Popular Reviews of Carrier

The best fiction podcast I've ever listened to.

Cool little monster story, the sound effects are top notch. Upgrade those ear buds.

Nice sound production, good acting and the writing is not bad. "Duel" meets "Swamp Thing". Ending is somewhat unsatisfying and leaves some lose ends. But, overall, it is entertaining, thrilling and recommendable.

Didn't know what to expect from his podcast but was very impressed. Superb voice acting and story line, really gripping. Think I finished it in one sitting, just couldn't turn it off.

Rating - 5.5/10One of the older productions of Qcode. While the production quality continues to be impressive, the plot is underwhelming. Never really got myself invested in any of the characters and the target audience seems to be a younger crowd. Average experience.Note: These are only my amateur personal review ratings/thoughts, you are welcome to have your own opinions.

The ending was disappointing but the audio and story was interesting

Amazing audio designShit story.

This is a total experience with the sound and wow! Headphones are a must. It’s immersive and the plot and characters are so good. I want more! So much more!

my intro to fiction podcasts. What a ride...voice acting was great too.

Carrier is a fun, schlocky, 'B Movie' monster horror. Cynthia Erivo plays Raylene, a truck driver hustling for jobs. She lands upon a delivery which grows more disturbing and mysterious over time. All the while, Raylene battles with missing the family back home that she is striving to provide for.Erivo is fantastic, giving a great and varied performance in which her character's guilt, hope, determination, curiosity and fear are all expressed sincerely. Raylene is a strong character, which is just as well as Carrier is mostly a one-character tale. Dialogue is spoken with a passion and authenticity that highlights the best of audio fiction.The story is well told, with good scriptwriting. The pacing can be a little sluggish and inconsistent at times but not enough to derail the plot. I still found myself hitting play on the next episode soon after finishing the previous one. There are nitpicks to be had about the lack of clarity regarding the big reveal but it could be argued that it's better left to the imagination to decide what exactly was in the back of Raylene's vehicle.QCode is often criticised for not following up on their series but Carrier doesn't need a second season. It works perfectly well by as a standalone, limited series offering. Certainly worth checking out, especially if you like low budget scary movies or cheap comic book frightfests. That's not a knock, that's where Carrier succeeds.

Excellent production values, exellent acting, and a tense, enjoyable ride of a story. I think it bit off a little more than it could chew toward the end, and there are a LOT of ads compared to most podcasts, but I had a great time listening and highly recommend it.

Very well done in terms of sound and story. Just felt like like there could've been a few more minutes to wrap up the protagonist's emotional arc but otherwise it's a great short listen, like a novella.

Great story, and a good listen if you've just finished 'Alice Isn't Dead'. Very good acting and scripting. My only complaint is that this is a great first season, but it needs the second season to really pay off. More please!

Top notch production and talent! Some of the "action" gets muddled without dialog, but not enough to take me out of the story.

Simple but reasonably effective horror story.

The problem with this is that it isn't really ABOUT anything. Also, the amount of ads messes up any chance of a consistent experience. Take all the ads away and then you might have something that's at least intriguing. Yes, I know that you can pay to join and then.....blah

Carrier is the gold standard of immersive, no-narration audio fiction and consistently #1 on my own list. Incredible attention to detail in the sound design while somehow managing to avoid storytelling and scripting gimmicks. A go-to for the fan of 21st century radio drama.

Unique story, but I wish there was another season or 3!

A really well done, contained, story with top notch audio execution.

This show has so much good acting and tension right from the beginning. The soundscape is spine-tingling and amazing. There were some moments where I was really frustrated with the main character's decisions, but this show has a way of taking turns you don't expect, so things don't work out the way you think they will anyway.
