This podcast is fantastic. Not a long listen, I finished S1 in a work day, but the vibes are immaculate and the story is well thought out and creative. I had a lot of fun listening and am excited to head into season 2. (Also as a grad student, how Dr. Hel talks about working at The Enclosure and how The Enclosure acts toward him and Wichton really feels like just regular academia which I enjoyed even if it wasn’t intentional)

An American/midwestern gothic dream. Really captured the feel of living in a town that has a general “if you saw it no you didn’t” respect for the supernatural. The beginning episodes especially have the vibe of early classic audio dramas, but with a shiny new plot and premise.

This is spooky, fun, mysterious entertainment. I love the premise, and the protagonist is played to perfection by Casper Oliver. Told in audio diary, confessional style, the story unfolds in a way that keeps you coming back for more.

When I started re-listening to podcasts in 2020, I'd never have guessed I would be finding a new favorite as well. I appreciate the quality voice acting, as well as the cleanly edited audio, and it really helps the characters come through more prominently. The writing reels you in as you listen, and then suddenly you've fallen head over heels for this story and the world it takes place in! I lost my whole mind at the finale of season one, and I'm patiently waiting for the second season to come out in April. In my opinion, this podcast deserves more attention than it has gotten so far, and I hope it gets the admiration from the podcast community that it deserves!

If you like monsters and the Midwest gothic aesthetic then boy do I have a podcast for you! Jar of Rebuke is a fascinating podcast concerning the audio logs of Dr Jared Hel, a cryptozoologist with an... interesting relationship with death. He’s canonically non binary and ace, in fact there is so much queer representation on this show, both in the characters and on the cast, and that’s really incredible to hear! Also including: Not-Deer, spooky pseudo government agencies, and really big friendly hellhounds!

Oh man I am so excited to find out more about this story. Jar of Rebuke is incredible, with a great cast of characters and a captivating plot. Easily my favorite aspect of JoR is Jared’s backstory—we know pretty much nothing about it, I’m looking forward to finding out more. I’ve noticed a few things that really get my attention, and I have a lot of respect for Casper Oliver (and the rest of the cast) for putting so much detail into their podcast. Good job! Excited for the next episodes.

I first heard about this podcast on Tumblr, and I’m so glad I decided to give it a listen! Certain aspects of the show remind me of Welcome to Night Vale and Unwell, but it brings its own twist to Midwestern Gothic horror. The creatures and spirits are just the right mix of creepy and intriguing (I’m saying it now: the river monster’s voice is sexy 👌), and the LGBTQ rep is excellent (nonbinary characters? We love to see them). There are plenty of mysteries that have yet to be revealed, and each episode raises as many questions as it answers—I’m invested! Jared must be protected at all costs, and I would die for him. 🖤 My only complaint at this point is that I wish there were more episodes! But I shall be patient and wait for updates. ☺️ If you’re looking for something to fill the TMA-shaped hole in your heart during the current hiatus, I highly recommend this podcast!

This pod is fabulous! The perfect amount of spooky storytelling and bone chills! And we love the Queer/midwestern gothic vibes.

absolutely love the vibes and scares and gender convos

Super amazing podcast with the best host!! Highly highly recommended!!

"Jar of Rebuke" is already starting out strong just a few episodes in. I'm deeply intrigued and eagerly awaiting more, one of the best narrative podcasts I've listened to in quite some time.

I’ve listen to all the episodes, and it sets up a really interesting premise. Cannot wait to see where this series goes!

I am very interested to see where this show goes. The story is very interesting and the narration is soothing. Can’t wait to see where it goes!

I just right into the middle of the podcast and what a wild ride! The narrator of this podcast does an amazing job telling their story. 7/5 would listen again!

Love the supernatural vibes of this podcast!

I won’t open a jar of rebuke on you if you love this podcast because I do too!!!!

This podcast is everything I never knew I needed. It reminds me of early Tanis mixed with the acting chops of Welcome to Nightvale... but still very much its own thing. It’s only been 3 episodes and I AM HOOKED. I want to know more about the creatures, find out what memories are repressed, and see how long it takes before Jared notices they’re being flirted with lol Give it a try if you like spooky things with great acting & audio, especially if you appreciate queer representation that feels natural for once.
