    Hours of top-notch entertainment
    Every single production is world class. Show after show, they knock it out of the park. First class actors. Lush audio. Detailed soundscapes. Original stories — funny and sad and horrifying and everything in between. Gorgeous music. Bravo

    Tom Clancy splinter cell & money gone
    Def. One of my favorites, good storyline, good acting, sounds were immersive, it’s a must listen if u like action. Excited to check out other titles Spoiler on ending That’s more than I got in my account, I’d definitely be happy with that.

    Fantastic - money gone! More please
    Great short listen, one of the better in recent memory. Please release more!

    Organize
    It’s so disorganized. Why don’t they divide the stories into their own individual shows?
  • Ladiwanderinstagram
    Organize!
    The stories are mostly good but they need to be organized they are just all thrown together and it makes no sense and I can’t keep the stories separate in my mind.

    Great Production Quality, Biased Stories
    While the production quality is excellent and the actors’ performances great, the stories are highly biased Marxist narratives against capitalism and white people. The most recent stories (Cobalt and Sabine) both advocate for illegal actions (theft, torture, destruction of property) against white people and big businesses in the name of reparations and climate justice. Sabine in particular advocates for breaking and entering and the emotional and physical torture of an old woman in the name of climate justice, which is just sickening. It is The BBC, but they should still not be advocating for violence.

    Cobalt!
    So I listed to Cobalt and I LOVED it. As an African it brought me so much joy to hear African voices, African accents, and African stories being told. But why are all Africans the same????? 😅😅😅😅😅the auntie on the plane is such an African auntie. And it’s true, in African culture everyone is family either your auntie or uncle

    Splendid podcast
    I dearly love this podcast for its audio quality and fabulous story series. Adored English Rose and Harlan series the most.

    Endings Need Work
    Consistently great concepts and stories, but too often having weak/rushed endings. Even if you’re going to have additional seasons later, the lame endings really need work. Please.
  • newamerykahn
    please organize your content for the love of god
    The stories are mostly good and enthralling. But for the love of god, if you’re not going to make each story it’s on podcast under your channel, at least separate each story into seasons so that we can find what we want faster and listen easier. You just slap new crap up with no care in the world recklessly. Have you no sense of content management? Don’t want to make it easier for people to find stuff? Do you enjoy torturing people and making them endlessly scroll?!

    Keneddy Fisher is back!!!
    Update: John Scott drydens new show is sooo good Update: this podcast gets better. “Better Pill is amazing”. I have been listening to limelight for more than a year now. Wohoo! If you are a fan of love craft investigations, kenddy fisher is in The Who is Aldrich kemp podcast!!! The system is amazing, I guess they changed the guys voice for season 2, cuz it’s a different dude.

    Mixed feelings
    Not sure what it is about the writers of this podcast. But every episode has a very good buildup for the storyline, but the ending seems very rushed and basic. It’s like this at the end of each Story.
  • Robstantinople
    A true crime podcast that centers the victims
    Well-written and acted, and presented by “Slow Horses” heartthrob Jack Lowden, it is the rare true crime podcast that centers the victims. Its fifth and final episode packs a wallop. Quite moving.

    Aldrich Kemp is fantastic!
    I first listened to the Tom Clancy story and loved it. Saw “Who is Aldrich Kemp” and couldn’t wait to listen to the next episode. Hoping he’s not really dead in “Who Killed Aldrich Kemp”. I want to keep going! Fun, exciting and mysterious. Makes the ride to work so much better!!

    Jullian Simpson Does it Again
    In the somewhat continuing story line that Simpson has created, we find some of our favorite characters as well as new ones. Excellent acting and sound, I just wished there where more episodes. I assume in Simpson’s next podcast we will see where Kennedy is in her search and also hope we hear more from Aldrich and his group and especially Clara. Really enjoyed this story very much. If you have not heard all of Simpson’s podcast’s it would be well worth your time.

    Fantastic
    What’s the podcast version of a page turner? Amazing stories with fantastic actors.
  • maggie_lc
    Technically interesting investigative storytelling
    Such an interesting niche podcast in “Exemplar”. Good narrative and technical details on audio forensics. Investigative storytelling also draws you in. So well done. BBC continues to impress.
  • Kailbill
    Enjoyed the first show
    Who Is Aldrich Kemp may be my favorite story yet! Keeping this one in the library to listen to again. I really enjoyed The System. It got me through a long drive from a weekend trip. Steelheads was rather accurate to the way things are possibly headed… (sarcastic yay). Some of the stories I just can’t get into but the great thing about this feed is that there is something for everyone (that is, if you like fiction podcasts). Looking forward to what else Limelight may be coming out with.
  • Mandie Fitzgerald
    Dead Hand, Steel Heads
    Both great shows! I’m hoping for a second series of Dead Hand!
  • Me x 7
    Half told stories
    Odd collection of incomplete stories, not sure what the point of this is. I would skip over this “podcast”.
  • jtadetroit
    Who is Aldrich Kemp?
    The best part of this drama was the excellent writing- crisp and witty. The script, in turn, was supported by the high quality of the narration , pacing, and production values. A must-listen for those who enjoy quality crime/ spy fiction and tv shows.
  • victoriawilderness
    Yes!
    I might be the biggest dork. I have listened to The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and subsequent shows in that series at least 6 times all the way through. Listening to Who Is Aldrich Kemp, I admit to yelling and punching a fist into the air when K.F. arrived on scene. (Trying to avoid spoilers for others like me.) Fun. This was fun. Thank you.
  • Captain Chris Thomas
    Skip Steelheads
    Ends abruptly with no plot resolution. Skip this one.
  • Lkrubcic
    STEELHEADS IS A MASTERPIECE!!
    Wow, HUGE step up for the Limelight series to host the new drama Steelheads. The creators have set the bar high with this one! Excellent writing acting, sound design, etc. This show unravels into an artistic, satirical display of the world we now find ourselves in. Well done!
  • Coeur de Parisienne
    This Unique Podcast Has 3 Separate Stories-
    The System - wow, wow & double wow! I was blown away. Great acting & sound effects. Story was so good, I had to binge the whole thing as fast as I could. The mystery, the drama, all the characters & interactions which keep you guessing - so much more than expected. It’s the perfect audio drama! The House That Disappeared- very well acted, dark atmospheric story. Part documentary within a unique setting. Slow but well worth the build up. Harlan - An Urban Fantasy style story with an edge. Dark, well acted & well played sound come together with the story to make it work very well! ❤️ 💕 love it!!
  • I love anmals
    And…?
    Just finished Harland, it was good and kept my attention, but the ending… what? Unfortunately, a terrible ending can ruin a good story :-/
  • JETessendorf
    Harland was so disappointing
    The ending is so abrupt that nothing makes sense. It felt as though there was supposed to be at least one more episode.
  • Melanie and The Tribe
    The first rule about Fight Club…
    The System is well put together, some fantastic nonlinear storytelling here. It’s a great story, would be more moving if it didn’t smack so strongly of Fight Club. It’s mirrored too closely.
