"oi! dickhead!" ahaha also, I love Rosie.
Tiffany
I'd been shipping John and Martin since they started interacting at the beginning. So nice hearing them with the "I love you." And I'm jealous of how you've developed their characters. Martin's confidence has really blossomed and John's slightly less of a dick. Hope this is taken as a compliment. I'm learning a lot as a writer about plot and description from listening to this, so thanks.
deeeeeeeeee
An amazing episode!!
deeeeeeeeee
Yes! That was the first thing I thought was wow! Spot on!
MuddyHippy
WELL.
Sinclair Cross
Martin's gone FERAL ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Margot R.
I didn't know I needed Martin to say that. Loved it.
Mantha Grant
WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!! WHOA! I haven't felt this entranced by an episode in a while. Absolutely compelling and horrifying. I can't wait for the next episode.
Heather MacKenzie
"I don't like them." That, Martin, was the understatement of the year. I do feel sorry for Rosie though.
Anika
Eesh that sfx bug noise was not a good time. I do enjoy the pupil of the eye wordplay though
Emmett Maguire
Wait, what? This is not where I expected them to be at this point.
Carolina Martins
finally the Rosie content we deserve!!!!
Jess Nicolazzo
WOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH 😱😱😱 So gooood!!!!! Incredible writing and sound design too everyone! Seriously outdone yourselves 💕
hrrng
elias has weird old man hair CONFIRMED
Edie
rosie ]]:
sasha haxell
this episode is WONDERFUL everything about it is great thank you so much
Caledon Corvinelli
Oh dear, that's not a good sign with 7 episodes left...
Bruna G
“Yeah... excuse us” I love Martin so much
Anthony
I'm back to listen to this again for the 40th time... Jonny and co, you have OUTDONE YOURSELVES, the pacing and the little details sprinkled in, things fans have been wondering as well as little bits of characterization... BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS LOVELY SUSPENSE AT IT'S FINEST........... I have full faith that whatever the end has in store for us it will feel at least twice as gutwrenching as the end of this episode, and I am So Afraid :')
Simplicity Fairbolt
edit: I thought he was reciting the Ritual speech at the end but nope, PDF proved me wrong. Still! More doom poetry! And I'm still out here screaming...
That Podcast Queer
I don't know what emotion this epsidoe elicited but it sure was alot
Weenie hut jr
THE SOUND DESIGN IN THIS EPISODE WAS FUCKING SUPERB!!
Elijah Harper
OI DICKHEAD!
Zorya Dolgushkin
I don't know what else to say except FUCK! AMAZING!
Laura Bailey
Just so delighted to see Rosie, give her a surname, and hear her story - and then so overwhelmed by the sound design for Elias/Jonah! So good. SO AFRAID.
Marie
The fact that they're already meeting with Elias/Jonah (but he'll always be Elias to me) but they still have 7 episodes to go makes me extremely nervous.
Mimi Fischer
This was just wow.... and every assistant out there can understand Rosie - I certainly do.
Mordecai Sennett
weird q: since american podcast hosting things hate profanity is 'oi dickhead' going to stay in the spotify/apple release or is that a ✨patreon exclusive✨? follow up question: how much is alex sweating in fear that this episode will be nerfed for profanity?
Reanna _
I can't even process right now but can I just scream SOUND DESIGN I feel like every episode with incredible sound effects you all level up?! Like this episode was extraordinary!
Kate Sparrow
Martin's "Oi! Dickhead!" is a light in a dark world. This episode was absolutely stellar!
James White
I see that Bojack reference and it made me really happy.
AshGarnet
Ohhh. There's a lot in this episode.
corvidae
once again my name makes sense,
corvidae
HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT
Bruna G
I AM NOT READY Edit: That was amazing.
Jennyclart
martin seeing jonah levate of the ground caught in some endless statement loop: OI DICKHEAD
Lindsey Bradford
BRO I AM JUST SITTING HERE
Lindsey Bradford
BRO I AM JUST
isaac
oh NO
Alex Potts
this is one of my new favourite episodes
Anna S
I had been really hoping that Rosie would be receptionist at the Panopticon, and this was even better than I'd imagined. We got a whole Rosie statement setting the show into a different perspective. Loved it!
Mars
Right???? I was thinking the exact same.... Too many episodes for them to be there already.... What is gonna happen 😬😬
Mars
✨ O i d i c k h e a d ✨
Nicole
I can’t believe the theories were kinda right
Paul S
I thought I had been paying attention but Rosie seems like a new character to me. Time to go back and relisten to some episodes. I love how strong these final episodes have been.
Mckayla Bevan
You guys really popped off with this episode. DAMN
Paper Planet
Poke That Eye. Poke That Eye. Poke That Eye.
