My New Fixation

Originally, the podcast found me while I fell asleep listing to Spotify. I was half listening and half asleep, dreaming of the scenes happening as the episode went on. I'm not even lying when I say I woke up upset cause the episode ended along with the awesome dream. Immediately, I searched up the podcast for the second episode, and I was ecstatic to find near fourty episodes to binge. I've now listened to almost half the episodes, and there hadn't been a single dull moment. How each scene is described comes off so naturally, the attention to detail is incredible, and I LOVE the character dynamics/interactions. I feel like I've discovered an otherworldly and unforgettable experience, Malevolent is truly an incredible masterpiece.

I'm Going to Cry

This podcast is perfect and I have nothing to say except that I truly thank the creators of this show from the bottom of my heart.

Unimaginably creative and amazing

I genuinely have no words for the sheer brilliance of this podcast, and I am *not* exaggerating. I found this podcast in 2023 and by the 2nd episode I knew a new hyperfixation was coming up. I binged S1-S3 in 2 days. The characters are so well fleshed out and can we talk about how most of the characters are voiced by Harlan Guthrie himself? Thank you for your work. I will always support you and this podcast.

Simply Phenomenal in All Ways

Just WOW. I discovered Malevolent less than a year ago when I heard about one of the author's other podcasts, Deviser. Impressed with the incredible sound engineering, I had to take a deep dive into Malevolent. This podcast has been a rollercoaster, from jumping out of my seat, heart pounding to sobbing in the parking garage of my work trying to compose myself. The music, sound engineering, voice acting and storytelling are all five stars! I have quickly become a fan of Harlan Guthrie's work and intend to be a lifetime listener. What else would I be doing on the way into the office? More people need to hear this. Stellar work.

Malevolent Is Important To Me

Thank you so much for creating Malevolent. The way it’s written is very fun, and it brings me back to very fond memories of playing DnD with my parents. I’m not trying to be sappy, but a handful of months ago, I underwent an extremely traumatic event that had a big impact on the trajectory of my life. I was only 16 at the time, and I didn’t know what to do with my very large emotions. A lot of me still doesn’t. It’s for this reason Malevolent is important to me. The way Arthur’s trauma is written, it made me feel seen. I finally had a character that I could connect my emotions to. His negatives and positives. The poem he recites in episode 20 brings me tears, even when I know it’s coming. Partly because it’s sad, but mostly because I know exactly how he feels. Arthur may not be real, but his pain is very comforting to me because it makes me feel seen. Thank you so much for creating this story, because it’s helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I can’t wait to see what happens next, and I’ll be supporting this story until the end!

So glad I found this podcast

I must have listened to this entire series at least 3 times by now. The main characters bring such great personality to the table; its great fun listening along as they face and overcome all matter of trials and tribulations.

Malevolent was the second story based podcast I listened to and yet it still remains my favourite. The quality continues to grow from season to season and I'm constantly telling myself "it will never top this" and yet as always I am surprised. I cannot recommend this enough if you are an enthusiast of eldritch horror or really good stories.

Beat thing I listened to in my life

No, I am nto exaggerating. I decided to check out this podcast on the 4th of January 2024, which is a date burned into my memory because of how thoroughly this podcast took over my life. One episode in, my eyes were wide and mind awash with wild excitement. Five episodes in, I couldn't take the headphones off. I tried to pace myself like a normal person but ended up binging seasons 2-4 in about 3-4 days total. Everything is perfect: the characters, the plot, the dynamic between Arthur and the Entity, the lore, the voice acting, the dialogue, the locations, the sound editing, the horror... I am counting down the days to my next paycheck so I can throw myself at patreon. I keep recommending this podcast to everyone who I think would enjoy it - like a cultist of some sort. No other podcast has ever gripped me this hard. I physically cannot recommend it enough.

Happy New Year! My name is Michael Welch from San Antonio. I took out a 25k loan (9575 for the dentist and 15,000 for the dentures) about two years ago. I missed out on my payments because I lost my job and my credit score drop drastically. This affected my dream of purchasing a house for my family. I’ve got a better job, paid off the debt but the negative remarks remained. All my applications for a home loan fell through, until a realtor recommended JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP. I contacted Mr. Jerry, he was responsive, and gave detailed information. After careful deliberation with my family, I offered him the job and I’m glad I did. They erased all the negative items and my score went up by 129 points. I have achieved my dream of becoming a home owner thanks to Mr. Jerry and his team. I’m recommending his services as promised; you can reach out to them via: JERRYLINKGROUP@GMAIL.COM, thank me later.

Beautiful.

This podcast is one the best ones I have ever heard. I love how much Arthur and John have been through. The plot is amazing.

