About this listen

Harper McKenzie wakes to the worse possible day: her 18-year-old son has vanished from her Manhattan apartment without trace.

Worse, no-one knows what she’s talking about.

No-one thinks she had a son.

Ever.

Has she lost her grip on reality?

Or has the world shifted in a terrifying and unpredictable way?

The Effect is a taut psychological thriller that challenges everything we thought was real, as Harper’s quest to find her son pushes her to the very edge of reason.

I don't normally go for fictional type podcasts but I tried this on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised. Great story, great cast and great sound effects. I felt like I was watching a movie at some points. I would recommend this.

Very enjoyable

brilliant and an interesting idea. It definitely give you something to think about.

I liked the first few episodes, but the dénouement was ridiculous and the story just stops midway. Presumably the writers let their imaginations run away with them and couldn’t bring the plot back to anything vaguely believable!

Poor ending - ran out of steam!

At first the main character was so irritating that she was making me want to quit listening to this drama. But with every episode the story got more and more interesting. You'll have here some mystery, unexplained phenomena, science vs. religion arguments, science-fitcion etc.

Interesting
