Every single episode is such a delight! From the immensely talented voice actors to the witty writing, this show is one I’ll never get enough of.

And I absolutely love it. What a lovingly eccentric cast of characters in a world so lovingly crafted! It’s wonderful to resisten to some of my favorite episodes, like a warm cup of cocoa (or hot water for the twins). Love the character development over the course of the seasons; the ending is just, gosh, so good. Thanks for making this!

I’m a fiction buff, and a lover of comedy, and really, really struggle to find interesting shows. This was brilliantly done. The only issue is that it was done too soon. If you follow the show and aren’t broken by the season finale of season three, I honestly believe there may be something missing inside you. Absolutely incredible work by the writers and Ms. Baxendale. Truly my favorite all time podcast.

it’s hilarious and I can listen to this show over and over again without it getting old. I love the sibling dynamic between Rudyard and Antigone. Eric Chapman is the most naive person to Rudyard’s hatred and Antigone’s love. Its so sad that Antigone finally stopped pining over Eric and Eric started to love Antigone. I really want just another season or at least another episode just to see what happens.

I came late to this but it is just so exquisitely done. I didn’t know podcasts could do this. It’s like the best old time radio dramas but with real depth of character and story. The bar has been raised.

I listen to a lot of audio dramas and my favorites are science fiction. This one I’d file under the “ too weird” drama category. I couldn’t get past the first episode.

I’ve listened to 100+ podcasts at this point and this one in is my top 5. Very quirky, endearing set of characters with unique personalities. I am currently listening to the last episode and I will genuinely miss it once it ends. This show does such a good job of balancing comedy and romance with serious subject matter such as death. This is the only podcast that actually made me tear up, because some of the episodes are just so darn sweet. I know that good shows like this can’t last forever, but it will be hard to find another one that has impacted me as much as this one has. 10/10.

Very fun to listen. Which to have known what could have happened in the feature with Eric and Antagonie, with her brother in it as well. Could have been hilarious. Definitely two thumbs up and totally recommend it. Love each one of the characters and the storyline. Just a masterpiece.

just a really wonderful show :)

I thoroughly enjoyed every single episode of this show! good work guys. congratulations on five years and more. Wish you all the very best.

There's a reason this show is included in many "Best of" lists. Because it is! Writing, acting, storylines, ridiculousness... everything is fabulous!

Really enjoyed this. One of the funniest I’ve ever heard. Hoping there will be more someday.

Please make more!!!

I just listened to the Season 4 Finale. I had to stop CRYING before I could write my review 😂😂😂‼️ I loved these characters like I knew them. Each one of the Characters had their own quirky & fun personality…even RUDYARD. When I got towards the end of S4, I started listening once a week to really drag it out because I DID NOT WANT IT TO END. (I am happy that I can purchase the 3 Holiday Episodes. ) I laughed out loud 99% of the time and cried for Georgie in one episode. THERE’S SOME GREAT WRITING if you can make me cry for a Podcast Character! The Stories for each season are so over the top hilarious and I was invested in all of them. I will miss these people. Now I need to go and find these actors and David K Barnes to see what else he has written. The man is a genius. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AT WOODEN OVERCOATS ♥️

I can't tell you how many times I've searched for a story pod like this that listens as a movie. It has quick, hilarious, adorable and masterfully written easy dark themes.

They had to turn the mayor and the preacher gay to appease the woke crowd. The alphabet people will be happy.

Wooden Overcoats will be forever one of my favorite shows. The scoring is absolutely beautiful. The acting makes me feel like I really know the characters, and want to know them that much more. The story is hilarious but touching as well. I am tempted to not finish the show because I would hate for it all to come to an end, but I couldn’t let myself die without knowing how it does.

Best show come back I can’t imagine life without you all!!!

As an unpublished writer myself, I relate to Madeline and hopes to get my book out one day, but until then I will be listening to this amazing podcast

Incomparable

Since finishing this show I have tried to find another to feel the void. Nothing has worked so far. Acting, writing, humour, tone...this show has ruined other shows for me now.

Perhaps the best podcast of this type in existence.

I absolutely LOVE this podcast. I somehow found it late in 2022 and just finished it. 💔The humor is on point, the music is great, the characters are so well devoped and the actors do an amazing job. I'm so sad it's finished, but can't wait to tell my friends and listen to it again. Thanks you guys. ♥️♥️

I must say, I am deeply invested in this story (and I’m only just now on season two!) if you like comedy podcasts, dark humor, and British people, this is the podcast for you. Treat yourself to the first episode! Enjoy yourself!

I was looking for some good fictional podcast and Wooden Coats was recommended on a website. I am so glad I started listening because it is charming and funny. The actors and the writers a very talented. Love it!

Funn is much better than the Captain of Edict Zero FIS at the Nononononono.

One of my favorite comedy podcasts of all time, I come back to it again and again. Absolutely hilarious & incredible acting all around!

This was one of the BEST podcasts I’ve ever listened to!!!!! And I’ve listened to a few, believe me…. I wanted it to last forever!!!!!! Each and every character was absolutely wonderful!!! So incredibly “laugh out loud” hilarious and moving, all at the same time!!! Oh and….“Enjoy yourself”!! I sure did!!!!!

I’m addicted to this podcast. I’ve probably listened to the episodes more than is healthy. Love the writing, the storylines, the quirky characters, the setting, and the acting! Thank you to Wooden Overcoats.