The best thing that happened in my life

I begun to listen the Podcast when it was for around Part 17, found it by accident in a post on Tumblr and grow attached to Harlan voice inmediatly. Is the first podcast that I heard entirely (when it reached part 20 while listening) in my life and I simply love it, it has the lot of things I love: horror, a character that question their humanity and takes a lot of wrong, but necesarily, decisions and a little dark voice in their head that learns and yearn for the same humanity and a lot of reflections with a tiny (lots of it) bit of gore and suffering. I cannot wait for more parts and, at the same time, I will wait all the time it takes to reach the end of it all, because it's made with a lot of love and that kind of things take lotta time. And it f*cking worth it. Thank you for giving to the world this precious master piece.

Simply Amazing

I am a new listener and am already obsessed. The story is fantastic, the descriptions are so well detailed you will feel as though you are truly there. The music, the background sounds, and the voices... I was blown away to find out that all voices were done by one man. What an incredibly gifted spirit you are Harlan! Thank you for this listening pleasure!

Can’t get enough of this! The actors, directing, sound effects, plot, everything is outstanding! Can’t thank you enough! I listen every chance I get! I’m caught up now and cannot wait till the next one comes! Please please continue after this one is finished. This is movie worthy. Thank you again!

A Work of Dark Art

This is the best fiction podcast I've ever heard. The artistry behind the voice acting, story, characters, music and sound design is staggering. I've listened to a lot of fiction podcasts and they cannot compare.

Expertly made an acted (by the fantastic Harlan Guthrie, who plays all the characters, although you’d never know - he’s a master at voices and accents). The immersive sound design gives a very atmospheric depiction of a blind man’s odyssey through a Lovecraftian world, and the slow unfolding mystery of the voice’s identity and the world he came from, kept me hooked so far (I’ve only listened to season 1), but… I did find it a tad monotonous (new episode, new location, new other-worldy creature) I’m getting impatient to find out the backstory of “John’s” true identity and motivation

I love the concept of an audio drama told from the perspective of a blind man. The situations they end up in are so harrowing and suspenseful, thanks in no small part to excellent writing / acting and SUPERB sound design.

I highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a dark witty mystery with some comedy pieces as the cherry on top. 100% worth your time

It's been so incredibly gratifying to watch the following for Malevolent grow and grow, because it's so obviously a labor of love. And it shows. Gripping writing captures the feel of "Lovecraft" flawlessly, carrying the weight of the dread and suspense straight to your heart, buoyed by black humor and moments of tender sincerity.

Exceptional voice acting and immersive sound environments throughout. Truly terrifying moments in an audio landscape that feels as real as it gets. Dark and sometimes brutal. One of the best AD in production, not for the faint of heart!

This is quite definitely my favourite fiction podcast. I wasn't sure about the premise at first, but wow, it is done so well. I love the relationship between Arthur and John, the way they cycle through suspicion, tenderness, and just sheer frustration with each other. I am absolutely gripped by this and fascinated to see where the story goes

Hey, join me appreciate this genius hacker JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP, I Just pulled my credit report on Credit Karma, Equifax and Experian and confirmed that my credit score is now 794. I had a few collections, credit card debts, was late on my car payments and few other hard inquiries; after I employed the services of Jerry, he raised my score and eliminated all of these unwanted items, he further added some tradelines to my report. How would I have achieved this without Jerry’s help? C’mon guys, contact them via jerrylinkgroup@gmail.com for your credit fix, and thank me later.

I had a terrible credit score, dead credit profile... But after so many reviews on Disqus, I had to use their service to fix my credit. I thought they weren't really going to do anything but to my biggest surprise I got notifications from IdentityIQ my negatives are falling off and my score improved by 288pts in a few days. 760 Plus Credit Score as the name implies is simply the best credit repair team. Quickly contact via 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM

Can't stop listening

My absolute favorite podcast. I usually need to do something on the side while listening to podcasts, but with Malevolent I'm too captivated to even think about anything else. The voice acting, music and writing are all amazing. I also love all of the characters, even the ones I hate. Kinda wish I could give more than five stars.

Great show.

Definitely has a very Lovecraftian feel to it. Would make a great ttrpg. And I'm sure your team of writers could come up with a great way to do it.

Outstanding

An incredible blend of mystery, horror and intrigue that will have you gripping the edge of your seat in morbid fascination. Exquisitely voice acted and audio editted. The most thoroughly enjoyable podcast that I have ever put to my ears.

Utterly addicting

From the first episode I was hooked. The amount of detail in the writing, the quality voice acting, and immersive audio was top notch. I can’t suggest it enough. I honestly will listen to everything and anything Harlan Guthrie puts out from here on out. Bravo
