Windfall

218

Ever since the castle first appeared in the sky above the city of Windfall, its residents have been building upward. Now the city consists of towers where the wealthiest residents live at the top while the poor eke out a living on the ground. Our podcast follows Cas, Shaima, and Argus, three brothers who live with their Uncle Vern after being orphaned during the grounder rebellion twenty years earlier. They find themselves drifting apart as Argus, the youngest, falls hopelessly in love with the much-older Helina, a foreign merchant haunted by her past; Cas, the middle brother, works in secret for the local crime boss; and Shaima, the oldest, struggles to keep their uncle’s scrap shop from going under. When Cas’s best friend, Kendall, is offered a position with the Wolfpac, Windfall’s military cult that acts as the city’s police, Cas is forced to decide where his loyalties lie. Meanwhile, something sinister looms over the city itself, threatening the lives of all who live in Windfall, from the wealthiest residents to the ground-level poor. Start at Episode 1.00.

    Rich, menacing fantasy
    Some of my favorite high fantasy & YA fantasy fiction has been replaced in my brain to make more space for Windfall & the richness of its world, & I'm okay with that !!! It's near flawless in every respect, & more than that, Windfall has this terrifying whimsy that takes hold of you & never lets go... Subscribe ASAP !!!

    So good
    I binged this in a day. The production is amazing. I can’t wait for it to come back for season two.

    Enjoyable
    I binged this show over two days. I enjoyed the story and the production, sound, etc is excellent. A few performances are a little stiff but they get better as the season goes on.

    Phenomenal
    Wow, I cannot day enough good things about this podcast. The quality of the production, the voice acting, the story are all some of the absolute best I’ve listened to.
  • GoodPointe
    Worth a second listen...
    On my first Windfall binge I was immediately blown away by the sound design and the immense scope of the world building. On my second binge, I found a wealth of subtle details to appreciate. The Windfall script was obviously given time to mature and reach its full potential. Multiple intersecting storylines and character arcs are seamlessly woven together and the pacing never feels too crowded or rushed or slow. Every bit of emotional conflict is fully earned in the writing and in the acting. A group of sloshing-full passionate hearts emptied themselves out while making this beautiful epic masterpiece. Give it a first and a second listen.

    Theater of the mind...
    I have heard a lot of soundscape dramas - some that date back to the 1940’s - this is top notch world building and character development! Love the production values!!!
  • AUTHNTF
    Intriguing and immersive!
    From the writing, to the acting, to the sound design, this podcast is incredibly well crafted. It’s so much fun to throw it on and let the world unfurl around you.
  • Bkbmx
    Awesome!
    Can’t wait for more!
  • kyliedaum
    Extremely entertaining!
    I’m new to podcasts and have been looking for a good narrative, this is perfect! The universe is already so intriguing and I cannot wait for more!!

    Riveting
    This is an incredible, immersive podcast and I ask myself almost daily if the next ep is out yet. Audio drama is so hard to do well and yet, Windfall is crushing it.
  • xSckitx
    The sound design is INCREDIBLE!
    I'm absolutely baffled as to how amazing the sound design of this audio drama is. Like, the story is awesome too and the voice actors are super good but like, the person who does the sound design needs an award cause this is some of the best I've heard!
  • Janebalane
    So well done!
    Loved the first episode, can’t wait to get more into the story. The sound is amazing and the multidimensional cast is so much fun!
  • alittlejstillz
    Excited to hear more
    I was immediately captured by this show’s immersive soundscape and talented cast. The world is so full and well realized right off the bat. Can’t wait to hear more!
  • Elephrank
    Beautifully Crafted
    The actors and sound design all do an amazing job of making you feel immersed in this universe. Episode 1 has definitely caught my eye (ear?) and I can’t wait to hear more!
  • MapesAllison
    Episodes can’t come fast enough
    I started the first episode on my way to work and couldn’t wait to leave so I could keep listening. So happy to have another podcast to be hooked on
  • Laney Raymonda
    Awe inspired
    Wow. Just wow. From the first few minutes I was absolutely hooked. The characters are so captivating, and the composition just pulls everything together. I am so amazed
  • Dklarkin
    Production value!!
    The production on this serial fiction podcast is amazing. They really do such an amazing job at producing the sounds to make this story immersive and draw you in!
  • QMattv
    Nothing like it
    I listen to my fair share of podcast, including a few scripted fictions. Windfall is up there with the best of them. Two episodes in and the world building is unique and writing compelling. However, where this show really shines is it’s production. This is one of the most interesting and best sounding podcasts I’ve ever heard. There are subtleties in the mixing that consistently surprise me, like the forcing of perspective by adjusting room noise around who is speaking. It’s all subtle, never annoying and you would never know unless you listen for it, but it makes the whole production feel more like something out of HBO than a free pod. One last note - whoever casted this show is a genius. These actors and actresses hit it out of the park with every line and deserve recognition and major accolades. Probably the best acted podcast I’ve heard, even compared to Bubble and Nightfall. Just subscribe. If you’re reading reviews to see if you’ll like it then you’re in deep enough for me to tell you that you will... Just. Subscribe.

    Sweeping and imaginative!
    From the opening scene, I was invested in the world of Windfall. The sound design is amazing and the cast of voice actors is incredibly talented. I can't pick a favorite character yet; they're all well-rounded and well-written. A sweeping and imaginative world... I can't wait to see where the next episodes go!
  • Connor Benincasa
    Incredible world building and storytelling!

    Hooked!
    I’ve already powered through the first two episodes and can’t wait to hear where the story goes!! Waiting another few weeks is going to be torturous! Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get sucked in to (in the best way possible) a new, amazing podcast.

    The bomb dot com!
    Wanda strikes me as the love child of Professor Umbridge and Eddie Trinket, and I mean that in the best was possible. Also this whole podcast just rules so much—can’t wait to see how the narrative unfolds!
  • TauZaman
    Ear candy from start to finish!
    A gorgeously realized setting, intriguing story, really nifty sound design, larger than life voice work, and a very obviously passionate team behind all of it.

    This little piece of Sci fi perfection came from nowhere!! This is a dream for anyone who is remotely a fan of this genre. Such great listening!! Also more Kendal for life. Can’t wait for more Kendal.
  • marie238
    Excited!
    I seriously cannot wait to listen every week just after listening to the preview!!
  • EmBattz
    I know I am biased buuuuuuuuut...
    ... I know I worked on this project so I obviously have skin in the game but even if I didn’t I would be so so super stoked to hear how this goes down. With such a superb cast of voice actors and deft writers’ hands from Bob and Christie and the passion and technical expertise of Adam... I mean... how could this NOT be good?!?! 10 out of 5 stars!!
  • gabbyevergreen