I had been looking forward to this show coming back for the longest time, I had loved the earlier seasons but, while there were some good episodes, the one with the flashback to the Funn’s childhood was just hateful. To act as though it’s funny for two children to be that mistreated by badly behaving adults who blamed the children for the adults own issues was really not okay. What makes it worse is that it isn’t hard to view either of those characters as being on the autism spectrum and, as someone who is and was mistreated by adults for being ‘different’, well, I sure didn’t find it funny to say the least. If that episode didn’t exist I still haven’t loved every one of the new episodes but there were some very very good ones. But, as that episode does exist and they’ve made it clear what I might end up hearing again, I won’t be listening to any more. And frankly, I’m just sad about it. I really loved this show.

Truly one of the best stories you could listen to. It may be one of the funniest and yet most touching stories you could listen to. This may be my favorite audio play ever. And the acting is kind of amazing. And by kind of, I mean truly amazing. Please listen to this show it’s beautiful.

Love this show

Wooden Overcoats might be audio-only, but I could “see” every moment. The voices are so artfully done, they beg the brain to conjure up images of these characters. And the sound design is masterful. It brings you in to the moment, as if you’re watching things unfold in front of you, from the point of view of a funeral house mouse! 😄 Congratulations to the writers, the production team, and all of the voice actors for creating such an amazing show. It’s been an inspiring experience to realize radio programs are alive. Thank you.

I started listening a few years ago and then got into other podcasts after finishing the first 2 seasons. But I recently found Wooden Overcoats on my saved podcasts and decided to start from the beginning again. I was instantly transported back to that quirky little village and invested in the odd characters. Through the beautifully written hilariously dry British humor, the scripts come alive. When I got to the end, I was really sad, but it’s nice to know I listen again.

Simply the best. So entertaining, amazing character development, just so enjoyable!

🎵Why aren't you listening to Piffling FM radiooo?🎵 I haven’t enjoyed a fictional world like this in a long time. Each episode has made my year so much brighter, connected me with friends, and inspired me to create in a playful way (this incredibly written and produced show was made independently on excellent writing, crowdfunding, and magic—a huge feat and accomplishment. As an audio drama, it evades rigid storytelling conventions while remaining hilarious, delightfully morbid, and heartfelt throughout). Definitely give it a listen if you like hanging out in mortuaries and/or shenanigans with lovably eccentric characters. Enjoy yourselves!

LISTEN TO MARS CORP SO SIMULER

This is the best podcast, ever! Stop reading the amazing reviews and START LISTENING… and “Enjoy yourselves!”

A few weeks ago, a relative suggested listening to Wooden Overcoats, and I’m so glad I did. I’m only sorry I didn’t know about it sooner. Everything about it is absolutely brilliant, and it’s been a welcome escape from our current reality. I will continue to recommend it to everyone I know (and even to people I don’t; it’s that good). To everyone who works on the show: thank you for creating such a gem! **Had to come back and edit my review from a couple of years ago just to once again say thank you, thank you, thank you for this podcast. I’ve listened to the entire series multiple times already, and both laughed and cried my way through the finale. What a beautiful end to the story of Piffling. Other people are all there is. 💚

This is, no doubt, my all time favorite podcast! The writing is AMAZING, and the cast is just perfect, never missing a beat! From rolling on the floor laughing to wiping tears from my eyes, this has been an amazing ride. How you go to all those places in a podcast about funeral directors just has to be experienced, can’t be explained. I only have one question… did they REALLY sit on the Simon Templar ‘saint’ joke for 5 years?!? Talk about a delayed payoff, but worth every second. Try it, really! Maybe we can, in the words of Al Pacino, ‘pull them back in!’ Farewell, Funns, and thank you so much for everything!

Really, it is. Also my favorite podcast of all time. It is so funny and so heartfelt, and if you’ve never listened before I highly recommend going back to the beginning and treating yourself to these four hilarious seasons (plus some bonus content!). If you have listened before, listen again! I know I will, probably many times.

Funny, smart, occasionally silly and full of wonderful characters - this podcast is a joy to listen too and I’m sad that it’s come to an end. I hope this creative team stays together and does something new. We need more like this!

Excuse the terrible pun, but do not let that deter you from an amazing podcast! I came late in to the game but have thoroughly enjoyed the plot and character development. Generally very lighthearted stuff in a not so lighthearted world. I would second the review that said this was in the vein of Faulty Towers. Great job to the cast, writers, musicians, producers etc etc who have created a masterpiece.

I have been listening since the beginning of this podcast (or close) and it’s one of my favorites. The voice actors, the writing, and the humor are outstanding. I wish you could make 1000 seasons. Great work everyone!

My wife just got me into listening but I have to say I absolutely love this podcast. It’s funny, unique, and fun to listen to. Hands down one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to.

Wooden Overcoats is The Office of podcasts. I hope that I’ll ever be able to find another that comes close to the humor and quality. I love a smart, well written comedy, which is difficult to find. This podcast has also been a wonderful way to connect with my daughter whose preparing to finish high school and move out for college. We discovered it together and it’s been a great way to connect. It’s one of the few things she’s excited to talk to me about.

I first got into podcasts 6 years ago, and when I stumbled onto Wooden Overcoats I hadn’t heard anything like it. I’ve looked for others like it, and while I’ve found entertainment, it hasn’t been the same. It’s hard to find a story (especially a comedy) where each and every character feels like a real person. Don’t even get me started on how much I love Antigone. This show is a gift, and it needs to be treated as such

I’m in love with all the characters- you really latch onto them as the episodes continue on. it’s comfort food.

Great for road trip binge listening!

This has been one of my top favorite podcasts since I first heard about it back in 2015. I’m so sad it’s coming to and end, but I’m just thankful for the whole team that put this story together. I’ve loved every minute of it. Thank you, Wooden Overcoats. It’s been lovely 💜
