Popular Reviews of Out of Place

The narration in this show is simply amazing. The narrator has a wonderful diverse and rich voice with lots of nuances. The atmosphere is intense, spooky and it draws you in immediately. This is the kind of story where you expect the weird and mysterious, but you have no rush getting there, since the journey itself seems so utterly intriguing.

This podcast is simply excellent. I am utterly obsessed and have listened to every episode multiple times over. The story is so engaging. As someone who works in archaeology I was really impressed by the clear amount of historic research that has gone into the show - it makes the plot feel so real and makes the show so engaging. The characters are so well written and introduced. I can't fault this podcast in any way. If you're thinking of listening to this just do, you won't regret it. I hope that there will be a season 3!

Discovered this earlier this week, I'm loving the storyline, the bits of information about the Project teased out through all of these butterfly effect impossibilities. Although I'm less sure what to make of Andrew's misplaced guilt complex. I am having a lot of fun listening, and I'll look forward to any more you put out!

The only bad thing about this podcast is that there are so few episodes. It's a brilliantly written, wonderfully narrated, fully immersive world. I love it!

Love this! Great narration and deep introspection of an alternate world, and that changes one's view of this world we live in. Very intelligently written. Highly recommended. ❤️👍

This is such a great podcast. If you like alternate realities, spec-fic, or conspiracies, this podcast has something for you. Every week, the narrator receives a new item from... somewhere else... and tries to make sense of where it came from, and what happened there to make it. I'm hopeful for many more seasons, many more episodes, and some development of the plot that just started to get going in the last episode of Season 2.

Science fiction/alternate history that veers towards horror. Throughout the first season, an archivist receives an item from an alternate world and speculates on the consequences of a deviation in history based on the item's details, comparing it to what happened in our reality. Most of the items are unsettling, but a couple provide glimpses into more positive realities. The second season takes the show in a different direction from the first, expanding on the world(s) and the conceit of alternate realities; this season strays further from specific historical speculation and towards doomsday scenarios. The circumstances of the alternate worlds are interesting, worrisome, and thought-provoking, exploring existential dread with a hint of hopefulness.

Fringe, this podcast gave me a lot of the same feelings I felt watching first 2-3 seasons of Fringe. It was wonderful, fun, and imaginative.

All I wanted was a "mysterious" audio drama. What I got was a mysterious - almost philosophical - story that was so compelling I couldn't stop thinking about the outcome of each episode. Such creative writing! Excellent narration. Completely caught me off guard and I loved it.

I much preferred the first season.

love it!! weird enough that it's creepy but not so much that it's scary. also I learned things about america that I did not learn in american public high school but definitely should have!!

If you're looking for something to fill the void that The Magnus Archives has left, this is a decent stopgap. Though only 2 seasons at the time of this review, it has built up an intriguing plot that's equal parts mystery, alternate history, science fiction, and horror. Not the sort of personal horror The Magnus Archives describes, but rather a more collective horror about the potential for any singular event to bring about vast changes in history or even then end of the human race.The story is told through voice narration of an archivist, whose job is to describe artifacts in detail while prepping them for storage. The specific oddities of some of these items cause him to wonder about their impossible origins. The narration is spectacular, the writing is compelling, and the production value is high.

A fascinating look at alternative history's

I love Out of Place. It's such a weird and wistful combination of melancholic introspection and deeply unnerving speculation into the various ways things could have gone (and could still go) wrong where one piece in the larger puzzle of the world nudged slightly out of place. As to the narrator, Andrew Moss is a lovely man, for all that he loves to call himself a gloomy doom-saying wet blanket. He has a breadth of dark imagination unique to people who are ruled by compassion, and you can't help but want to pick him up and take him out to lunch to talk about maybe getting into another line of work that'll distress him a bit less.

Fascinating! Very well-written and acted, always thought-provoking, yet never preachy. I *really* wish there were more episodes in both seasons (and more seasons); I really like the thought-experiment feel of it all, esp. the first season. Should definitely have been longer!

I went in knowing very little about Out Of Place other than the short blurb the creator gives you in the podcast app, and I'm glad I did. It has a very clever premise that starts in a small understated way but keeps expanding its mystery along with the worlds it explores, yes you heard plural. It’s sort of a Magnus Archives for hard SciFi fans and explores some frightening ideas. If you are having any type of existential crisis right now maybe give it a pass tell you are ready for some dark material (in the SciFi sense) to be explored.The first season draws you into the mystery slowly but surely, and the short episodes are just the right length paced perfectly to keep you on the line. The second season expands not only episode length but its cast along with the ideas explored, and there are a lot of the latter. It’s an imaginative and unique SciFi audio drama that one cannot predict where it will go next.Actor Ben Counter as our lead does a superb job voicing our jaded but curious archivist, and this production comes from the Midnight Disease crew. They are also responsible for Lake Clarity, SCP Archives, Insidious Inspirations, Margaret's Garden, and The Hotel, which I have not checked out yet but am sure to following my introduction to their work via Out Of Place. If you're in the mood for some smart SciFi give this one a try.

A great story concept. The first season plays a bit like a History Channel show with a sci-fi spin with the second season moving a bit more towards a serialized story.

The historical and hypothetical aspects of this show feel authentic and fascinated me, and the meta-narrative is just as interesting.

Wish there was more! Leaves big shoes to fill

I loved this podcast! It was so atmospheric and thought provoking, with really excellent acting and properly addictive storytelling. More like this please!