Maddie B
Incredible episode, just an absolute zinger. I am left with so much excitement and dread for next week. Also, the Peter Lukas impression was unbelievably good - absolutely nailed Alasdair's signature tone.
James White
Well... we got our Rosie appearance and of course her whole situation is depressing.
Rebecca Dupont
Wonderful to get another view of some of our major events in Maguns through Rosie. Also nice to see that Elias made sure to terrorize absolutely everyone within the institute, lucky Rosie...
Jamie Hilts
This managed to portray almost exactly how I felt when I was a receptionist, and honestly how I've been feeling at work since COVID. This was incredible writing and an episode that touched a fear of mine I didn't even know I had. I can't wait to see what happens next.
The Octopus Gallery
Hoo boy.
HoloXam
👏👏👏👏Very good epiosde!!!
gojo fujoshi
this sure is a podded cast........
Miri and the Grand Vastness of Space
i need to know if y'all actually got lottie back to record the sasha and elias muffled background argument, guys, i need this for my heart because i miss sasha every dAY
james
omg i've missed jonah so much
Gilligan Mungus
This totally felt like a be careful what you wish for moment for Jolias at the end of the episode. Rosie knows so much - assistants always do. We’re often taken for granted but the things we learn and KNOW.
Eben Taylor
oh also SASHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! EVERY DAY I MISS HER MORE AND MORE. !!! BRING HER BACK!!! AT LEAST LET US KNOW HOW SHE'S DOING ON HER KAYAKING TRIP WITH TIM!!!
Sam Symonds
Martin, babe, you dropped this 👑
Rebecca Godden
Martin: *looks at all seeing omnipotent being* Martin: “oi dickhead” Season 5 Martin isn’t messing around 😂
Eben Taylor
I can finally check off "canon Rosie appearance" from my MAG finale bingo card. This was an amazing episode!!! The sound design at the end was amazing, I've gotta read the transcript for this one
Elfie Oakwood
Ooh that chanting is so cool!! I would really like a mix of it. ~Lofi eldridge chanting beats to sleep/relax to™~
Owleics
The sound scaping on this episode was really good, i esp liked the parts where it was jumping around from pre-apocalypse and during the apocalypse during rosies statement. It was so jarring and really effective in setting the tone
Mason Jar
My little group chat was REALLY rooting for rosie to be in s5 and well!!!!! we feast thank you
Lurkin
The SOUNDS of the apocalypse rising around Rosie! GOSH
Jack Bird
Oh no
Jess Fisher
I can’t believe that not only have we finally got a statement for Rosie (aka the love of my life) but she’s SUFFERING?!?!? Jonah I’ll never forgive you for this
Lurkin
Goddd this is so good I'm losing my mind
jelmarose
S5 Martin just don't give a shit anymore and I love him more every episode <3
Griffin Irradiatedsnakes
seeing the episode title on monday thinking like...rosie? couldnt be, could it? nahh, probably not, would be cool though. and then getting to this and ITS *HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* A WHOLE STATEMENT, TOO!!! AAHHHH
Juls SK Vernet
oh my God this was incredible
Haden Cross
bro.
Devin Goodman
Now that I have my Rosie episode, I’m going to be selfish and up my demand to a full-blown Rosie spin-off. Just make sure it starts airing the week after Magnus ends so I don’t have to wait too long. Thanks 😘
twigletsaregreattoeat
Absolutely loved this and quote of the episode “oi Dickhead”, go Martin and still 8 more episodes to shred my nerves, oh my oh my 🥱
ray brantley
Y’all never fail to impress. 💕 thanks for another stellar episode, and I’m so ready for what comes next.
Ivy
This was fantastic. Favorite part: “Oi! Dickhead!” I really like season 5 Martin.
Julia Cameron

non-euclidian weasel
Don't mind me just sitting on the edge of my proverbial chair till March...
james evelyn
I DONT LIKE WHERE WE ARE AT AND HOW MANY EPISODES ARE LEFT OH NO OH THATS A LOT OF TIME FOR THINGS TO GET WORSE
ThirdFromTheLeft
OH MY GODDDD! The end bit tho. Those sound effects were INCREDIBLE. Love the jumble of statement words and the rushing sounds. It really gives you the sense of the eye of an eldritch storm. And !! So great to have jonah back. He's so fun to hate and so deeply entertaining.
LainyJP
That was sooooooo gooood!!!
Eli Labat-Angstadt
It ends right there?? Oh my word... my heart is racing. Thank you, RQ!
sAZAndorable
HELL yes. this was fantastic. absolutely love it. a new favourite episode, start to finish. AND THERE'S 8 EPISODES LEFT! 8D
