[@argo0422]

I watch second wind, and also love audio/podcast horror (the Magnus Archives, the Pleasant Green universe) as well as horror set on frozen wastes (Sunless Sea, the Terror). Your marketing is eerily well-targeted!

Just starting my first listen while I prepare a trip to Svalbard that I've been wanting to do for years now. Wanted to say the community behind this podcast is making me so excited for this listen, haha. You all are a good bunch.

[@FoolScholarProductions]

Great to hear! We (the writer and producer pair) just went on our trip to Svalbard last year! There's a video about our trip on our channel if you want to see what we got to experience before you head out on your own trip! Have a safe and fun adventure out there.

[@Jauphrey]

@@FoolScholarProductions Just watched it! And I've just started season 2 which has been fun because I went to Chile last year. Not quite the same, but I studied a lot of the regions in that area--I'm uh...preferable to cold places apparently. ;) Thank you for the recommendation! I feel so ready!

[@FoolScholarProductions]

No surprise that we prefer cold places, too!

[@TheZombieSaints]

I've been listening to the white vault since it first came out. It's brilliant guys, just finished the last episode of goshawk and was gutted to hear how long until the rest of it comes out 😂 I realise it must take a lot to make it. So I'm re listening from season 1 to get my WV fix and I'm glad I did as I've already picked up stuff I somehow missed the first time listening. I'm also going to have to buy Iluka and the other spin off series 😂 I totally forgot about them!? 🤯 Again, really great podcast guys. Keep up the brilliant work 👏👏👏👏😍

[@FoolScholarProductions]

Thank you so much!

Is it being moved here due to Google Podcasts being killed and integrated in to Google Music?

[@FoolScholarProductions]

Nope. We have all our podcasts available on general podcast apps, but we also upload to KZbin so those who use KZbin can also listen. We know that Google Podcasts has been a bit of a mess, though, so we never recommend that platform for listening to our shows.

how can i listen to this in Arabic arabic?

[@FoolScholarProductions]

The show is primarily in English, but we have a fair bit of Arabic in season 4

[@ahmedl2n901]

@FoolScholarProductions Thanks nevertheless I enjoyed it in English. Keep going, you are doing great.

[@paulelliott195]

I was looking forward to this, it was highly recommended. Unfortunately I find the storyline too complex. Worse of all is the American chap who sounds like Clint Eastwood, I keep expecting him to say ' go ahead punk, make my day'. His voice is dreadful.

[@yougotfelted8297]

0:06 theme stolen from the thing

[@iunary]

So I take it this will just be The Thing? I mean you are already ripping off its music in the first 5 seconds.....

[@jelly434]

Hm. Narrator & much of the voice acting has the quality of a child reading their school project to the class; not terrible... in general, really lacking in natural delivery. Shame.
