I love the mention that ice is an expensive commodity, while Mr. Weepe was smashing ice cubes for an entire episode. Changes the tone of that conversation just a little bit.

I am learning that every 'chapter'/episode starts with a sentence that includes something horrible. - The moon is gonna fall - He is here to blackmail - etc Sort of gives anticipation of "Oh dear what is gonna happen this time?"

God the moment lark walks in is soo fucking badass. Every episode has some moment where the music voiceover and art is top fucking notch

One hell of cliffhanger. I expacted Fuze to be dead by the end of the episode, but now I will dread every episode he will show up in, thinking that this is the one who will die in. Well played narrators, well played.

Alright there's nothing more cruel than saying "He's a nice guy, too bad he's gonna die". i'm gonna have a panic attack each time this poor soul is mentionned TwT

"Take from that what you will. You can take from that precisely what we give you. If you want" Stories are great, aren't they? Especially when part of the story is in the telling of it.

This is a wonderful example of show don’t tell, except for of course they are telling you everything that you know, but nuance within the world and characters and what you expect to be normal and what actually is normal is just so different, this is a wonderful story

This just gets more and more interesting. Characters who were previously introduced finally interact with each other. There's so much weird stuff going on. Always more weird and interesting details added on. Also you can't just open with the fact that Fuze will meet a terrible fate and then not have him meet said fate by the end of the episode. That's cruel! Also, their power causes anomalies? Woowweeee^^

What I've learned from the first 30 seconds, anyone genuine is extremely dangerous and must perish. Looking forward to the rest!

Now I just want to know more about Lark. What happened to her? An effect from the Fold? Also, man, poor Fuse. He sounds like a nice man.

oh my god, i love the concept of the "tearror", and the word, a combination of tear, error and terror? brilliant

This world feels more and more alive each episode

The story hasn't even progressed that much but I'm totally invested in just the world building alone. Super cool and original universe you guys have built here

This world you guys have built it fascinating.

It's gonna take a while to get used to a Fuse without a kiwi accent. Too bad we won't get the time... Anyone else get "Welcome to Nightvale" vibes off of this? It's AWESOME!!

I really like this series (and to be honest i didnt thought i will like this format xd ) cant wait till next week!

Love the change in ambience when we become submerged in the fold, top sound design

The narration style feels like the performance scenes of Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2.

Wow the illustration is incredible!

I waited to watch this for a while so that I could binge it all at once, and simultaneously I'm thinking "Wow, I'm glad I can binge it." and "Wow, I should've listened to this sooner."

I'll be honest I had no idea what to expect but 4 episodes in I am completely hooked. I only wish they were longer! Happy to hear a decent radio show again, I used to listen to these as a kid but it has been awhile since I've heard one I wanted to listen to non-stop. :)

The writing in this series has seriously opened up my brain in my own writing. Ive been struggling with my narrative writing because my brain literally does what the narrators are saying/doing. Like in episode 2. "Youve already met one of the other protagonists but we're not going to tell you who. Its Lark. Okay, yes we are."

It's so immersive! I love how the music is used to set the tone.

Love the air of mystery in all this

Oh the art is gorgeous

Looking forward to this all week!!

Love this story so far. It’s different which I think is what I like about it.

Lark up in here with that queen shizz.

Enjoying this immensely. Need more

Love that we keep getting different artists for the visuals.

I love this type of story telling! Great Job!

I am loving these stories. I keep listening again and again to see if I can pick up anything new as the characters are starting to link. Keep them coming. Can't wait for Wednesdays now.

I’m loving these so amazing, well done can’t wait to hear more

I like to imagine this is the borderlands universe

Loving these visuals

YESSS IVE BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE SECONDS TO WATCH THIS

I love this. Thanks.

Yes! Midst! I’m soooo hooked!

It's quite enjoyable to listen to. A bit hard to navigate through all the names without a proper visual and because all voices are more or less similar, but I guess it will just take time. Good listen!

This is such a neat little project.

Thanks for the awesome content and great video!!!!

