This podcast exceeded all my expectations: better than any audio book and way more entertaining than watching TV. Innovative and captivating from start to finish, I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended!!!

Humorous and clever!! Absolutely love the cast and story line. Just the right amount of thrilling for me. Loving the listen so far 👍👏🥰

This show is so good, loved every second! The world is chock-full of interesting characters, enriching sound design, witty dialogue, the whole you-name-it for an entertaining listen. The world building in both seasons is very meticioulus and unique. From following an overbearing landlord to a crazed kidnapper, both stories are told with their own eccentrics and voice. The paths unraveling such crime has been nothing short of an adventure. It’s clear that lots of talent and passion is sculpting The Bystanders; I applaud the cast and crew! Excited to see anything new in the works!

Jane!! Love you . Kristen you’re so funny!! Thanks for a second season.

So good. A must listen.

What a pleasure! This was very entertaining!!

This podcast is amazing. It is so thrilling and unexpected. Jane and Kristin make it 10x better!!

Great podcast, great cast, great storytelling

I cannot get enough of this cast and the beautiful work of art that is the Bystanders! Please let there be a season 2! Even if it has some different characters! The writing and production was wonderful and I feel like whatever they come up with will be top notch! Please let us all have another adventure with The Bystanders and Jane Lynch! Ever since glee I’ve been looking for some new Lynch content and this is just perfect! 5 stars, hands down!

Fun listen, well produced, could picture the story well based on the sound effects etc

Really enjoyed this thanks

I really love the podcast

Fantastic story and voice acting, EXCEPT for episode 6 which includes significant eating, chewing and slurping noises. Why would you tell your audience to wear headphones and then include this? Takes a couple stars away from the whole series.

Eight episodes wasn’t enough. Loved the wit, the twisted dialog and nutball characters. The actors made for a great ensemble. Can’t pick a single favorite because they’re all top notch. But if I had to, Jane Lynch as the narrator and Ash Lendzion as Sara Fatbottom edged it out. The sound effects are their own character - so bring your earbuds to the party.

This was so funny and well written, had lots of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and constantly laughing. Loved it!

This was so funny and entertaining. Well written, acted and produced! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really wish there were more episodes. I’m looking forward to what this team develops next!

I binged it all and loved it!

I’m hooked on The Bystanders already and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the episodes! Episode 7 - Another great episode!! 👍🏻👏🏻❤️

love the show, of course Kristin is so funny, also love Karen Huie her Cantonese is hilarious. It's great if you understand cantonese but not necessary because her husband does a great job interepting. Really fun show to listen to

Great show! Love it!!

Very witty and crisp! Great writing and acting! Enjoyed the twist and turns and the lines are classic. Looking forward to more episodes! Can’t wait for Tuesdays when new episodes come out!

Love this show!

This cast is AMAZING! So many of my favorite actors in one place with an amazing script and narrations!

We’ll written and super entertaining…

Love what they’re doing! Great cast and interesting story

LOVE THIS PODCAST

This is an homage to classic radio programming. Vivid characters. Colorful story. I really enjoyed the acting and the unfolding of the story. The episodes are perfect length. This was a fun way to spend some time!

Killer comedy, star studded cast, this is one of the best fictional podcasts. From the writing to the production, it will leave you laughing on the edge of your seat. P.S.listen with headphones for a totally cool experience that’s out of this world, and into theirs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m absolutely loving this. So so well done. Great freaking job to everyone involved.

Be sure to check this out. So a fresh podcast and I’m not usually a fan of scripted podcasts.

Simply this is the BEST podcast i’ve ever listened to, the actor is on point, the setting, the feeling, all of this podcast is simply gold.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

I risk carbon dating myself by referring to the Golden Age of Radio as a measure of the pleasure of listening to the Bystanders! Suffice it to say every performance is spot on, the story and circumstances are hilarious, despite involving homicide. Letting your imagination color in the visuals draws the listener in like when transported by a great novel. I’m writing this review after listening to only two episodes so that should convey the impact of this production in a very short time. I’ll probably write another as the podcast releases new episodes but don’t expect to be disappointed at all! Can’t wait to see how it unfolds!! Brilliantly conceived and executed by a dedicated and talented team.

Love this podcast! I had so much fun trying to identify all the voices of the characters without looking it up. Also, Chuck Bass with his British accent, chefs kiss!

Awesome episodes! I can’t wait for next one!

Hilarious fictional story voiced by an all-star cast! I love that I get to paint the picture of the setting and characters in my mind as I listen. The sound effects and character voices are awesome. The one line zingers have me rolling, every time. I have only listened up to episode 3 so far and I can’t wait for more!

This is the first scripted pod I’ve ever listened to, and now I can’t get enough. It’s fun, clever, witty, interesting, and I’m loving every minute. I NEED to know how it ends. I’m literally foaming at the mouth.

Kristin Chenowith is GOLD in this... and Jane Lynch is perfect for this role. Exquisite casting. Top notch production. Very well done.

Before you dive into this long review, short version, this Podcast is hands down amazing. Stop what your doing and listen to it, you won’t be disappointed. My longer Review. I’ve never been an avid podcast listener. I can listen to music for hours or even watch a talk show now and then. Most podcasts laid in the middle ground of a great conversation I couldn’t see or a story I couldn’t picture. That changed with this Podcast. From the voice acting, the writing and right down to the tiny details of where sounds and effects should go, it pulls you deeper and deeper in. The comedy touches give you a laugh you didn’t know you needed while still holding on to the larger plot of the entire story. I’ve a huge fan of Ash Lendzion short films and skits that she’s created alongside Heather Morris. “Andy Made a friend”, “The Elevator” and throwing it way back to “Nothing but a Glee thing” are just a small portion of the work they have done that’s amazing. This podcast continues to shine a light on their amazing talent while bringing us the incredible voices of some of Broadways and comedy’s best talents.

This is very fun so far. Kristin Chenoweth is hilarious and clearly having a blast with her role. Can’t wait to see how it ends!

This is a great podcast. It has a wonderful cast and is so funny. I am looking forward to the next week episode.

This podcast is seriously the only reason I downloaded this. It’s amazing an I got everyone at work listening to it now. Really really should think about turning this into a mini series on TV because this would be amazing. Maybe like Netflix or Hulu will pick it up. Best thing I’ve heard so far in a long time on a podcast or radio in general.

It’s so good! Keeps me entertained when I’m bored! So fun to listen to while doing work and going on walks! Listening to it in the car! It’s amazing! Can’t wait for more!

This podcast is so creative and super funny. I love the unexpected turns it gives. It’s amazing, I need more!!

I originally only intended on listening because of the former glee stars starring in it (my apologies) but i literally cannot stop listening now. It’s just so intriguing.

I’ve never listened to this type of podcast before but I am absolutely hooked! The story, the sound effects, the incredible cast - you can tell a lot of work and thought went into every piece of this and it paid off. It’s different in the best way possible. Can’t wait to hear more!

This podcast is funny, well written and keeps me tuned in for more!

I love this podcast so much!❤️

Honestly I hate podcasts so much but I have fallen in love with this one. It is fun to listen to and I love the mysterious quality about it. I forced my sisters to listen and they loved it too. Hands down best podcast ever!! Congrats to everyone who is a part of it you all did amazing!!!

I’ve been listening to the podcast over the weekend and I love it! I can’t wait for the next episode
