"(Season 1) It was like listening to a movie, complete with soundtrack and sound effects. Despite enjoying it, I did feel like the first couple of episodes were a bit campy. But by episode 3 I was fully invested, and totally hooked...really thrilling writing and stellar character development. The voice acting on the whole was superb...Laputka has one hell of an imagination, and it would be a damn shame if he isn’t able to share more of it with the world."

"(Season 1 - Year: 2008-10) Simply stated, The Leviathan Chronicles has the most lavish production of any podcast I’ve ever heard. This is the summer blockbuster of podcasts with all that big budget visual special effects effort being dumped on your ears. The Leviathan Chronicles sounds like what it is: a professionally produced and acted vocal drama. Occasionally, flashbacks are necessary, I get that. However, I am still not a fan of flashbacks. I never have been. I feel like it shows a lack of preplanning on the part of the author. Verdict: I have many issues with The Leviathan Chronicles. The entire premise of the story is advanced science."

"(Season 1 - Year: 2008-10)...it’s hard to beat Christof Laputka’s The Leviathan Chronicles. Take our world and give us something hidden or never known before and I’m all over it. The Leviathan Chronicles does just that, dropping us into Macallan’s world of discovery, adventure and treachery. The story is rife with moral ambiguity; Macallan is of course told about the evils of the Other Side, but she later learns that her side has its share of atrocities."