This might be my new “listen on the elliptical” thing

Love love love this

The story and world us so interesting! I’m curious to see how all the characters are going to come together for the plot

"Too bad he's not going to be around for much longer" 😀- what a cliffhanger! As a regular DnD player, I am currently looking for a critical role community to chat with- any recommendations? Any discord channel or anything?

Glorious

I love how this style of narration genuinely feels like three loving parents telling me a bed time story.

This is such an interesting story. I'm glad the episodes are so short because I definitely find myself going back to listen to them with the new context each episode provides. The source of their power is so unstable it can turn your mouth upsidedown and create boiling craters nearby??? Holy shit this world keeps getting more unhinged

I love this

Just love it

I love this a lot :)

I FUCKIN LOVE THIS HOW HAVE I NOT FOUND THIS YET

Suspense!

Its all sooo coooool

I'm addicted

awesome show love this stuff

Ahh I hate it when reality gets runny around the edges

goddamn these are so fun to listen to

Well, thats a way to start the episode! 😮😮😮😮

Now the team's coming together...

“Too bad he has to die.” Beautiful writing in this

I have been waiting , it seems like forever :)

I need my Midst fix!!!

In the original version of this episode, they mentioned Lark's dreadlocks twice as something setting her apart from the "sophistication" of the other patrons, which always put me off when re-listening. Glad they changed it

❤‍🔥

10/10

I love love love this series! The character work, the setting, the unique narration, outstanding! One point of feedback I want to add regarding narration (could just be personal preference) but I find it a bit distracting/disorienting when a specific character's speech is narrated by a different narrator. This is not for any other bit of the story, mind you. I really enjoy the almost competing - but quite complementary - narration style. But for some reason characters are an exception to this. When a character is given a voice in an audio-story I expect it to persist and when it doesn't I often times have to do a double-take or have to rely on the closed captions for the "[As Character]" disambiguation which tends to take away from the story. But other than that, truly wonderful work and hope you continue making wonderful bits of media, you three are really talented have a great dynamic going! I understand that at times this is unavoidable, at others it is a narrative choice, which is why this is more of a nitpicky feedback and goes to show how wonderful your story telling is :)

Yeah!

Into my imagination Lark is a mashup between Clint Eastwood and Charlize Theron (madmax role).😅

I'm a bit puzzled by all the mentions of Lark's dreadlocks in the subtitles missing from the audio proper. Was that cropped in editing or something?

Fuck yes

If people like this sort of podcast I would highly recommend Find Us Alive, its an SCP based podcast which is amazing!

This Midst business is very good.

Holy shit. Having three (probably) unreliable narrators argue with each other brings my head to a boil. I want to use every bit of knowledge about Narration Theory on this format.

Such a weird choice.

These episodes kinda make me feel like the podcast is a social experiment to see how long they can keep viewers without anything like a coherent plot. Sooner or later they have to jump back to finish or continue one of these threads right?

I'm here for the Nightvale comments, or the Lovecraft vibes not sure. Maybe the narration can tell me what I'm hear for.

7:15 fucking cool

Who died?

What's "The Fold"?

Fuze's reflection changes... as the fold passes through. Am I just not looking at it right? Probably just me needing to get a life and not understanding the artist's interpretation of light and reflection changing for when The Fold rolls through.

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

First

but did he die??

What is this? Genuinely curious

I know i will get my comment disliked to oblivion but when the trailer said "Midst feels like VR to your brain" I was expecting way more than just...a podcast.

Too much character, in too little time in EVERY episode up until current. Too many voices telling one characters story in EVERY episode making it IMPOSSIBLE to connect to ANY character. At all!! MIDST is a huge flop. MIDST the point ENTIRELY!!

Meh, it just feels as if the voice actors' scripts are full of ellipses. Or that they are constantly trying to "seduce" me into the story. For me it has made the whole thing impossible to follow. Tried for 4 episodes, but no. Sorry, not for me.

The cadance in which narrator 1 talks is super annoying. What's with the abrupt change in speed, the unnecessary and pointless pauses? It makes the whole thing unwatchable, I can't stand it.

I wish this was on a different channel so I could not have it clog up my feed. I subscribed for critical role, not this.

I love this
