One of the Best Podcasts I've Listened To Before

I've listened to a lot of podcasts, pretty much binge them. I started listening to The Magnus Archives when it was in its third season. You definitely want to start at the beginning so you don't miss anything important though! Initially, it took me a couple of listens to get into the first episode, now that episode is one of my favorites. They took the anthology and weaved it into this wonderful story that was thoughtful from beginning to end. I re-listen to it all the time (like I would re-watch my favorite TV shows) because it is that good!

Horrifying and Brilliant

I cannot recommend The Magnus Archives enough. Brilliant, intricate storytelling, superb writing, excellent voice acting and production quality, with all the bone-chilling horror you could want. The protagonist is Jonathan Sims, newly appointed Head Archivist for The Magnus Institute, given the task of organizing the archives of statements taken from subjects who have experienced paranormal events. As the series progresses, seemingly unrelated events are tied together to reveal an overarching storyline that becomes more incredible as it goes along. The series is in its 5th and final season. The entire cast and crew is beyond talented and I'll certainly be interested in what they do next.

You need this in your life

So, I started this podcast two days ago...I'm already into season two, and this is AMAZING. I'd call this binge worthy, terrifying, and hilarious. The salty narrator cracks me up, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror podcasts and interesting horror stories. :-) ~K.

Great Anthology Horror!

If you're looking to scare yourself, this is the perfect podcast to do it! Jonathan Sims did a great job at writing these stories, it's not easy writing 200 stories. While this is a Anthology horror podcast, I love the fact that some of these stories are connected one way or another. The format is great, the meta plot is awesome, because this podcast is not only about someone reading scary stories, there's more to these characters doing this and it's amazing! Voice Acting is incredible considering all the challenges they went true, the score and audio editing is phenomenal. And if you're looking for more, they have a 'sidequel' "The Magnus Protocol" really recommend it!

the supreme horror podcast

A truly memorable horror podcast. I listened to this for the first time a year ago and I have been able to remember specific episodes in their entirety. Every episode is brilliantly written, and it's very easy to get obsessed with this. The plot is hooking and each story feels unique but, at the same time, all connected. Would really recommend, have told everyone I know about this amazing podcast and will talk about it to anyone who will listen.
