2025-05-15 19:16:44 +0000 UTCThis is the second episode I noticed the click of the tape recorder

2024-08-20 21:30:59 +0000 UTCJust an FYI, the transcripts have the episode's title as "Good Show." Another fun one!

2024-05-20 16:08:08 +0000 UTCJesus christ I could see where this was going when they were asking where the venison was. Bloody hell

2024-05-13 23:56:10 +0000 UTCI am so intrigued by the fact that Alice recognised the tape recorder and was so spooked by it that she ran away from someone she thought was dying. “I’m sorry, I can’t” She has seen these before and she knows that they mean trouble. I think she realised that this was something paranormal and wanted nothing to do with it, that is how she has survived this long.

TheBeanShoppe
2024-05-11 18:45:03 +0000 UTCfantastic episode but i really jumped at some sudden loud bits. Idk if that's a mixing issue or just comes from having to turn up my car stereo quite a bit to hear it properly.

2024-05-10 11:54:14 +0000 UTC“Bloodshed and sacrifice” is not the same as “war”.
Gareth Green
2024-05-10 10:53:27 +0000 UTCDepends on the source where you look her up. Shooting down children in wild abandon because their mom insulted your mom makes people classify her one at some sources. No mention that the earliest sources that can be tied to her is from the Minoan period, is literally the embodiment of bloodshed and sacrifice.
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-05-10 10:47:33 +0000 UTCI think that’s Athena

2024-05-09 14:50:58 +0000 UTCThat was great
Ian
2024-05-09 13:57:20 +0000 UTCthe sound design for this episode was absolutely incredible. matched the impeccable writing perfectly
Kristsune
2024-05-09 13:06:31 +0000 UTCKinda refreshing to get a straight forward hunt episode
RoamingNPC
2024-05-09 10:57:50 +0000 UTCI love this show so much, but I’m begging Rusty Quill to please ensure the audio is still comprehensible when there are echo effects. I was listening while driving, and the opening and ending sounded like gibberish to me. I had to pick up the transcript later to have any idea what happened
Jeff Miller
2024-05-08 21:40:45 +0000 UTCAwesome episode. I loved it and am going to be theorizing like anything. However, this is the second episode in a while where I’ ve been frustrated by information that is clear in the transcript but not the audio. Without the transcript , I would have had no clue that there was a tape recorder at the end, which is a really important detail! And a lot of listeners don’t read the transcripts. It’s similar to how a few weeks ago audio only viewers had no clue Celia was waking up on the side of the road in her pajamas.

2024-05-08 16:52:34 +0000 UTCfeeling a lot of things

2024-05-08 13:38:22 +0000 UTCWas the lady at the end reading a statement or
Ambrose, First And Last
2024-05-08 11:16:10 +0000 UTCGod. Feeling alice more and more recently
Ambrose, First And Last
2024-05-08 10:58:01 +0000 UTCFrom the first phrases of her description, I was internally screaming. I didn’t even do the ARG! But she was either Alex or Jonny’s favorite to write, so I’ve been waiting for her.
Kate McKiernan
2024-05-08 09:54:49 +0000 UTCGood point
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-05-08 06:14:55 +0000 UTCNo she isn’t.
Gareth Green
2024-05-08 04:20:11 +0000 UTCLady M feels like the anti-Gertrude. Corrupted by the hunt completely, and embracing her powers. Her little punny "catch you later" so unsettling coming from a Hunter.
GloriousGe0rge
2024-05-08 04:06:21 +0000 UTCat the end, with the tape recorder, the person muttering, almost chanting about the deep and the ocean, do you all think that could be Alison Leshi from episode 11?
alex cervantes
2024-05-07 23:32:21 +0000 UTCIncredible episode though
ShinyPenUnlimited
2024-05-07 23:07:12 +0000 UTCI’m confused
ShinyPenUnlimited
2024-05-07 23:06:56 +0000 UTCArtemis is a god of war too, don’t forget that.
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-05-07 22:34:53 +0000 UTCNo, but (a) she featured in the ARG and (b) she’s one of the characters who were listed in the casting announcement, so I just perked up because I know her to be Important.
Valerie Kaplan
2024-05-07 22:16:09 +0000 UTCHave we heard her before?
Gareth Green
2024-05-07 22:04:02 +0000 UTCI always did associate the Hunt with Diana/Artemis
Gareth Green
2024-05-07 21:47:56 +0000 UTCThe way that lady Mowbray can literally smell that Celia is from a different dimension LMAO
Metin Coker
2024-05-07 21:47:52 +0000 UTCamazing ep omg
esmeeeeeeee
2024-05-07 21:46:13 +0000 UTCLady M! My eyes actually went wide.
Valerie Kaplan
2024-05-07 21:22:03 +0000 UTCI go to the Gladstone a lot wtf. Too real
Ester Ramos Carmona
2024-05-07 21:19:15 +0000 UTCSo Anusia isn't listed in the credits you need to check it out.
Possumcat
2024-05-07 21:06:51 +0000 UTCF yeah, we meet Lady M! Talk about a mid-season 🎤⤵️. An excellent spin on “The Most Dangerous Game.” So often, retellings add very little. But making others play at gunpoint? That’s a great take.
Kate McKiernan
2024-05-07 20:54:32 +0000 UTC"hostile work enviorment" might be the understatment of the century
Merlin3434
2024-05-07 20:27:51 +0000 UTCOh, crap, I didn't expect that last part was gonna rattle me so hard. Alice trying so hard to save the victim, and being so scared... damn, that made me feel dizzy.

2024-05-07 20:05:08 +0000 UTCEVIL LADY EVIL LADY EVIL SCARY LADYYYYY AND WHAT A FUCKING ENDING (meanwhile the protocol team keeps enacting the horror romcomish version of Challengers)

2024-05-07 19:46:54 +0000 UTCConfused!! Delighted!! What!!
Sebi Tealeaf
2024-05-07 19:14:16 +0000 UTCTHE TAPE RECORDER oh this episode was so good
Voltz
2024-05-07 18:55:16 +0000 UTCHad to laugh at the “hostile work environment” tag
John Curry
2024-05-07 18:24:03 +0000 UTCthe transcripts say "Good Show" for the title instead of "Well Run"

Dell Helena
2024-05-07 18:08:07 +0000 UTCThat was so creepy, love the Hunt but the Victim at the end was so unsettling!
Rowan
2024-05-07 17:47:17 +0000 UTCThat is wise.
Andi G
2024-05-07 17:19:51 +0000 UTCabsolutely horrific ^^ especially that ending! amazing vocal performance from both alice and the victim
mora!
2024-05-07 17:11:50 +0000 UTCdying at how celia’s entire existence is weird as hell but also EVERYTHING that just happened
Ace
2024-05-07 17:10:58 +0000 UTCOhh woah, some particularly disturbing moments in this one! What a great introduction for Lady Mowbray! Also, I have more and more questions about Celia.
Ninn
2024-05-07 16:18:37 +0000 UTCOh jesus christ, Sam, that is a Choice for a second date. Oh no.

Anthony
2024-05-07 16:03:41 +0000 UTCI’m even more convinced Alice *knows* and she’s maybe the avatar on this side.
Nawal Fisher
2024-05-07 15:59:32 +0000 UTCThis one is CRAZY I’m in LOVE
Fae
2024-05-07 15:57:15 +0000 UTCoh my god. oh my god what. i feel abnormal about all of this. absolutely insane episode.
