I hate how this slipped under my radar, this is absolutely fascinating. Brilliant display Mark's voice acting skills and a very strange story together make a great start! 10/10

[@hunterbarrett9855]

Watch Day 6 by RoosterTeeth, it's fantastic

[@GavinGWhiz]

Luckily enough, big companies like QCODE who cast celebs in audio fiction generally are doing so as backdoor pilots to test audience reaction without spending the funds on a traditional pilot/first season. Gimlet regularly sells the adaptation rights for their audio fiction series (Sandra sold the TV rights before it'd even launched). Which is to say: it's not unlikely this or any other QCODE property could get quietly announced as an original series by a streaming company in a few months.

They are turning it into a tv show and Mark is the executive producer

I was on time it reached on Spotify early but bruh I have been wating almost three years for season two or the show to come out it is getting pretty boring man listen to over and over but I still like it but there is other good podcast qcode makes like black out

[@YourBoyTrue]

Okay. I have got a few hours to kill, a case of insomnia, and a hankering for a story narrated by someone with a voice as smooth as butter. Let us get this show on the road, bitches!

[@mistral-phoenix408]

I'm glad there's a youtube video of episodes, Subtitles help sometimes, especially if you left headphones. You can hear the more quiet parts

[@racheltan3938]

I like listening to podcasts when I’m having trouble sleeping. Made the mistake of starting this at 2am without knowing the premise of the story. Legitimately could not sleep that night and ended up staying awake for over 36 hours straight. Amazing work, can’t wait to see the TV show!

[@CrazyManDigital]

I can say 1 thing for sure quite a few people listened to the Edge of Sleep at first because of Mark but everyone stayed because of the wonderful work that QCode and WoodElf did on it and everyone who took part in creating this masterpiece. Now before someone says something about what i said. Marks face on it would make someone stop going through and click play because peopls know his face and he also has a larger audience to promote to so i'm not saying hes what made this big im saying those who worked so hard on this is what made it so good also I am going to be listening to more QCode podcasts from now on because the writing on this is spectacular. PS. Have a great day to whom reads this

[@sirsimon6262]

When I first watched this my friend recommended it to me and I thought it would be relaxing to listen to at night before bed. Boy was I wrong. Now I make a tradition to watch this with my eyes closed in the dark

I don't think The Edge Of Sleep is Lovecraftian. There's Existential Horror but it isn't Cosmic. I describe it as a "Spiritual Horror".

[@little.mizzfit]

I have a question, I’ve listened to the whole podcast on Spotify, and I noticed there hasn’t been a new episode in quite a while. Is the podcast over?

[@mckena880]

I believe "season 1" is over, yes. However, QCODE's twitter recently hinted at a potential season 2, so maybe be on the lookout for that in the future :)
