TLDR; 5 rating, scared the shit out of me, and I’m very much hooked.
Content warnings at the bottom. :)
Listen, I don’t want to hear that these don’t count. I listened to all 80+ hours of this story podcast, and I will count it goddammit. This is the hill I choose to die on. Fight me.
Anyway, I am DEVASTATED that I didn’t find this podcast before it ended. Literally months after the last episode, I finally gave into the TikTok recommendation and BOY HOWDY. I was hooked after the first episode, which properly helped me stay awake on a 12 hour drive to Florida by myself.
This show is unhinged, beautifully performed, the characters are so compelling, and since the bare bones are anthology-esque, there’s an episode for everyone. I think my one regret is that I had my first Buccee’s brisket sandwich while listening to MAG 18: The Man Upstairs (DO NOT listen to this one while eating anything. DO NOT listen to it after eating anything. BEWARE).
Favorite episodes: MAG 12: First Aid, MAG 15: Lost John’s Cave, MAG 22: Colony, MAG 26: Distortion, MAG 29: Cheating Death, MAG 31: First Hunt (Note: I’m from Virginia, and this one is just so funny with how simply wrong it is. We don’t have elk, for one, lmao), MAG 32: Hive, and MAG 34: Anatomy Class.
Rating: 5
Would I recommend? Yes, especially if you enjoy the work of Eric LaRocca, or horror podcasts.
