Mesmerizing
The world building and mythology is so immersive. The author and actors are truly committed to bringing such a tragically insightful world to life. The characters’ evolution is so remarkable and unexpected. This story will linger for a very long time and will provide much to chew on.

Extraordinary series
Top tier writing, characters, world building, direction, & acting. The sound design is well executed, except, for the execution of a small percentage of God creature sound design in early chapters. By S3., the sound design is consistently excellent and enveloping. Scoring is minimal, which is a bit curious however, the way music is used is impactful, moving the plot forward. This review is revised from an earlier draft with it’s quibbles. The Silt Verses joins a small coterie of the greatest original Cosmic Horror podcasts, (i.e. The Magnus Archives, The White Vault, & Night Vale) 5 enthusiastic stars .

Ten stars
One of the joys of this podcast is hearing the actors, production, and writing absolutely take flight and leave no crumbs especially by the 2nd season. The acting in the 3rd season gave me chills constantly. Content: Truly horrifying. Finally a drama that is horrible while still preserving human dignity, which means you really know how horrible it really is. The fictional mythology is stunning, gut wrenching, and most fascinating of all, believable. The characters are so real. Each character behaves exactly like themselves, and all of us know someone just like each of them in real life. I am 2 episodes from the end of season 3 and I expect to cry. Thank you, Silt Verses.

Refreshingly profound!
Finally, intelligent and thoughtful writing that isn’t pretentious! I found this podcast and am obsessed. Very unique perspective on politics, religion, ego, humanity, just wow-HIGHLY recommend. Not for casual listening, it’s poetry at times, with searing messages and believable characters. Super impressive plz give it a shot

GOAT
Greatest audio drama of all time, maybe the greatest work of fiction of any media I’ve ever consumed.

Well done horror, it will mesmerize you.
A great show that will draw you in to its twisted world.

Never listened to the Silt Verses

Blown away
As a long time student of cosmic horror and weird fiction, this is a project that Lovecraft would marvel at. (Sans-prejudice). It's a beautifully cared for and masterfully crafted audio drama that's worth every minute of your time. The cast is talented and entertaining and the plot is highly unpredictable.

Wow. Just wow…
I just finished listening to all 3 seasons in order, and I am again just blown away by this series. Kudos and deep respect to the writers for the universe they created. The voice actors are all stellar, and the soundscape really made me feel like I was “there” with the characters. The Silt Verses never gets old, rather each time I listen I make more connections and pick up on deeper themes.

Heartbreaking
The best audio drama I’ve had the pleasure to listen to, and so beautifully intertwined with connections to the world we live in today.

Just finished, and absolutely gutted
Bravo! That's all I can say. It's all I have left.
Drew' s Clues
Amazing
One of the best of its kind. Well written, original, and exciting. Carpenter is also wonderfully portrayed by Meabh de Brun and just an overall amazing character.

Binged
This is a such good show that I binged. And then found their Patreon so I could feel not guilty for consuming such good content for free.

Sound design is so good I get scared
My title says it all — I forget sometimes how they do the sound design and my head literally whips around when there’s a scary sound 😭😭love how they do the intros too it’s so interesting. I’m only 6 episodes in so can’t speak fully to the story but all bodes well I love this show and these creators so much but this last season the character of Paige has driven me absolutely crazy (?!) anyway still will listen but I often need to skip over the writing of those parts

Love the show!
I really enjoy the Silt Verses. I am starting season 2 and what i appreciate most is that the world created is so its own. Listen and let it draw you in.
SingThat
phenomenal
listened to tsv after i am in eskew Changed Me and it absolutely lives up to the hype! one of the best fiction podcasts out there on basically every metric. writing, acting, sound design, it’s all fantastic. cannot recommend it enough.
junkbones
Excellent
This and I am in Eskew are excellent. This is creepy and gripping with an amazing plot.

profound and stunning
incredible ideas, incredible writing, gorgeous sound design. there are moments of horror and betrayal in this that will take ur breath away. listened to the first two seasons in a fugue over three days and will be relistening frequently between episodes of season 3. my friend who’d already listened is pushing me towards running a game of the ttrpg with them. pray for me (DO NOT DO THAT!)
Nikomedes
Engaging world, deep characters
What if Lovecraft’s stories had more depth and a connected story (and he was less problematic)? You would have the silt verses. If you think you’ll like this kind of show, then you will. It’s extremely well done. Production is amazing, actors are great. I can’t say enough about this show, just listen to it.

