YAY BASIRA!!!! (yaaay not having to wait 6 weeks because it's 4 years later!)
Rhia
the sound scaping on this episode really just blew me out of the water! amazing job as always and hope you all take care of yourselves during the hiatus!
Alex
I was wondering how you managed to crank these out even during COVID - 100% take all the time you need, and take care of yourselves.
Heather MacKenzie
I had the same thought with this statement. I liked it almost as much as the Stranger's "statement"
Heather MacKenzie
The free verse poem for the Hunt was almost as good as the creepy Stranger poem. Definitely my 2nd favorite "statement". The interaction between Martin and the Archivist in this episode made me realize that people should probably not start a romantic relationship at the beginning of an Apocalypse. It's nice to hear Basira again, I'd forgotten how much she and the Archivist have this hate/ tolerate relationship. What a good way to start the first break.
Rebecca Rain
My first episode early as a Patron and what a good one. I mean, they are all good, but yeah. I absolutely love how poetic some of the statements can get. Beautiful and haunting as they pull you in.
Paola Ivanna
im gonna spend the next six weeks thinking about these three looking for daisy. its silly to hope for a nice little reunion but oh well. love you daisy, i hope things don't end to horribly. a little bit of horrible is fine! just not too much.
Maddie
I swear to god Jon start telling Martin what's up before SOMEONE ELSE DOES
Mary Zorn
Her story was so tragic and the way the fears honed in on her and her family always felt pointlessly cruel. And instead of trying to appease the cosmic forces twisting her life, our Juju got properly pissed and hooked up with a cantankerous vampire hunting vagabond, who too often chased dragons as well. F for Julia, the girl who fought back.
Mary Zorn
Ah yes, a fellow affenciando of those unconscious, lovely little fightened sighs and squeaks and gasps. Magnus feeds us well.
Mary Zorn
You beautiful wonderful awful people, how dare you give us such a *terrific* cliff hanger. (Already preparing my Do You Remember that 3rd Day in September dance vid to celebrate return)
Lasgalendil
30 cents a day is NOT ENOUGH money how do I pay these people more the suspense the sass the Martin squeaks...
Oltanya
serious high-school flashbacks
PensAreIllegal
I'm relistening and now that I'm not shaking in terror Jon's nonchalance to Trevor has me in hysterics
Citruslusche
okay first if all. i never wouldve thought i liked julia so much as to cry about her but here we are. and also this is how daisy could still be alive and well plays on repeat in my head rn
Io
This was great! Don't know how many times I rewound the conversation in the beginning. Martin complaining about being "stalked through the woods!" was especially pleasing to my ears, for some reason. And that ending!
Of Winter
I am feeling so many things right now
LainyJP
I had decided that I would hold off listening for a few weeks, so that I would be closer to the beginning of Act II, giving me something to bridge the weeks of hiatus. I lasted 2 hours. 😞 It was a great episode to end Act I with!
jayce plantenberg
amazing soundscaping, amazing performances, can't wait to see what the rest of the world thinks
Gilligan Mungus
Asking the important question we’re all thinking. 👍
K. C. Millheiser
The best episode in a season of stunning episodes. Very satisfying last ep before the hiatus!
Elizabeth Sparks
So when is that Hunt coffee mug going to be available for purchase?
Arcturus
Holy shit that was SO MUCH FUN. That was a fun ep oh man. Best of luck to y'all in the hiatus!
cecilfae
THIS WAS DELIGHTFUL
Mark Sutton
That didn't end as I was expecting, but it does provide a good end for the act. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Gilligan Mungus
That was the best part of the episode. I’m so glad it came after Trevor - helped ease the downer-ness of it all.
GriffinsTreehouse
I yelled “son of a BITCH” far too loudly when the episode ended. You guys are evil and I love it
Gilligan Mungus
Oh poor Trevor. The only good thing in his life - his found daughter - and she died before he did. I truly feel awful for him. ☹️
Mantha Grant
what a fantastic episode. Time to do 6 weeks of frantic fanart in preparation for Act 2 <3 thank youuu
sasmus
BASIRA MY LOVE!! Oh this was really nice episode!!
Lurkin
Oooh a fantastic listen! What a tense episode... Any kind of hunting and stalking reaaallly spooks me. Anyways, excellent as always - Hope you all have a good hiatus.
ttroutlaw
WHERE IS OUR GIRL ^^ also same need to take a damn NAP after that
Megan Aguilar-Ames
Oh man you guys got me. good christ I need to lay down
james evelyn
cant believe jon and martin ANNOYED basira into believing its really them. i know theres the apocalypse and all, but this is still the best timeline
Idris
my hands are literally shaking! let's do this!
Moonwatcher13
oh dear, oh dear, I don't like the warnings. Edit: Ha ha, hahahahahaha. Oh you teasing fuckers.
