    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.
  • which was the style @ the time
    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.

    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!!
  • MGP Terps
    Excellent - still
    Podcast. 10 stars if apple would add 5 more
  • Tynamite1234
    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
  • Lilmomma33
    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!
  • 457jdvyd
    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!
  • Steve in Santa Rosa
    Essential
    Highbrow horror. Stories with wit and often a dollop of dark humor. Original plot lines. I mean, take The Jannisary for example. A story from a woman’s POV of a failed date with a man who, as it ends up, is a lonely 500 year-old jannisary vampire, for whom consummation of the date would have been feeding on her had he not mustered up forbearance. Love it.
  • TimWB1
    Recording Angels starts with an amazing, galactic premise
    then squeezes and squeezes into a bitter little pill that I loved.
  • The Real Riah James
    Who said it was ok for these boys to be this brilliant
    Whoever it was, I gotta say thanks
  • Jezz A Belle
    Great Voice
    Narrator has a gorgeous expressive voice. Stories are mostly fantastic, the ones I don’t like I simply skip. Five stars! 👍👍
  • justasavage777
    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.
  • Sparkey54
    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!!
  • suffnomore
    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.
  • GGrannyOg
    I love this
    Over educated liberals are at their best when prone to flights of fantasy.

    Bravo!
    Thank y’all for this talented diversion from our daily drag! Always so very entertaining 🙌
  • sinfired
    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.
  • Picsnappelejax
    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.
  • Sean Scian
    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.
  • Soresubjects
    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.
  • Zorli
    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.
  • CBdorian
    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.
  • I Need A Cheeseburger ASAP
    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!
  • Hellcatkelly
    Fun short fiction
    A fun listen for the strange and unusual type short stories! A definite keeper for the weekly rotation☺️
  • Joli Gee
    Horror fiction at its finest
    What a great podcast. Always glad when a new episode drops!
  • grneies
    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.
  • mbark23
    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
  • Plaaaasjswog
    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!
  • Rick1500
    The end?
    Has this podcast ended? I hope not.
  • Oni no Tenshi
    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!
  • T.finley
    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.
  • TPicklesEsq
    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.
  • The Joy of Horror Podcast
    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.
  • StellaCorde
    Excellent Horror Podcast
    Wonderful spooky stories, spoken clearly and precisely. I love this podcast! Many thanks to you creators

    Exodous
    Such a well told story!!!
  • shaunalee16
    Great storytelling
    I love a good story, the weirder/creepier the better. This podcast delivers.
  • D0nt_slip
    Best of the best
    Don’t have a lot of words for how fulfilled I am by this content. Incredible writing, production, and audio by a creative team with a very clear moral standing. BLM ✊🏳️‍⚧️❤️
  • kelbaby1
    Resolutions are present
    Unlike a large portion of horror stories podcasts, these stories do offer resolution and are not just writers’ exercises in describing settings and little more. Little update after 10 or so more episodes from 2018 I think. I sincerely hope we veer away from the political commentary that so many of the podcasts feel inclined to disseminate. Not why we listen. One name for you after “Come and See.” Francis Collins: headed up the human genome project, which mapped for the first time in our species history our DNA.
  • Yotabunny
    The most chipper talk of the scariest things
    The scholarly vocabulary, and clear, calm enunciation are just plain elegant. The wicked, cheerful and creepy plots are unique. This podcast has class and humor. A few of them still linger lonG after I’ve listened. It’s the cream of the crop, the blood on the top. Easily one of the best.
  • Tea-biscuits
    That Old Radio Drama Feeling
    Fantastic show all around. The writing, the acting and production values are all really fantastic. The Canadian Gothic episodes are the real standout for this series, though a lot of the scifi is equally unsettling and creepy, with the same otherworldly vibe as a Beksinski painting. Honestly the only detraction is the screamer in the intro, an annoying jump scare when you’ve just had the volume up to hear the quieter stories.
  • RhodesyB
    Engaging & kudos for supporting BLM
    Personally place this right up there with both “Thirteen” & “Spooked”. Yes, it’s that good.
  • Roi SM
    Superb
    With its singularly well-crafted and unique horror tales, The Wrong Station is one of the gems of the increasingly saturated horror podcast genre. Where The NoSleep Podcast is decreasing in its writing quality, TWS stands out amongst high-quality podcasts such as Knifepoint Horror and the highly produced Campfire Radio Theatre. It should be far more known and popular.
  • DonGaudr
    Good stories
    I really like the podcast. For the most part I find the stories engaging and interesting. I can't help but wonder when listening if the narrator is Liverpudlian like a Beatle.I'm just joking because my stupid accent sounds American but the hard G at the end of every word ending in G reminds me of listening to John Lennon and Paul McCartney talking.
  • pinkzoesbb
    Love
    I am always so excited when new episodes come out. The voice acting is amazing. Every story is unique. I don’t know why it’s not more popular. It’s one of the best drama podcast out there!!
  • Poovh
    Good Show BUT...
    The hard G sound at the end of anythinG endinG with “inG” drives me absolutely crazy! Other than that, the narration and stories are great 😬
