One of the best!
This podcast is one of the few that is in the “Elite” group. Stories are awesome.

Extremely good!
This is one of the two best horror fiction pods in existence. The quality of these stories transcends any narrow “media modality” or genre boundary; these stories are in many cases first-rate short-form fiction. This is freaking literature, folks. Bravo!

Underappreciated
I love this podcast, I’m a huge horror fan and these guys are obviously very talented writers that come out with bangers frequently. Even if the story isn’t something I think I’d be into normally, I get surprised with how easily I become invested with it anyway. Finding this podcast was a bit of an undertaking since it was never in my recommendations via the Apple podcast app, but on reddit. I was pleasantly surprised that they collaborated with the NoSleep podcast last year and I hope they do more collaborations in the future, like they talked about on the Decade of Dread Retrospective.

Horribly Wrong
Writing & producing 31 days of original fiction is a Herculean undertaking and TWS kills it every October. This year’s season has been terribly terrifying and hauntingly heartfelt. Some standouts thus far have been, House of Shells, The Click of the Lock and Cameron’s Castle. THANK YOU for writing and narrating some of the best stories in the horror and speculative fiction genre.

Like OG Twilight Zone
I’ll keep this brief, since I’m positive plenty of others have dedicated pages to describing the high caliber of this show. Instead, I just wanna say how incredible the voice acting is. It’s just one man, and he’s clearly a professional, but I’m always impressed by his ability to truly capture the essence of the scenes. It’s hard to describe in words, but you’ll understand if you just listen to an episode or two. He’s able to really bring the scene alive in a way that feels genuinely spellbinding. It’s almost magical what he can do, and I hope I’m able to convey the nuance he brings to these stories, because I feel like I’m not doing him justice. There’s one episode, God Will Provide, where he plays an adult who stumbles upon their mother’s diary and begins reading. The narrator/host seamlessly vacillates between the adult and the mother (who’s a child during the events of the story), but also brings the true horror of the events depicted in the diary to life in a way that makes you feel like you’re reading it yourself. It’s not even like he makes it a movie in your minds eye - that would be a disservice to his craft - rather, it’s like he inhabits the characters, making them behave in an almost hyper-realistic manner, using only the subtle inflection of his speech to do so. He truly does bring these stories to life, making it feel like we’re in the presence of greatness - of history being made. I think this will be as fondly remembered someday as the original Twilight Zone is today; that the legacy of The Wrong Station will prove to be as important to the medium of audio storytelling as The Twilight Zone was for television.

Don’t forget the reason we came to this podcast
Its got to be difficult to hold to a very high standard of quality year-in and year-out. And for years you guys pulled it off. Of late, I’m worried. The endless 10-year retrospective navel-gazing exercise foisted on listeners after months of a very loooong summer off was a big ask, and not what we came here for. Long breaks, lower-quality material, and excuses are bad signs. Thirteen and Ghost in the Burbs lost me this way, and I don’t want that to happen at the Wrong Station too

Incredible Podcast
I’ve been listening to so many horror podcasts for years and this has always been on of my favorites, definitely in my top 3! The quality and production value is really great and I’m always just biding my time until the next one gets released.

Sticky
These stories have a way of sticking to the brain. On the 10th season look back episode ai decided to look back myself at the episodes and realized just how many years had separated the present from the moment I listened to them. Considerable time had passed but I can recall the stories as though no time had passed at all. These are sticky stories. An excellent listen.

Awful! Review of a 30 year old stories? And done poorly. They seem to be enjoying themselves m, so there’s that…. :(

1 of the few pods where I can’t tear myself away. Storytelling at its finest

Incredible prose
Wrong station is right up there among the greatest horror anthologies like knifepoint and Acephale. Their prose is second to none, and some of the wrong station stories are among the few modern horror tales I’d consider genuinely disturbing (in the best way). This show is the result of a team of passionate artists, and it’s always a great when I see a new episode has released

Fire Angel
The Masters of Dark Stories got me with this one. I came here originally for the offbeat, slightly dark, occasionally goofy clever writing and masterful voice acting-and the boys never disappoint. As a Northwesterner whose family goes back 5 generations and I have watched fires grow worse every year-this grabbed my soul. This wasn’t just a story, this was an elaborate, eloquent epitaph for the home we know. Bravo.

