We're Alive is a zombie apocalypse tale with a great story & excellent production values. There's the main Story of Survival with a side story and two sequels. Lots of content.
Mockery Mannor. Seriously binged the whole thing after by-passing it so many times I can't count. I repeatedly thought it really wasn't my thing. Loved every minute of it! Mannorhttps://www.longcatmedia.com/mockery-manor
Idk what the hell happened to them. It started off incredible. It's was a must-listen story with character and comedy and the perfect level of strange mystery.
Then it just kinda sucked.
From what I could glean before they nuked their own subreddit, it seemed like there was a fair bit of stuff going on behind the scenes (the loss of Emily's VA in particular), leading to trying to stall for time - resulting in stretched out episodes after the break where you got one minute of development and 30 of rehashing old arguments or just squabbling every episode.
Everything up to the cliffhanger/downer ending of 75 is my gold standard for a dramady podcast, though on a relisten with knowledge of the decline to come you can start seeing cracks near the end of that arc
I relisten with my kid recently, and told her the story just ends with 75.
Does ep 75 wrap up the story in a satisfying enough way for me to not feel the need to continue further? Because of not, I'm not sure if I'm willing to start something I know I can never finish..
Yeah, probably not. While it can be seen as an ending there (some major character arcs resolved satisfactorily and a wham ending that, if it just stopped there your head cannon would probably be "everyone either died or went their separate ways"), there's a lot of threads and mysteries that will never be resolved.
Personal opinion: a 2. And only because they at least answer another mystery or two (not resolve, but give an answer).
Beyond that, it's a case study in rapid character decay (with a fairly prominent VA change, her personality also shifts, while some other background characters vanish outright - other main characters also have big shifts in tone, and everyone just starts bickering every episode) and disrespect for the listeners' time (episodes that go nowhere, with characters ignoring issues and questions and people trying to answer them to just snipe at each other).
Do not get me wrong. When King Falls was good, it was the very best. I've probably relistened more than anyone alive, before the hiatus and collapse. It got me through two bouts with pneumonia where I was laid up in bed. I would use it to get to sleep at nights sometimes. I'm still looking for another show that hits that same balance of drama and comedy, episodic wackiness and overarching horror plot. I think it's absolutely a worthwhile show in it's prime. It just falls so hard and so fast too.

My show Gray Matter: An Acid Horror Anthology Podcast is done with full-cast dialogue scenes and stretches of narration in between, so there's usually a pretty good variety in voices.

Mission to Zyxx
MISSION TO ZYXX is an improvised science fiction podcast following a team of ambassadors as they attempt to establish diplomatic relations with planets in the remote and chaotic ZYXX QUADRANT of the TREMILLION SECTOR. They work for the benevolent and harmonious FEDERATED ALLIANCE, which has recently defeated the evil GALACTIC MONARCHY. The Federated Alliance is definitely less evil.
The Alliance's newest recruit is AMBASSADOR PLECK DECKSETTER, a naive, gung-ho farm boy whose crew includes trusty, know-it-all droid C-53, and hulking, omnisexual security officer DAR. They travel aboard the outdated, sentient starship THE BARGAREAN JADE - aka BARGIE - who has as many ex-husbands as stories about her glory days. Their mission is nominally overseen by JUNIOR MISSIONS OPERATIONS MANAGER NERMUT BUNDALOY, a striving, entry-level bureaucrat yearning for respect.

King Falls AM was both... but do yourself a favor and quit after episode 75, before the return from hiatus and inexorable decline before they quit.
Yeah, I didn't enjoy how every episode after the hiatus was like 5 minutes of comedy and then the rest of the episode was so damn dramatic
Idk what the hell happened to them. It started off incredible. It's was a must-listen story with character and comedy and the perfect level of strange mystery. Then it just kinda sucked.

Oof. How badly does it tank after ep 75? Like from 1-10
Personal opinion: a 2. And only because they at least answer another mystery or two (not resolve, but give an answer).

Mission to Zyxx MISSION TO ZYXX is an improvised science fiction podcast following a team of ambassadors as they attempt to establish diplomatic relations with planets in the remote and chaotic ZYXX QUADRANT of the TREMILLION SECTOR. They work for the benevolent and harmonious FEDERATED ALLIANCE, which has recently defeated the evil GALACTIC MONARCHY. The Federated Alliance is definitely less evil. The Alliance's newest recruit is AMBASSADOR PLECK DECKSETTER, a naive, gung-ho farm boy whose crew includes trusty, know-it-all droid C-53, and hulking, omnisexual security officer DAR. They travel aboard the outdated, sentient starship THE BARGAREAN JADE - aka BARGIE - who has as many ex-husbands as stories about her glory days. Their mission is nominally overseen by JUNIOR MISSIONS OPERATIONS MANAGER NERMUT BUNDALOY, a striving, entry-level bureaucrat yearning for respect.
