If you’re a fan of podcast Limetown, or Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn you gotta give Small Town Horror a try! Same vein, engaging protagonist, and a fresh take on the “protagonist searching for answers” genre of horror podcast. @ creator DUDE!!! KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!

Love it!

The speech patterns and accents of the voice actors drive me a little crazy, and it's not exactly the fastest moving plot. but I actually really enjoy it. It's an interesting plot. I have no idea where it's going and I appreciate that.

Yikes

Starts off pretty interesting, but is getting drawn out. The way they talk is unbearable. " I don't know, I don't know, I don't know" I feel like every second sentence uttered is "I don't know" listen to limetown instead.

Excellent

I'm totally loving Small Town Horror! I binged the first season in a couple of days, which is easy today with the episodes only being around a half hour! It's spooky, intriguing, and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. If you're a fan of The Black Tapes and Tanis, this is a great series to sink your teeth into, and despite clearly having a smaller production team and budget, they really kill it. I can't wait for future seasons and this getting the exposure it so deserves!

Example of how not to do a fictional podcast

It only takes 2 episodes to turn you off this show, it's just not good.
First off, the host/narrator spends the first 2 episodes talking over a video tape that's supposedly playing. The medium here is audio, sorry but crunch crunch crunch of walking through woods is not compelling in any way, especially if your infrequent voiceover doesn't paint a picture worth seeing.
Second and this is really the worst...the second episode he's supposed to be getting drunk to talk through the video. Cue overly loud pouring liquid noises followed by GLUG...GLUG...GLUG...GLUG more pouring...GLUG...GLUG...GLUG...GLUG. So loud and uncomfortable, he's deliberately hamming it up for one and second he's got the mic right on top of the glass and on his throat while he's doing this, that is not a natural or believable way to record.
Talk about making your potential audience want to stab you in the throat immediately.

Started So Well...

And then just... Kind of started going in a circle. Maybe it got more exciting, I couldn't say, because after an episode of 'there is nothing happening at all right now', then a cliffhanger, only to start the next with five minutes of cyclical speech about the father again? Not to mention repeatedly going back to correct and explain things again, such as the 'kidnapping', rather than leave them without explanation and fill in those blanks later for suspense... I just found myself lacking interest. With some solid editing, this story could be amazing though.

Had Potential But Fizzled Out

I really wanted to like this podcast. It had a lot of potential at the start, but it's quickly fizzled out. The main character is supposed to be telling what is happening to him when he goes back home to his creepy little hometown, and it's supposed to be in real time. But he's dropped the release schedule to every 2 weeks, and now with the latest episode he's splitting the update in two. He's dragging it out way too long and it's making me think he has no idea where he's going with the story from episode to episode. If you're going to release short episodes, something better happen in them. He also sounds like he is reading from a book, not that he's relaying things as they happened and how he remembers them. It doesn't sound natural at all. He's using the wrong tenses. If you're posting a podcast about things that happened, you don't say "Sara says to me" you'd say "Sara said to me". Which may seem like a minor thing, but the listener is supposed to be getting immersed in the story as if it's really happening, not that someone is reading a printout to them. The main problem is the voice acting itself, as many people have mentioned. It's so amateur! The main character is so monotonous at times that I zone out and have to rewind. He rambles on a lot too, which would be ok and add to the realism if, like I said, he didn't sound like he was reading something prepared beforehand. The girl, Sara, is what made me finally quit the podcast. Her accent is terrible and the vocal fry is out of control. This whole story seems like something that would have been better in the written form, or even as a "found footage" type thing where someone found diaries and videos.

Totally intruiging and well done!

I was looking for a new podcast to add to my list, found this and thought I'd listen to the first episode and then I'd read my awesome book by James Patterson...very few things can get in my way of a JT book.
Almost 2 hours later I had forgotten about my book because I plowed through every single episode of this podcast instead! Sorry JT.
I cannot wait for the next episode! Great story, highly believable, and right up the with Black Tape Files.
So awesome! Thank you for sharing your stellar ability to weave such a great story!

Captivating and Chilling
