Dark Air with Terry Carnation

DARK AIR with TERRY CARNATION (2021 - ) was a really great podcast, with a little bit of everything (Drama, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Mystery, Horror, and Fantasy). And of course, Rainn Wilson (Radio Rental, The Office) as the narrator called Terry Carnation, is great as usual.

"Fictional podcast that explores the on and off-air life of Terry Carnation, (voiced by Rainn Wilson) host of a late-night, AM radio talk show on the paranormal."

Overall, this was a very interesting podcast, connected to the equally brilliant Radio Rental podcast series. This series is great for fans of Radio Rental and fascinating fictional podcasts. Hoping for more in the series!

A funny and well-written show (the Alex Jones parody is particularly good), but the immersion is constantly ruined by the adverts. A real pity and something that the Ron Burgundy podcast did much better...

It's mixes a nice mystery along with comedy. This is a perfect mix. Terry carnation is the best. But, this wouldn't have happened without radio rental. So we shall acknowledge that show as well. They are both great and they are both must watches.

Just adore this podcast. Really hope there's a second season as we approach the end of the first.

I wanted to also offer a different opinion re the ads. Normally I hate them but I find them absolutely fine on this occasion. Many are woven into the narrative as obvious product placements but work nicely within the overall silliness and general anarchy of the show.

The ads are part of the experience, like old radio shows. They are incorporated into the show and it is in a format you will enjoy as "part" of the show. The previous review lacks basic context to explain how the ads are placed within the show. Unlike other podcasts there are no ad breaks which take you out of the show for 30 seconds and then drop you back in where you left off. Instead they are often used as jokes, bits, and even plot devices. If you are worried about "intrusive ads" I recommend you give the show a listen anyway as the ads here can be comical.
