  • Summary

  • It’s not the end of the world…it’s much worse than that.

    When the world was supposed to end everyone did things they never normally would…none more so than Siobhan, who wakes up on her floor, hungover, dumped by her no-good boyfriend and with a strange man in her bed…who turns out to be more than a little bit dead.

    A comedy thriller that features snappy dialogue, a crunching soundtrack and immersive sound design all set on a university campus that is filled with cold corpses, weird suspects, and the occasional wild hippo. A whodunnit that turns into 'a what the hell did I do?' and ends up asking 'who am I?'

    A Whistledown Production.

    Starring Sooz Kempner, Tuwaine Barrett, Juliet Aubrey and Laurely Lefkow. Based on an original idea by series producer Lance Dann and written by Adam Barnard and Sonia Jalaly, with sound design by Simon James, music by Orlando Harrison, and the executive producer was Anishka Sharma.

Lighthearted Romp

The fact that I binge listened this story means that I thoroughly enjoyed this.

It was a light-hearted, easy listen, low-fi sci-fi, mystery. I found the writing and the performances to be very good.

Weird and Wonderful

Funny, quirky, disturbing, and down right good fun. A mystery for modern times. Great performances too.

Fun freebie


Cliche after cliche cringeworthy lines, but it made me giggle and there was a vague plot to hold it together.

Loved the prime ministers speech, just classic Boris.

Giggle worthy!

Fun little podcast that doesn't take itself too seriously. Well acted with enough of a storyline to keep me listening.

Pretty bad storyline, but entertaining in car

The story was ok - Not worth paying for, but good for free while driving.

Great sounding not the end of the world madness

Great sounds and music to this one, a real joy you listen to! An immersive experience that draws you into what is a pretty daft comedy thriller thing. The rom com parts dont really work, because some of the script is a bit wishy washy, but the whodunnit is fun, there's some great acting and all the sounds are great.

Overall this a great premise and a bit if a hidden treat Left me wondering what I would have been caught doing in the same situation!

Utterly bonkers and rather fabulous

There’s something deliciously nuts about this series… like being stuck in someone’s demented fever dream. Not everything works but there’s some terrific writing and laugh out loud delivery, and it’s a slick and entertaining package overall. Well worth hearing.
