I had this on my radar for awhile before I got to it. I’m not really one who is into space stories, but this podcast had some fandoms that I’m in recommend it highly. And now I can see why. It’s a beautiful story made to encapsulate the best and worst of humanity, and you often manage to feel a form of sympathy or appreciation for some of the more ‘evil’ characters. This is a very story driven podcast that starts to get truly interesting around episode 11, and which gifts you with an amazing cast of morally complex and interesting characters. A great story with an amazing end.

I’ve had this show in my list for ages, finally got around to it the other day. WOW, so good! I haven’t made it all the way thru yet, but I’m already really bummed it ended after 4 seasons. Great story, solid twists, great voice acting and sound design. Give it a listen.

I just can’t find the humor.

One of the first podcasts I listened to thanks to recommendations on Reddit. An absolutely great story that has gained status as one of the few pieces of media I keep returning to!

SUCH a fun, hilarious, cozy, and charming show. I’m so glad I started listening to it. The characters are all lovely, and I adore their dynamics. Great audio work too, it feels so real even when it’s extremely silly.

I just started listening, and now I’m at season 4! I love this pod. The characters and storyline are well done and the twists and turns in the story are really great!

What a captivating story!! I can’t stop listening. Never been a big reader because of reading and attention problems. This is a game changer for me !! Love sci fy and fantasy stories . Really lose my self in the stories and picture it all. Gets me through work ! Thank u can’t wait to see where this story goes!

Since falling in love with Mission to Zyxx, I’ve had high standards. Initially the show made me wonder what’s was so good about it and tempted me to fall asleep (especially with the calm, spacey intro music that starts every episode). Due to my friend’s recommendation, I decided to stick with it to see how it improved. I’m glad I did. Season 2, here we go! The plot and characters do get better…the acting becomes more believable, and it gets you at the edge of your seat. ✨

I would give literally anything to have this podcast go back to being as free. But they never had a patreon, or ever asked in their episodes while I was listening for listener support. And now there’s ads in the beginning, middle, and end. I used to listen to this to fall asleep and now its just god awful more ad then show. Amazing writing, great podcast. Ruined by ads. Would have loved to be a supporter to prevent that but they didn’t even try that option.

Wolf 359 is smart, exciting, occasionally hysterical, and deeply sad. There’s nothing quite like it.

I loved the first seasons and was really happy to see the whole thing through. The writing is very good and it is a compelling story. I struggled in the later seasons and lots of Season 4 with the voice acting. As more characters were added in S3 it was hard for me to track who was speaking. Newer characters in S4 were more distinct, but I was still confused from time to time. Could just me me and a bad ear, though. Overall, really good.

Wolf 359 is, hands down, my favorite podcast of all time. I don’t listen to much Sci-fi, yet Wolf 359 kept me intrigued since the first episode. Personally, I found my second listen to be even more enjoyable- seeing everything laid out and fall into place was SO satisfying, all of the little hints coming into play!

Great podcast. Hilbert was my favorite character. I do think that Hilbert was waaaaay more jolly and light hearted in season one than in season 2 or 3. I like jolly Hilbert better than grumpy Hilbert. Did anyone else notice this?

Definitely not my favorite podcast … One thing that really made me dislike this podcast was just how much the characters argued! Now i can understand, they’re in a spaceship they really want to get off, of course you’re going to be irritated with your crew mates, but holy crap it felt like they never stopped! It seemed like the only way a big thing/plot point could be through arguing, all the characters get into an argument, somebody accidentally reveals something big while they’re yelling, everybody’s surprised and then they talk about that big thing that was revealed. Plus, besides that, it just felt like a LOT of arguing in general, as i said earlier, totally understandable that all the characters are annoyed with each other, and maybe it’s just the way i was raised, but i feel like they could’ve done something else to solve their issues! Another thing, some lines are quite cheesy 😅 If Doug says something cheesy, i don’t really mind it because he is just like that. One thing i really liked was Doug’s and Minkovski’s friendship, very sweet!

Hey I’d like to say, by far one of the most exiting, intelligent and not to mention downright hilarious at times live pod/radio shows I’ve heard to date, really enjoyed listening to Wolf 359. That said, I was wondering, as I start up watching star trek deep space 9 I had forgotten the base that the surgically modified Jean Luke Picard attacked just pior to the first episode, was called Wolf 359. Any coincidence there guys? Just asking…. Anyhow loved the show would recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi literature or story content that will surprise you! Thanks so much for putting it out there guys! 2018 - p.s. 3/23/2023- I’m currently re-listening, and i must say that it has aged well! Even more nuance and subtle details have revealed themselves on the second time around, and the foreknowledge of what’s to come does not spoil the experience in the least. Thanks to all of you who created this masterful presentation.

Funny with a overarching story and great memorable characters. This took me on a journey and I’m still sad it’s over. The story unravels a little slowly in the beginning, but its worth it. One of my favorites ❤️

I’m so glad that I found this. I’ve been sharing it with a lot of friends, who also enjoy it.

Really loved some of the references to Cabin Pressure

After listening to literally every single episode of this podcast, I really wish there was more. This podcast has such a good story and evolves so much as you go along. I couldn’t have asked for a better audio drama to enjoy while I work and go on trips. If anyone is looking for entertainment, I highly recommend this podcast. Thank you Wolf 359 team, for this entire show, and I hope your lives are well.

