Popular Reviews of Windfall

The most highly-produced, well-written audio drama out there. It's like a big-budget HBO show for your ears.

The podcast you have always wanted, but never knew. Trust me. Even if you have never listened to an audio drama before, the voice acting, audio mixing, score - everything - will draw you in and convince you to stay.Do not sleep on this!

The voice acting is all really good here. The pacing of the story is incredibly well-crafted. Brilliant worldbuilding, amazing characterization and character development, immersive sound design, and emotionally stirring background music.

Wonderful storytelling.

Following an ensemble cast, dealing with concepts such as classism and societal standing, family responsibility, and colonialism. Characters are flawed and have interesting relationships; for a summary that mostly focuses on the male characters, I loved how well the female characters were developed (a few moreso than the eldest brother). The plotting (intersecting storylines, pacing), sound design, and scope of the worldbuilding is well-done; the cast is talented. The first season ends on a cliffhanger and I'm interested to see how the story will continue in the second.

Good worldbuilding, a societal storytelling.With a great soundtrack and mixing.

On my first Windfall binge I was immediately blown away by the sound design and the immense scope of the world building. On my second binge, I found a wealth of subtle details to appreciate. The Windfall script was obviously given time to mature and reach its full potential. Multiple intersecting storylines and character arcs are seamlessly woven together and the pacing never feels too crowded or rushed or slow. Every bit of emotional conflict is fully earned in the writing and in the acting. A group of sloshing-full passionate hearts emptied themselves out while making this beautiful epic masterpiece. Give it a first and a second listen.

This show has it all: a full, sweeping instrumental score; a sprawling large-cast fantasy/sci-fi action adventure vibe; reluctant, flawed, morally grey heroes; saying “fuck capitalism”; intricate, lived-in worldbuilding; some of the best voice talent out there; etc etc etc. It’s a grand adventure in every sense told incredibly well--the writing on this show is some of the best you’ll find out there in audio drama and it’s executed in a fantastically immersive way that I hope will sweep you away like it did to me.

Oh boy do I love wanda ??

Some of my favorite high fantasy & YA fantasy fiction has been replaced in my brain to make more space for Windfall & the richness of its world, & I'm okay with that !!! It's near flawless in every respect, & more than that, Windfall has this terrifying whimsy that takes hold of you & never lets go... Subscribe ASAP !!!

What can I even say about a show this good? The sound design is INCREDIBLE and I mean that! The interlocking story lines are super impressive. I seriously can't wait for the next season.

A strong science fiction podcast powered by a complex ensemble of characters and anchored by excellent performances. Under the oppression of a despotic (but also naive) ruler, the people of Proxima struggle to either get through the day or find their own ways to resist. Some try to advance in society and some try resist, but ultimately it looks like they'll have to band together to survive.With crisp writing, world-building, characters, music and sound design, this is absolutely well worth your time.

Great openings are key, and WHAT AN OPENING! But it´s not just the opening that makes this show amazing. The sound and production is simply outstanding, and I find myself immediately drawn in to this fantastic world.To top it off the cast is phenomenal and delivers great performances each and every one.Don´t miss this chance to dive in to a world you don´t want to leave.
