Gods & Lies

229
Drama #240

An investigator with a damaged reputation reluctantly teams up with a disgraced son of a Goddess to solve the murder of a mortal. To crack the case, they venture into the underbelly of immortal society, make deals with demigods, and risk the wrath of the powerful to expose the truth. But the pursuit of justice is rife with danger, and if they aren’t careful, they could be next on the murderer’s list. In this contemporary fantasy where humans live at the whims of Gods and Goddesses, accusing one of murder has disastrous consequences.In Season 2, Justix Iris Tharro is back with another murder to solve— but this time, it’s Andy’s fate on the line. If she can’t prove he’s innocent of the crime, the Gods will have their vengeance. Andymion Eriki, disgraced demigod, has been blamed for a murder. Actually, make that framed. He escapes from his immortal prison to plead his case to the only person he can trust: Iris. With only three days to find the real culprit before vicious beasts come for their heads, Andy and Iris must figure out which Gods they can trust, or they’ll both end up dead. Gods & Lies is a Realm production, created and written by Elizabeth Vail.

  • AllTheGoodNicknamesAre Taken
    Film Noir Set in a Novel Environment
    A female detective investigates crime on behalf of the Gods, who now walk among mortals. Tricky stuff, complicated by baggage in the form of a son of a Goddess. Taking a time honored genre and anchoring it in a new milieu is risky but this podcast pulls it off, honoring the traditions of the genre while incorporating new elements that make it seem fresh and new. Highly recommended.

    Love It
    One of my favorite podcasts. If you like fantasy, it’s definitely worth a listen.
  • Rookie's Mom
    An Entertaining Podcast with a Timely Message
    The themes of power and accountability are addressed here as a mortal and demigod take on gods and goddesses who can do as they please with their powers and escape consequences for their actions. We don't have to look very far afield to see that those with power in the US are rarely brought to justice or held accountable for crimes. The voice actors are great and the writing was fantastic. I was in after listening to the first episode. I'm grateful there is a season two!

    Frequent Ads, Quickly Lost Interest
    This may or may not be a good podcast, but I'll never know. I abaondoned it after too many mid stream interuption that broke the flow of the narrative.
  • KrovVned
    Excellent
    I'm supposed to be working but I got so caught up in this story that I've hardly done a thing all day
  • danger336
    Realms better show
    I loved this so much. The excitement and character development along the way. Incorporating mystery and crime into the fantasy world was such a great idea. The voices and sounds made it seem like you’re right there. I could listen to 75 seasons of this and would love if it were developed into a streaming series, I hope it keeps going
  • PeachySpeechy
    Season 2 as good as Season 1
    Another awesome story line and great characters. What a great series!
  • OPJelloQueen
    It’s as good as you’d hope
    Honestly, one of realm’s best shows. They take full advantage of exploring the world that they introduce and they leave nothing to be desired when it comes to sound design. Even the voice actors saying the other MC’s lines as the POV changes takes little from the show. Honestly, I think it’s a really great way to change perspective. The gods and creatures are all very well written. I can’t think of a point where the writing pulled me out of the story. I hope the creative team are proud of themselves. This show is QUALITY and beautifully done.

    Underrated, But Amazing!
    This podcast deserves way more love than it gets. The story is engaging and fun, the voice actors are sharp and emotive (with no annoying vocal habits), the ambient sounds are done particularly well, and the world they’ve crafted here is fantastic, fascinating, and fully-realized. This deserves an Amazon Prime series, but barring that I cannot wait for season three!
  • DataTater

    So much fun

  • TangoDuo
    American Gods CSI
    An urban fantasy premise, mythic gods living side by side with humans, a PI and a demigod set up for good trouble… this really reminded me of the American Gods TV show (and I can see from the cover art too). The narrators are top-notch, and excited to listen to more!
  • todayisagoodday25
    Reminded me of Good Omens
    …which I absolutely loved. This is so much more fun than any other podcast I’ve listened to. Can’t wait for the next episode.
  • Cole123-
    I need the next episode now.
    It’s like a police procedural...but with Gods & Goddesses. Which is, as it turns out, what every procedural I’ve ever seen has always needed.
  • Audionerd33
    LOVE!
    Fresh storytelling giving me LIFE. A murder mystery with gods and goddesses? I am here for it.
  • KynMT
