Popular Reviews of The Sink

found this podcast through a simple google search on “comedy podcasts” looking for entertainment and a good laugh. The Sink was described as a horror, drama, comedy. I wasn’t expecting to find horror and comedy within the same podcast, props to them for seamlessly merging two of my favorite genres. “Wet Ham Slice” was the first episode, I began listening already very intrigued. I liked how after one episode of total utter confusion I did have somewhat of an understanding. I remember the first episode literally sounding like I was listening to gibberish; it didn’t even seem like there was a story to follow. The skit about the wet ham slice did end up making me laugh, among all my confusion I did find humor in the bizarreness of the skits. The concept of listening to dialogue of someone else’s dreams as a part of a mysterious experiment plot is genius. A couple days after listening to this podcast I woke up from a dream that made complete sense to me, however, as I began to backtrack and remember conversations, I realized how they do sound exactly like gibberish as The Sink displays. I would like to ask the host how these skits are written and developed, are they based on dreams the writing team had the night before? If these skits come purely from the team’s brains their ability to mimic real dream sequences from scratch and turn them into entertainment with plot is seriously remarkable. If they are based on dreams the writers had, how close are the skits to the original dreams, is it just for a general idea, or am I essentially listening to someone else's head?This podcast followed a sleep experiment where the viewer becomes the subject of tests and recording of their dream sequences. It uses ASMR addition to immerse the listener, sounds and dialogue moving around and changing to create an image of the plot is surreal and somewhat creepy. The listener’s progress and findings from their dreams are mentioned mysteriously, the subject of the experiment (you) is getting worse with sleeping habits. As the name suggests, the podcast is supposed to be a “sleep aid”, however, every time you listen you feel uneasy and scared by the skits presented and the horror grows more intense as the episodes progress.

Hooked from the first second. It sounds incredible, genius production, wonderful acted and very funny.

Weird and funny. My favourite part was the guy who wrote the book that was way too big, and his wife so furious she won't come out of the epilogue. Also love the two guys discussing - and becoming their dreams (memories?) of birds.

Fucking freaky. It's like listening to people talk in another room through drywall. You can't quite make out the individual words, but you think you get the gist. Maybe? They also might not be human, and it's definitely all a dream.

This podcast is truly unique- an irresistible blend of comedy horror and surrealism. Absolutely genius.

Really good, funny podcast with a plotline that really sneaks up on you and leaves you guessing things until the very end.First episode lets the rest of the series down though