I’m not cryin, you’re cryin!
Fire angel just hit so many right chords, and wrong ones in the right way. I imagine one J. Bieber must feel some semblance of one former Mr. Oil executive’s bitter pangs upon diddy reminiscences. Good one. May they all burn with the rest of us, the kindling.

Distracting affectation
“Think” is pronounced “think,” not “thinkhe.” And “anything” is pronounced “anything,” not “anythingkhe.” The weird extra syllables the narrator consistently adds to the ends of many common words ending in “-ing” or “-ink” is very distracting and really takes me out of a narrative podcast that’s supposed to be enthralling.
which was the style @ the time
I’m so glad I discovered this Podcast
I really and truly love the stories they are weird, quirky, unsettling and sometimes flag out creepy. Thank you and keep up the excellent work!!

Great show, let’s cut the “viola”
Really great podcast. With respect, the outro viola is not unique, original, or spooky. It’s inexcusably atonal and lessens the rich vibes of the otherwise well-crafted production.

My Favorite Channel Indeed!
“The Hunting of the Lath Worm”should be a film… or maybe that would ruin it… Idk. 3 Cheers 🥂 and a standing ovation from yours truly. Thank you Rayanne

Love the show but…
Does anyone else hear the “k” that the narrator exchanges for words ending in “g”?! i.e. “going” becomes “goinK”!

If you say you provide content warnings…
Please actually update your website to include warnings. If you can’t do that, just remove the content warning link from your show notes. Not a fan of randomly encountering cat death (episode “Plant Mom.”)

Intriguing
My new favorite horror podcast. So fun! Really enjoy the wide variety of horror and the stories are not predictable. Thank you!

Love this podcast!
These guys are great! The horror stories are not only as creepy as they should be, they are also so much more interesting and well written than any other podcast that I have come across. The best part is the humor. Whether it is a comedic story, or just humor sprinkled in to a horror story, it can be very funny. I’ve been the guy walking my dog while listening with earbuds suddenly laughing out loud, making other pedestrians uncomfortable enough to move to the other side of the street. I am amazed with the speed and volume of work that they are able to crank out. Keep up the good work!

Recording Angels starts with an amazing, galactic premise
then squeezes and squeezes into a bitter little pill that I loved.

Great Voice
Narrator has a gorgeous expressive voice. Stories are mostly fantastic, the ones I don’t like I simply skip. Five stars! 👍👍
Jezz A Belle
some good stories
The host/narrator does to good of a job at sounding like a complete jerk and scum. id not let my niece or nephews hear this sick voice and im sure he will laugh about that. stay away.

This show was great…
I loved this show UNTIL they did this self righteous story called Nithing. I don’t feel bad for eating meat. You aren’t going to change it. Most of us enjoy meat! How lame this story is!!
Sparkey54
Just what I’ve been looking for!
Great stories that are creepy and uncanny. I’ve tried so many scary story podcasts but they all just are kinda… lame. This one actually delivers if you’re looking for a slow burn vibe rather than Paranormal Activity.

One of my favorite podcasts
His voice is so rich and intoxicating. I cook, I clean, I sleep, I do anything and I’m most likely listening to this podcast. I also listen to podcast to feel less alone, kind of as if there was someone speaking to me.

Stories that feel like their told to scare
This show is great. The narration is rich, the audio is crisp, the themes are widespread, even for an anthology. I have listened to the first few seasons in a few days. A note to the narrator: Did you know in “Flynn’s,” in the credits, you said the music was arranged for the viola and performed by “Viola Schmidt”?

Genuinely Spooky, Succinct Stories
If you’re a fan of single-narrator horror like Knifepoint Horror, you’ll love the concise and effective storytelling of Wrong Station. In a genre that often settles for traumatizing its audience with exploitative material, this show is dark but never mean. There’s a thoughtful playfulness to many of the stories. Through its mischievously unreliable, often interrupted narrators, Wrong Station explores a variety of creepy topics, rarely hitting the same narrative beats twice. Ranging from the grotesque (a man becomes obsessed with the cockroach-ridden crawl space inside his home) to the evocative (a family haunted by inherited trauma across many generations) to the blackly comic (a start-up received a strange box that produces whatever they desire, seemingly without a cost), Wrong Station is consistent and unpredictable. It’s always a joy to see what they’ll come up with next.

