UPDATE : 1/6/25 What in blue blazes has happened to this podcast? After listening to S2 E7, and falling asleep from such a boring and rambling story, I’ve started to thing I made a terrible mistake giving this podcast originally 5 stars, it’s starting to die, and where your going with the story lines, is off the cliffs edge! This is one of the best to come down the pike in awhile. Can’t wait for season 2, The podcast coming out recently are without substance, this one is flying with a excellent cast, excellent story, and just creates his experience into heart pounding excitement. Well done, best of luck, and please come back soon! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, come back soon with season two!

Loved this series, but season 2 totolly left you hanging, had no ending whatsoever… will there be a season 3?

This is a high quality fiction podcast. The story had good twists and the characters are well written. Excellent listen!

Really great acting… it’s so obvious when people are passionate about doing excellent work. I’m in Season 1, and I’m fully engaged!

This podcast is great!!!!! More like this please!

Amazing podcast truly entertaining and exciting A+

Apple Podcasts bumped this Podcast into my recommendation list. Glad it appeared. Good writing, good acting, good premise. Here’s to hoping subsequent seasons live up to the quality of the first.

I’m very much enjoying this podcast. I’ve binged it, I need more….❤️❤️

Just listened to Season One of Close Your Eyes in one sitting. Every episode was well acted, fast paced and had a twist I didn’t see coming. Bravo Cryptic Radio!

I don’t even know how I found this podcast, but I am so grateful I did! It has everything I love about podcasts, a great storyline, fantastic actors, good sound, and mystery! I love anything cults and this podcast delivers it in full. I try to reserve listening to podcasts for my long commute to work each day. However, this one broke all my rules and I put on my EarPods and listened during work because I just could not stop. Thank you and please give us more more more!!

Super binge-worthy!

Captured my attention quickly and the artists do a great job in character!

Season 2!!! This show slaps. Such a great cliff hanger in the finale episode. Genuinely hoping this show will return for season 2. Great job on highly entertaining writing, excellent production and solid presentation.

Don’t judge a podcast by its picture lol

Stumbled on this podcast while scrolling and find it really engaging.

I encountered this podcast and random (my phone was literally in my pocket on another podcast and when I took it out it was on this show). Such a serendipitous thing because this show is really excellent, not the kind of thing typically in my feed which skews towards nonfiction. Keep up the good work!

Please keep them coming!!!!!

Excellent production value from an indie team putting together a full cast audio drama that leaves you wanting more. Very excited by the season two premiere. The writing is strong, particularly for the “there’s something really off about this new age group” subgenre of thriller, keeping the pace up without losing the weaving threads of plots and players. The characters are similarly well-written, making choices that up the ante but still keep the story grounded in reality, which really makes the secret cult-y elements that much more disturbing.

Great work, Loving it. Voice acting is on point! Thanks for all your hard work you guys!

The suspense! It’s attention catching and keeps u on ur toes. Recommending to a friend for sure!

Very engaging,& interesting. It’s like a movie comes to live.

Binging the show right now! Engaging and interesting !

Enjoyed season 1 so far

well produced and all that. maybe too much so. but the story is on the level of Hardy Boys sophistication and it really falls apart towards the end of this first season. disappointing because it showed promise and was actually pretty plausible towards the beginning. but it slowly slipped into ridiculousness until it was just something I couldn't take seriously. barely finished listening.

I can’t wait for season 2! Hopefully coming soon?! I’d love to hear an update on when the next season is coming out as they left us on a real cliff hanger!

Hooked since the 1st episode

Great story from the beginning. Enjoy the actors voices they weren’t annoying. I hope there’s season 2 soon and it doesn’t take long to come out.

Only a few episodes in and find it captivating.

Yeah….im on the edge of my seat 🫠

"Thoroughly impressive! Great performances by the cast and with sharp writing that keeps the mystery and suspense driving ahead. I binged the entire show in a few days and could absolutely imagine it as a TV series too. Can’t wait for season 2 and more!"

I love fiction pods but often I’m disappointed, usually by the acting or writing. This whole show is incredible and I tore through it in a day. Wish there was more :) thank you to the team that made this!

Really hope season 2 is coming soon!!!

Thank you to all who contributed to this amazing production. Very entertaining. Very well written and acted. Bring on season 2.

This is so well written and acted, I binged it. Don’t pass it up. Absolutely fantastic. Will there be a season 2?

Binge the entire season 1. Highly recommend listening can’t wait for season 2 🥰

Compelling story line and fantastic voice acting! Love a good fiction podcast!

Slow build up for not really anything special of a playoff, great concept though. Season 1 ends on a cliff hangers that’s not really interesting enough for me to continue.

Love this story. It drew me in from the first episode and I’m dying for season 2. So many questions left and I love the perspectives of the two main characters and how they tie in together. The story keeps you so engaged and wanting to know more.

I like this premise. I just hope we evolve past the constant inquisition/conversation thing. I get it as a plot mover but gets old.

Interesting premise and well written loving it so far !

Well written and well acted, a fantastic show!

I thought I’ve heard every show I would be interested in. Then this little gem showed up. What a riveting show. I can’t wait to hear season two.

Great show all around! Such a good story and the cast is excellent. Can’t wait for S2

Really enjoying this show…podcast 😁 Cant wait for Season2 to start.

It’s so well written and the acting is amazing.

One of the best dramatic fiction podcasts I’ve heard in a long time. I hope they keep this one going for a long time! The voice acting and sound production is fantastic. Not to mention the story! I binged all 9 episodes of season 1 in 2 days, so I hope season 2 is right around the corner.

Can’t wait for season two. The pace, timing, characters and storyline are compelling! This is an excellent story.

The energy of classic radio drama is shining down on the creators of this story. Story telling at its best, A team all around. Highly recommend!

Just listen!!!! Soo goooood! Great find, so happy I gave it a try. You should do the sameeeeee! Thank youuu!!

Glad I stumbled upon this… quality audio dramas are hard to find lately, but this is a gem! Really enjoying this, keep it up!
