I highly recommend it

I highly recommend listening to Children of Fear. It is a gigantic odyssey and extremely engaging. I found myself transported back in time on an adventure journey through Asia, filled with many mysteries, secrets, battles and surprises. The investigators and the Keeper with their captivating personalities enhanced this experience every step of the way.

Genius

This is, hands down, the best Call of Cthulhu, live play podcast. The pace and play is just great and the relationships between the players translate into their characters, who are acted brilliantly. Phaedre, the Keeper, has a great balance of drama & action with investigation and allowing the characters to interact and engage together. The NPCs are great, too. Most of all it is fun. The game is taken seriously but the players don't take themselves too seriously and are clearly enjoying it; which helps the listener to fit right in as a happy participant.

This is how to do a live play podcast.

Unmissable!

The Stars Are Right is an excellent actual play podcast. The audio quality is superb and the enhances the excellent storytelling from the whole team. Brilliantly ran by a keeper who allows things to flow and the players weave their story. Scary, gripping and funny. If you are a fan or Call of Cthulhu or any RPG or a new to this then you can do no better than start here.

Always enjoyable, compelling and well produced

A great podcast - combining high technical quality with action, humour and great storylines, many of which have been written by the cast themselves.
You'll come for the cosmic horror, and stay for the witty, enjoyable yet compelling way it plays out among friends, accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack, carefully and competently produced.
