
    Looking forward to seeing where this goes. The preview sounded super clear, the effects were top notch, and made the expectations of what’s to come known and interesting (but vague on purpose).
