this podcast show is so fun! and funny!! I give it 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ all day long!
LOVED the Jaws-inspired Duck-story! :D
I love this show but this episode had me rolling with laughter at times. You have to love the connection these guys have.
The first season did a great job of bringing the characters together, and that final episode was epic. Halfway through the first episode of Dead Light and already can't wait for the next one to get posted. Brilliant work my dudes.
Hi. What are your episode/content plans moving forward? Once per week/month etc? I can see 11 episodes. Am I missing some? My personal Cthulhu podcast Innsmouth gold standard is, Into The Darkness, but you guys have set off well. Keep up the good work. I thought Cantstanyerbits was an eye roller at first, but had me chuckling every time. The humour - roleplay - keeping - production balance works well.
Hello. Really enjoyed what I've heard so far. The atmosphere/production works well.
I'm enjoying it a lot. I got a few co workers listening too. great for passing the time at work.
Great listen. The production is put together really well. Love the intro and character voices. I’m not a gamer so it took a minute to understand the concept of the game and how it all worked. I was sucked in after the second or third episode. Very comical yet suspenseful.
Great show! it took a bit to get used to the format, but it brings me back to my gaming days.
will do. I never had a chance to play call of cthulhu, so I'm stoked that you are broadcasting. stay safe and sane. for as long as you can, anyways. bwahahaaaaaa *slithery sounds*
Great show so far. Music and sound effects are well done. Looking forward to more episodes.
Cool, a new cthulhu podcast for my birthday, thanks!