The RonK Station
Maybe one of the narrators has some regional dialect, but I’ve started to notice the way he’ll end D-words with Ts, G-words with Ks, and S-words with something of a hiss. I first noticed it in the episode with the mold. “The whole fridge was coveret in molt,” he said. She flincht, her stomach turnink. “That’s so gross,” she said. I tried tuning it out, changing headphones, playing it at 1.5×, but it’s hard to ignore—especially when it sounds like it’s weirdly intentional, because I’ve heard runnink, going, sayink, drinkink, and singing in one sentence. Another narrrraaaaator likes to reeeeead things in a pohhhhet voice… and by the time the rhyme she finds / has helped her find a metric pace / to read the line as if it is / some-thing that should be read just like / this I have gotten relatively / lost and I don’t quite recall / how the paragraph original / ly started. And sometimes they all read words with odd emphasis or pronunciation, like “settlement” as set-la-mint? The quirks of speech and pro-noun-ciation are just so off-puttinK to me I just can’t relackxs ant enjoy it.

Not the best out there
The stories are usually decent, if predictable, but the narration leaves much to be desired. One pronounces every single word ending in “ing” as if it ends with a K; thinking becomes thinkink, happening becomes happenink. It grates. Another reads each story and sounds like Daria’s mother telling ghost stories on their camping trip. It’s hokey and corny and poorly executed. Being free it’s worth your time, I suppose, but…as I said, after a while, it grates.

Great story telling!
I sometimes hate that my free time to listen to the wrong station is bedtime. I always set my timer to stop playing before the end of an episode so I can find my way back to the story. Excellent writing and casting, both funny and poignant. Sometimes caustic and crude. Give the group a try. It’s nice to have an array of podcasts in your pocket to fit your moods. Add this one to your queue.

Outstanding
Writing is amazing. The variety in these stories, that as far as I know are all authored by two extremely talented guys, is just remarkable. Never know what you’re in for, but all of them are 100% worth listening to.
CBdorian
Very Imaginative
The Wrong Station has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts! If you’re a fan of dark humor, Edgar Allan Poe, Vincent Price and The Twilight Zone, you’re sure to enjoy The Wrong Station. The narrator is a terrific voice actor - he makes the audible descriptions vivid in your mind. The emotion, sarcasm, nervousness in his voice, etc. just draws you in deeper into the short story. This podcast is definitely worth a listen while you’re working from home, trudging through traffic, cleaning the house or just enjoying it with a glass of wine. Can’t wait for the next episode!

I am in love with the main Narrator
When I hear The wrong station, I still do a head turn. I am in love with the narrator Voices, the person who does intro & most of the podcast are wonderful., There are many podcast to choose from, but The Wrong Station gives you something Extra. something really special as they paint pictures with glorious words. a banquet of descriptions that help me see the story’s so vividly. I want them to be longer is my only wish. Thank you from your Greeneyes fan.

Good writing, bad acting
The stories are all pretty good. Very descriptive. But man, the narrator is not great. I hope they get professional voice actors or something in later episodes bc some of the early ones are rough

This is the best
I love this show. It is the best! Creative and well narrated and spooky. Grill Marks is my favorite and has become an inside joke between me and my husband. Can’t wait for next season. One time I mentioned this show on my furry twitter cause I forgot which account I was on and the official account liked the tweet and I nearly died of embarrassment. Sorry about that, wrong station crew! I love your work!

The end?
Has this podcast ended? I hope not.

My favorite podcast in years!
This is such an excellent series. I love the narrator and has clear vocals. Too many horror podcasts try to go all “cryptkeeper” voice and it really takes away from the stories. These are full impact, gets-you-in-the-gut vignettes, and thank goodness there isn’t a huge amount of screaming or yelling without warning. I love a good mix of horror and wonder and also relief at not being in the shoes of the protagonists. Great work, highly recommended!

Found it!!!
I have been searching for close to 4 years trying to find a horror anthology worth listening to. I will be joining their patronage as soon as I can afford it financially.

Fantastic Horror
Love this podcast. The performers and the writing are both top notch. I really appreciate way this show handles sci-fi and body horror, the subtle world building that sends your imagination reeling to fill in the blanks and the less-is-more approach to sound design that lets the quality writing stand on its own. Thanks for everything so far and I can’t wait for the next amazing episode.

Wonderful Story Pod
I really love this creepy story pod! Binging it at work and I'm going to be sad when I'm fully caught up! If you enjoy horror stories, you'll enjoy this podcast.
