Popular Reviews of Red Valley

Excellent. Top quality acting, story & production, 2nd to none. Love the humour too, it genuinely makes me smile. (Have also enjoyed the insults & banter, some I may use later)

The cast and story is spectacular. It's futuristic but feasible. I particularly love the snippets of random conversation which only prove to make you smile.

If you’re looking for a fresh side of self-awareness in your genre fare like I am definitely check out Red Valley! In an attempt to avoid spoilers we’ll just mention the buzzwords that had us hooked: “Conspiracy,” “Cryonic Preservation,” “Sonic the Hedgehog”. The vocal performances on the show - especially from Jonathan Williams as Warren and Alan Mandel as Gordon effortlessly match the dexterity of the dialogue which cuts the seemingly traditional Science Fiction jargon with hilarious off the cuff conversations about tv shows, video games, death metal, and the varying effectiveness of code names. Think The X Files by way of Edgar Wright. The soundscape for Red Valley also does a lot to place us in the world with these characters while steeping us in genre tropes that feel like a warm hug. Conversations in the rain, over telephones, intercoms, and audio logs all evoke the Sci-Fi genre just enough to allow us to unearth the the semantic layer underneath grandiose themes you think you’re familiar with. All in all Red Valley is a fast, evocative, and fun 6-episode season Sci-Fi show for avowed fans and skeptics of the genre.

This is such a brilliantly-told story. Our narrator is charming, playful, and determined to figure out what exactly the Red Valley Seed Project is all about. Flew through half of their current eps in one drive, and already can’t wait for more to be released.

Brilliant, absolutely want more of this podcast! Love the story so far, well done team.

I loved it from start to finish. All of the characters are so unique and interesting (and all really adeptly acted) which is what makes the podcast so engaging, plus the script is wonderfully written, such a great balance of humour, mystery and depth. From episode 1 I was completely invested in the storyline and was hooked on every word! I loved how, throughout the entire series, you are pulled in with different splashes of information and hints that leave you not knowing who to believe or trust at all. Incredible stuff!

Just started listening to this, and can already tell it's going to be a favourite. Smart writing, great production, sci-fi intrigue, and even a few (excellent) jokes. Really looking forward to finding out more of the gory details of Red Valley.

Red Valley is an excellent sci-fi/mystery podcast. The plot is engaging and the voice actors are top notch. I love the musical score, and the sound design is first rate. I'm looking forward to Season 2.

One of my very favorite mystery audiodramas! It comes on strong and keeps on going, combining found footage charm with the slow, slow burn of... we'll call it fridge horror. ;) The character development and strong sense of both comedic and horrific (horrifying?) timing are especially striking. Loved the first season, loving the second.

It’s only just getting started, but I can tell I’m going to be with this podcast all the way. A brilliant mystery being set up very elegantly. Can’t wait to see where it goes!

It isn't often that you listen to an audio drama that checks all the boxes for a great horror/sci-fi with a very unexpected and super satisfying twist in the end. It's even more unexpected that said great horror drama makes you occasionally literally laugh out loud. Sound production, writing, and acting are all perfect.

This show features some really great performances and truly funny dialogue that makes you feel as though you're listening in on a couple of friends talking. The season finale opens some big doors and I can't wait to see where they go to next!

This show has such a strong sense of realism that its more fantastical sci-fi elements always feel real and grounded. So when things go wrong, you really feel it! Excellent production quality, strong sound design and foley, and really excellent, effortless-feeling acting. Really feels like a slice of life that turns into something truly strange and extraordinary. And that's just in the first few episode! I can tell it's ramping up and I'm excited to see where it goes.

Like a Father John Misty song come to life, Red Valley is equally bleak and hilarious. This show expertly captures the landscape of questionable choices that human beings make when gazing into the unknown. The surprising thing about Red Valley is that amidst the fear and uncertainty, most of the characters are actually trying to do the right thing in their own way and it endears you to them in a way I found very compelling.

Great music and storytelling. The whole series feels more real than many other independent shows. Good to find!

Red Valley is definitely up there as one of my favourite podcasts, and one of the reasons why is because it really holds up to repeat listenings (of which I've now done a few!) As the story takes you to different places, as the tones shift, repeat listenings show you just how close to the surface each of the twists really were all along- which makes it so rewarding to revisit! Alongside the excellent foreshadowing, I really enjoyed the top quality sound design, the utterly naturalistic acting by the cast, the dialogue, and the plot itself is captivating!The characters, their motivations, and their conflicts are absolutely fascinating, and they're coming together to tell a truly gripping plot! I can't wait to tune in to see what happens next!PS: this podcast is an absolutely stunning, perhaps even genre defining piece in the work I'd like to call Corporate Horror (but the tag for that doesn't exist yet)

I'm really loving this podcast! A super intriguing and original story, with some great acting and humour too. I can't wait to find out what happens... bring on many more episodes!!

Honestly such an amazing podcast. To be honest, I've never really been a fan of any podcasts till Red valley. Instantly got hooked at how cool the characters are and how interesting the story is. binged it twice over the span of 3 days. Thank you Red valley for getting me hooked onto audio dramas. Can't wait for season 3. :)

A new personal favourite! It was short, with twists and turns, and amazing editing! I cannot wait for the second season!

I love this podcast SO much, even just in the first season the story is gripping, the characters are incredible, and the sound design is just absolutely phenomenal. I've listened all the way through multiple times, and it's actually got me doing my own research into cryonics as well! If you need a super tight and well put together sci-fi horror with refreshing comedy and a fantastic mystery thrown in there as well, this should be your number 1 pick!
