Popular Reviews of Barren

This wonderful and chilling story had me hooked from the start. There´s something mesmerizing about Peters voice that draws me in and has me on the edge of my seat. The writing and acting is so clever, it feels very natural, sincere and authentic. I love the way the mystery is slowly but effectively presented, along with the town history and the secrets of Peters family. Bingeworthy - as I did!

Suspense! Creepiness! Barren is a well done podcast you can listen to straight through (best if you do). Check it out.

The type of spooky feels that you can’t help but want more of

Loved it! It's scary (great sound effects, it really plays with the medium), well written and a solid cast. It was chilling, disturbing at times - I really appreciate how it uses the tapes to jump to unexpected situations. Thank you for such a great experience!

There is a certain art in building genuine suspense, and I believe this audio drama is a masterpiece of suspense. The episodes end on cliffhangers, the production and sound design are used to their best advantage, and the pacing is just right. This is the kind of audio drama that is very easy to jump into.

This was such a trip. Creepy/spooky with lots of surprises in a tiny one binge package.

A good start had me spooked and confused, but a rushed ending. In the rare moments of action not much is clear from the audio, you have to wait for explanations.excessively clear leap for the second part.
