What I liked
Funny writing, musical interjections that feel like interjections akin to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend or Flight of the Conchords in the best of ways, and really nice voice acting work from our podcast host.
What I didn't like
Would love more songs just accompanied by guitar. Those were my favorite songs and the balance with un-mic’d voices just worked out better in the space.
My overall impression
A fun time for musical lovers and podcast lovers alike! Murder Podcast: The Musical is a fun little comedy with surprisingly catchy songs that don’t feel like typical musical fare. The plot is simple and to the point, the characters are well defined from get, and the tongue in cheek and self aware writing pokes fun at the true crime podcast medium while still showing obvious love for the form.
With fun twists to boot and some simple but effective tech design choices, Murder Podcast: The Musical is a delight and the team should be super proud.
