First episode in the prologue has some Plosives and certain parts were difficult to hear but these minor, minor issues seemed to have been fixed in later episodes.
Great story and it has really grabbed me so far. I’m on the 4th chapter on going strong on it. Mark’s emotional narration keeps you wide awake, really helps with the energy of the story, and addes to the excitement.

Why should I suddenly have a problem with episodes downloading? I cannot get chapters 10 or 11.
August 8th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
Good question, Jennifer. I’m not subscribed to the book, but when I check the links to the files on 10 and 11, they work just fine for me. We don’t host the audio files on our site, so maybe the Podshow server was holding them back for some reason? Try it again, or click the links directly from the book page.

I’m on chapter five and really like this book. Great story and I love Marks narration.

I got a 404 on chapter 20 through the iTunes links.

Please fix Chapter 20. It’s gone missing.

I just checked out database, and Chapter 20 (which is episode 22) works OK for me. I also checked episode 20 in case you meant that. It also works.
These files aren’t hosted by us on Podiobooks.com — we just provide links to the files on Podshow. So maybe they had a glitch? If you access the book’s page, you should be able to manually download the episodes. I was!

I also am having troubles with Chapter 20. Is there another way to get it?
Thanks

Great story…a little creepy at times but that’s what makes it great. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend to listen to this at night before bed or in the dark. I know i was jumping at every noise I heard and kept looking over my shoulder for humanoid coyotes. Mr. Nemcoff does an amazing job of adding emotion to the story. The suspense of the story was great. There were times where it was kind of scaring the shit out of me but I couldn’t stop listening. I actually listened to this book without previously listening to season one, but everything made perfect sense and I didn’t feel lost or like I absolutely had to read season one to understand season two. I’m hoping there’s going to be a third season because I will definitely subscribe to it.

Fantastic! I love stories about the journeys and adventures of the ‘tortured soul’ and Badlands is an excellent representation of that style. Nemcoff’s narration is extremely compelling. The story is dark and creepy, but I couldn’t stop listening. I’m gonna have to wait until season 3 is completely finished cuz listening only a chapter at a time will drive me nuts wanting more.

Mark’s narration is sometimes over dramatic. It reminds me of Captain James T Kirk of the Starship Enterprise on Speed! Numerous times he will read a sentence, drawing you along with dramatic emphasis, pause briefly, then finish the last part in a very calm way as if it wasn’t of any great importance. I found it slightly annoying, but not enough to distract me from the overall story, which I think was very enjoyable.

I gave up after two episodes, the reading style just grated on me. I found having literally every sentence emphasised like it was the climax to whole story exhausting at first and down right irritating after 20 minutes.

The story is one that I really want listen to till the end, I am up to chapter 3, it is an excellent story so far. As others have said here unfortunately the narration style can on occasion be quite distracting. I think the Narrator may be trying to get across a sense of tension and excitement by speeding up the reading and changing the tone and volume of the voice, then pauses. I am afraid it only works to a certain degree for me, as often it doesnt seem to be required and is out of proportion with what is actually being said. Although it is far better than listening to a monologue from somebody who sounds a bit bored by the whole thing. Too much of a good thing in the Narration, a bit like using to many exclamation marks when writing or something, but a very good story.

You can’t have enought

Here’s the conundrum: this is a very cool book, with some nods and winks to Stephen King’s “Gunslinger”, our protagonist is caught in dark, deserted world with an even darker past. Historically, well-considered and conceived, it’s an apocalyptic tale and the author brings it to your with knuckles bared. It’s raw and gritty and also well-produced. I’ll recommend this book highly, but with the same observation (complaint) that others have stated: there’s such thing as over-reading for emphasis. The narration by the author is perhaps excessive. It would seem that in his enthusiasm to convey emotion and excitement, he takes it a bit over the top. Getting past that, you’ll love it.

where is season 2?
March 30th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
excellent book, I love it wish it was in print so my wife could enjoy it (she cant stand audiobooks lol) eager to hear more.

I like the story. Did the word Hillbilly exist in 1850? I don’t think it did.

A very good horror story…very imaginative and creepy..
The narrative style may not be to everyone’s taste but no one can deny that he is a talented guy and overall, a good performer.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Is there a season 3? I have seen stuff online stating “coming in 2008″ but can not actually find the podiobook. I also cant get the last espisode (25) on iTunes.. anyone know where I can get it?

I like the story, and like the reader’s choice in voices except the one he uses for the narrator. The inflections and emphasis he uses for that sounds more like Casey Kasem than capturing the spookieness he’s attempting.