Best Horror Podcast Out There
This podcast is SO good. Production, writing, voice acting, and overall story are all fantastic. Mind the content warnings for horror stuff, but if you’re a horror fan, you’ll love this.
ThisWarofYours
Beautiful Acting and Worldbuilding
This podcast feels exactly like an old radio play. No gimmicks to explain why it’s being recorded, just gives us the story and action and also cleverly weaves the credits into the narrative. Not overproduced with sound effects that drown out the fabulous acting. Love the exploration of new religions without soul and old religions corrupted.

A favorite
The sounds and story are lush and full, the characters are dynamic and interesting, this drama joins my top picks when people ask what podcasts I love.

It’s so good
Honestly maybe my new favorite podcast.
nickname 1939372
Quite probably my favorite podcast of all time
I keep trying to write a long and eloquent review about why, but I'm helpless to encompass just how well it does everything I care about in a story. Also, the imagery is both unique and exquisite.

The Closest Thing to a Perfect Podcast I’ve Experienced
Magnus Archives. OGOA. SCP Archives. Malevolent. Creepy. Nocturnal Transmissions. I’ve absorbed tens of thousands of hours of horror podcasts. If Silt Verses isn’t the top of that mountain, I don’t know what is. I legitimately can’t think of something they don’t excel at. The voice acting is unparalleled (Meabh de Brun has my favorite voice on earth), the writing is award worthy, and the production is outstanding. Any creators who are getting started or trying to improve should be studying TSV religiously, pun intended.

Best of the Best
As a chronic audiodrama listener, this podcast has shot up to an absolute stand out favorite of mine since it came out. The voice actors put forth incredible performances, and the writers keep you in that sweet spot of showing and telling. With every reveal and turn, I want to immerse myself further into the silty world.

There’s something special about this
I listen to a lot of audio dramas . The world building and writing in this is second to non . Such a new creative concept . Couple episodes are groundbreaking for audio dramas in my opinion . Sound engineering is excellent .

Incredible Horror in a Well Developed World
If you’re able to look past the questionable audio quality of the first season, this really is a REALLY well done story. The characters are fun, their VA’s very well chosen… and the world concept is absolutely chilling. They do a wonderful job of depicting body horror while wrestling with the moral questions brought in by a corporate world dealing in Lovecraftian gods. But if you REALLY don’t like body horror I would skip this one. It’s definitely not my favorite form of horror but I do really love the story.

Just fantastic
This is an addictive, incredibly well written show that at times reaches high points few things do these days. It is an original and well thought out world with absolutely brilliant characters who are played beautifully. Truly the best, most consistent audio drama in existence.

Immersive and weird wonderful story concept
I love the whole concept and story design. I am only 4 chapters in and the immersive soundscape is amazing. Rusty Quill really found a wonderful gem with this one!!
Hyzyn
Insanely Good
I dunno what these people be smoking, but I want some and I want it now. Top tier writing, even better voice acting. Hardcore Lovecraft vibes mixed with a grip of theological old world story telling. Completely unique in a world of mediocre audio dramas. 100/10

So Well-Written
Creative setting and great characters. This is the type of writing that we don't get ready access to these days. Fully engaged in this story, keep it up!

Incredibly Absorbing
I did not expect what high quality writing and acting could exist in a podcast. The story , character development, it’s all there. I’m obsessed.

Dark, Beautiful Prose and Stellar VAs
This is currently my favorite podcast. And by that I mean I’m kind of obsessed. Okay, really obsessed. The writing in this show is absolutely beautiful. I have listened to the available episodes 3 times already. The dialogue is pretty good, sometimes great. The real beauty of the show is in the monologues though. Carpenter and Faulkner are both amazing in their monologues. They each bring a unique perspective and energy to what an being described, and the show really shines when they monologue back and forth in reverence of holy revelations. I am so happy the show is back from break. I cannot get enough of the world of TSV. Please keep this show going for a long time. (I also adore Eskew!!!)

Man, this is great
I’m only three episodes in, and I’m totally hooked. Thanks for the excellent work.
Big Pauli
Outstanding!
This is hands down the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. The quality and creativity that this is crafted with creates an engrossing experience from chapter one. The cast is excellent and delivers quality performances every episode. I literally have nothing to complain about here. My educational background is in creative writing with an emphasis on fiction and from a professional standpoint this is not only enjoyable to listen to but also really refreshing.

Engaging writing - but the audio quality is terrible
This is unlistenable without headphones. The audio levels are ludicrously low, which is a shame because the writing and acting are very good.

Stellar
PHENOMENAL horror podcast, better than just about any other one out there
GlubShito

Silt Verses takes fascinating ideas and characters and makes audio drama into a true art form.
