The beat podcast out there!
You will not come across a production quite like this. 10/10 in all aspects. Cultists beware!!
This show couldn't be made in any other format other than a fiction podcast. The entire premise is dependent of the medium. And the soundscaping is as deliberate and well done as anything. Exquisite.
Phenomenal podcast !!
Malevolent is by far my favorite podcast of all time! The storyline, the writing, the characters and their growth have all enthralled me tightly. An ominous, gripping tale that nevertheless will make you see the beauty of hope, love and the human spirit. I’ve gotten more than one person similarly hooked just by raving about it. I can’t recommend it enough!!!
I like Arthur
he is babygirl. xx
Super fun
I was looking into horror podcasts to get into and was recommended this one by a friend. It’s super fun to follow and I really enjoy the way the story is going.
There isn't anything more I can say after all these glowing reviews. This is one of the few podcasts that genuinely made me feel like I was going on a long adventure full of twists and turns. The episode lengths seemed huge at first but the conversations soon became a part of my day. There's a balanced mix of everything that makes a podcast great - natural immersive sound and dialogue, fantastic writing drawn from interactive choices, distinct coloutful characters that you can connect with, suspense that leaves you craving for more, and a phenomenal take on Lovecraftian classics. Definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for an unforgettable journey.
I love this podcast so much, the story and themes are just amazing. I've been binge watching it a bunch, can't get enough of it and the story using eldritch horrors is amazing. All hail the king in yellow
So amazing
This is the best podcast series I've ever listened to. It has become my top #1 storyline and I fell in love with Arthur and John/Yellow. It's so incredibly good. It has become a comfort show for me and I'm on my fourth relisten. Can't wait for more!!!!
oh my. oh boy
i started this pod a couple days ago and I'm already on part 19. it might be the autism talking but Holy. Oh geez i can tell you guys put you're whole hearts and souls into creating these nuanced and lovable characters and storyline and just. god keep doing what you're doing you're amazing and this is my new favorite podcast and all I've been thinking about for the past 3 days tysm
Amazing show!
Honest to god I love this show! I love the characters! I love the world! Everything about it is beautiful and brilliant! Need I say more?
In listening to this podcast I have experienced emotions beyond human comprehension
Devastating, horrifying, actually criminal to make me sob like this. The character development tastes better than a bowl of pan-fried gnocchi with tomatoes and melted fresh mozzarella, garnished with fresh basil. Did I mention that it made me cry. 11/10 keep up the good work.
new favorite thing
i emigrated last year. during vacations, i couldn't go home. flights were too expensive and it wasn't worth it for the amount if days i was gonna stay there. one day, i saw someone speak of malevolent on twitter and decided to give it a try. normally, i am not much for podcasts. but little by little John and Arthur's voices started to fill my day. sometimes they accompany while I'm doing chores, other times just before falling asleep. it helps to keep me grounded when I miss home. thank you
Incredible
Such an immersive story and incredible characters!!! Easy to become obsessed with!! … and now wait with baited breath for each next episode. It’s so good, I wish I never started it until it was finished, just so I didn’t have to wait.
I LOVE MALEVOLENT HHFHTHRHHHG
oh good LORD i dont even know where to start. i am so in love with malevolent its actually insane, i’d go as far to say that not only is it my favorite audio drama, but my favorite piece of media EVER. the idea is so good and the writing of the characters!,,!! OH MY GOD!!!! when it comes to the characters and decisions that they make that further develop them (rather they be good or bad choices) the writing is so amazing that i can understand why they do that while also disagreeing like OUHHH man and honestly this podcast has genuinely changed my life. like. GOOD LORD AUGGH its so good and amazing and so great especially with the cthulu mythos aspect its so INTERESTING LIKE OIAUAGH and. im gonna talk about how characters are written again brcause i cannot get ENOUGH OF THEM GOOD GOD theres something to it because. like when it comes to arthurs writing its so good because hes. human. and it dives into morals and stuff and OH MAN im i could talk about how good malevolent is forever. like when i listen to malevolent it genuinely has me thinking about. everything like MY GOD ITS JUST SO GOOD im so excited for the next part
OUTSTANDING
This is hands down one the most addicting podcast I've heard in a while, it's been on my list for some time, but I only listened last month, I kid you not, I finish the whole 40 episodes in 5 days. It's such a well crafted horror with compelling characters and the sound design is top tier as well. Overall such a good time, highly recommend
If I could I would give thousand stars
This podcast is just incredible. The wide range of emotions it will make you feel is surprising. I had especially fall in love with this podcast because it made me so excited and hyped up like reading books used to. The story is so gripping. I especially like the rare calm moments when Arthur and Jhon just laugh and casually talk. They just warm my heart so much I've been putting off listening to the Malevolent Podcast for a long while, but one of the people I was lucky to meet turned out to be a fan of it and encouraged me to finally give it a try. And I'm incredibly glad I did. I can't wait for more parts, and I hope more people will give this piece of art a try.
The Best
I’m on my 3rd binge of this podcast and it never gets old. Episode 20, “The King” still makes me cry!
Worst (Best) thing to ever happen to me (And Arthur Lester)
I was never really one for podcasts before especially ones that needed your attention to follow a story but boy oh boy did this keep my attention locked and settled on everything. I was never expecting a podcast I saw fanart of to change the trajectory of my thoughts for the better from its writing. I love every character and their complexities (and simplicities) and ESPECIALLY Arthur and every inner conflict he finds himself with whether it'd be his morals, philosphies or world view. His "What is evil" monologue in part 31 just changed my brain matter and I don't think I'll ever psychologically recover from that experience ever. Also the sound effectd are always a favorite they're phenomenal, which makes sense since this is a podcast, but it's done so well and really sets the scene as if you're really there. Of course, it'd be a sin to exclude Harlan's voice acting is amazing and I would never have known it wasn't all one person if I didn't check the cast This is, from the bottom of my heart, one of the best pieces of media I have ever gotten myself into and consider myself so lucky to be able to take part in it.
They sprinkled crack on this or SOMETHING
I've had this in my list for a while now, and last month I decided it was time. I KID YOU NOT, I went through the whole 40 episodes in 5 days. I was like a man possessed, I would wake up, start playing , go about my day and go to sleep. Then malevolent night visions would plague my dreams and I'd wake up and do it all over again. Dark shadows in the corner of my eyes would beckon me whenever I couldn't listen, to come back to it. Overall very good, would recommend

I've fallen in love with Arthur
I've gotten so into the story, the characters and voices. It's entertaining and has made me laugh, cry and get angry. GREAT podcast!!
My favorite podcast of all time
I am absolutely obsessed with this podcast! This podcast changed by brain chemistry in the best way. The voice acting is incredible, the sound design is so immersive, and the story always has me on the edge of my seat! Every time I think the story can't get better, I'm happily proven wrong! I gush about this podcast to everyone I know. I am so glad that this podcast exists and I hope everyone listens to it.
Immersive, visceral, beautiful
I've been listening since August 2022 and hooked every step of the way. The horror is brilliantly visceral, the characters deeply human in a way that makes me want them to survive and grow even when they make mistakes, and the friendship at the heart of the story of the story has made me cry many tears and will be part of my soul for a long time.
One of my FAVORITE podcasts ever
After I finished TMA I was not sure if was I was ever gonna be able to fill in the void but someone recommended me Malevolent and I'm HOOKED! The story, the characters ( all voiced by one dude btw) is so good. Cannot wait for more episodes! Check out Deviser too btw; just as good ‼️
