I absolutely loved the whole podcast but i dont think ill ever listen to TMP. I tried the first episode and couldnt make it past five minutes in because i missed Jon and Martin LOL also the episode with the monster where the blanket never protected you was so goddamn scary it was amazing i recommend this to everyone interested in horror

Ridiculous amount of ads

Ep 3 didn’t start until minute 7…. This is ridiculous I completely was removed from the vibe…

Audio quality has declined

TMA is in of itself worthy of 5 stars, but the Magnus Protocols have been harder to enjoy due to the audio mixing. Character dialogue is sometimes incomprehensible from how muffled it is or due to other sound effects overshadowing it. Compared to how crisp things are in TMA, I am rather frustrated with the way things are at the moment.

This podcast is a work of art. The amount of adds is undeniably annoying, but if you really can’t handle them, just skip them. The plot and meta plot is intricate and well crafted. Look back in the comments a little and you’ll see “moment of clarity” who I completely agree with. The Magnus archives may be dry for the beginning but it gets a lot better. This podcast is cosmically good. 10/10 no notes.

how dare you?

the ads are out of control, and the actual sound quality of the podcast is horrible! a very amateur horror presentation, feels like some random college kid alone in his dorm trying to scalp as much money as possible from a goosebumps ripoff