I agree with Sharkie’s review. A bit too upbeat and silly at first, but I wasn’t going to stop vacuuming to find a new podcast.. Point being, a mere 599 sq. ft. later, the tone had completely shifted to a fast-paced I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS near-future drama with characters I felt like I’d known forever. A+ sound mixing. No volume adjust needed. LOVE the nod to “Canaveral.” Perfect villain(s) and villainous voice acting..it’s almost like you know… I wish that voice actor would read all my work texts Much love from the original space coast USA 🫡😎🇺🇸🚅 *Challenger forever*

Absolutely fantastic show with really compelling characters. It did start off kind of rough, in my opinion, because it was very wacky and lighthearted. The tone does change in the show and the characters are developed really well over time, it just needs a little while to get there.

Very bingeable, needed a better hook at beginning and can be cheesy at some points but overall very entertaining and I would 100% recommend

Tires is by far one of the best sci-fi audio dramas out there. A must listen to all.

Awesome podcast, one of my top 3. Black girl magic! Love you forever Isabel Loveless 💖

Hands down the best audio drama released in the past decade.

Drifting back in to the reviews after my sixth listen-through, it’s great. It simply is. All other podcasts are measured against the towering pillar of wolf 359 and they all come up short in some way. This is my comfort podcast food. This is the way television should be written instead of the bilge that we have now. This is the best of dialogue and old radio serials. This is the pinnacle of character development. This is the achievement of a generation. It really should be more popular.

This is my 3rd time listening to this podcast. I love it so much. It always makes me cry in several parts and that’s ok. I will never stop listening to it :)

My daughter turned me onto this program which she's listened to several times. The plot twists come with no warning. The characters are believable and engaging. Character driven show with great sci-fi action. Great family listening. I look forward to each episode!

This podcast is far and away the best fiction podcast I’ve listened to. The characters are well developed, wonderful storyline and thought provoking plots. I also love how the podcast never takes itself too seriously and has plenty of comic relief. This is a true gem and I can’t recommend it enough to others!

This is the most cathartic thing I have ever listen to

I’m only a few episodes in I love this so much! It’s so fun and it’s addicting! People are leaving reviews saying this is bad because he burps ONCE and they call it Star Trek. It’s literally not stop. Also, yes to that one review people are still stupid enough to smoke in the future. It’ll also be around. Anyways, this is a good podcast forget about those bad reviews and try it yourself!

These reviews about smoking and a burp ? Calling this a Star Trek? LOL! Those reviews are bogus and didn’t give this podcast a chance. This was one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listen to, the character development was amazing. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!

Like others have stated, I wasn't super stoked in the beginning. But then some time around the plant monster, I started really loving it. When I first started, someone wrote a review that said "it starts off silly and gets dark." And that is so true. The storyline took such a different turn and I actually felt sad knowing I was at the finale. The introduction of new characters was amazing and I really loved (most of) them. I became so emotionally involved with this podcast. So I came here to say, don't give up on it. It might take a few episodes, or even seasons, but this podcast becomes amazing. Bravo everyone.

Lost me at contraband cigarettes. I can’t stand this new Star Trek. In a future without poverty or hungry and medical advancements you expect me to believe that people are still stupid enough to smoke?

It didn’t happen right away- in fact- I would try starting it, become annoyed, and then switch it off …many times!!.. BUT once during a long drive I made it through the first five episodes and before I knew it- I was waaaaay hooked! I binged the entire thing and -to my surprise- by the end of the podcast I found that I had become attached to the very character who annoyed me so much at the start. This podcast snuck up on me and stole my attention. Thank you so much for the hours of easy fun for my brain. Ps. I still don’t love the guy with the accent. Why does it sound so very very fake to me? Am I the one who’s wrong here? There is no way that that is what a Russian accent sounds like right?!

Great show! I particularly like how the characters change over time.

Great

You must lissen to this at chor earliest convenience… or I may be withholding the inoculations holding your life in tha precarious balance you believe is “normal” Wait, wait, wait… was that your Dr Hilbert impersonation? Love the show!!!! Fantastic writing, great acting, you all are wonderful!!

After years of listening to podcasts and audio books this one is at the top of my list. The voice acting is phenomenal, the characters are lovable, the story is at times funny and always compelling, but there are moments that are so beautiful they are like a punch to the heart. This was the podcast that I never wanted to end, but like all the best things in life, it eventually must. I feel enriched for having experienced it, and for that I am grateful.

Burp within the first 10 seconds? Bye.

Think about it How did he survive the SPOILER in the finale? That doesn’t make sense! And the SPOILER Jacobi from episode 42 could just keep regenerating because of the SPOILER powers.

Wolf 359 is one of my favorite pieces of media of all time. The storytelling and characters are engaging and masterfully done. The show is funny, but doesn’t shy away from being serious when needed. I have listened to this show repeatedly and I am sure it will continue to be a favorite of mine for a long time. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Still one of the most entertaining, funny, and engaging podcasts I’ve ever listened to.

The best audio drama I’ve ever listened to, and one of the best stories I’ve ever interacted with. It takes a few episodes to really zero in on what makes it so special, but once you get to episode 10 it’s got you. Creators are so conscientious, actors are incredible as performers and people, and the representation of mental health through H.E.R.A.‘s arc is the best I’ve ever seen.

This is not what I was looking for, but it’s fun.

The absolute pinnacle of audio fiction. Nothing else even comes close.

Hilarious and a great story

Bad acting and annoying voices.

This is the only podcast I've been listening to it. I'm hooked.

One of the best podcasts out there!
