if any of you guys are listening for the first time, YES this has an overarching story with reoccurring characters. it doesn't initially seem like it, but it very much is. and jon isn't narrating the whole time either, you will hear other voices eventually. this podcast is a great slowburn with a carefully plotted story, it's really astounding how well they planned it out. its a big investment to get into but very worth it!

anglerfish is a fitting title, considering the pilot episode is bait so Jonny Sims can make me weep for 5 seasons

[amythetoon]

love how the series starts with jon just roasting gertrude

[GraceT]

The beginning of this podcast is giving me “person hired to do a job, that wasn’t previously informed that everything was a mess, and then got super annoyed when they showed up and realized how much shit they’d have to clean up” vibes.

Huh this Jonathan dude seems chill, hope none of this spooky stuff ends up affecting him too much

[TheJuliana]

damn, the anglerfish thought is scary. usually in horror stories, what you see is what you get - but this terrifying humanoid creature is a BAIT for an ever MORE terrifying creature.

“even when THE STRANGER asked me again”

clever real clever

[countessclock]

I'm glad to be relistening to this series *yet again*, this one in particular is a really clever hook into the series.... the Anglerfish, a luring statement that has literally lured people into the series, how amusing

[ashlanepage]

When the whole world is deathly afraid of coronavirus, it's nice to be scared about creepy Anglerfish instead.

[John-pkzz]

Made a mistake listening to this alone in a creepy library

[amniamin]

Remember when this was the scariest thing ever? When you first listen to this episode? Things were so much more simple then. No pain. No sadness. Just the Anglerfish, no context.

Gosh this podcast broke me.

Update: I just reached 200 and.. well I guess I deserved that after writing this comment.

[batmenicStopMotion]

In retrospect, Anglerfish is the perfect title for this first episode

[balsamicvinegar]

Well tumblr...let's see what the hell you keep going on about.
Edit: Ok it was worth the hype holy hell. I'm at season two and it is amazing.
Edit 2: ...season five man...season five. It's broken me stg--

[Evethedragon]

I kept seeing this tag on Tumblr, idk what this is but I like fictional podcasts. So far, I'm enjoying this.

[dilophosaurussk]

I would like to raise a toast in the name of my extremely based Slovak teacher for allowing me to watch as much of this podcast as i want and call it homework.

What a strange way to start a gay fluff, comfort-no-angst, co-workers to lovers, workplace romantic comedy 10k words no beta we die like Leitner!

[lark]

Oh no I'm getting the vibes this is not the best thing to listen to for the first time at night

[TheLighterwolf]

everyone and their mother on tumblr stans this and i finally broke and started. let's go boys

[KingOfIthaca]

As a Mechanisms fan listening to this for the first time- my first thought upon hearing Jon’s narration is “omg it’s Jonny Dville” and I don’t think I’m going to escape that mental image

Alright, I think I'm emotionally prepared for a relisten now... I say, as I try to ignore the dread at relistening to scenes that would leave me sobbing and wanting give these people (especially Jon) a goddamn hug
