Maxine Miles: Volume I

249

Fiction #230, Drama #89

A young adult whodunit with a choose-your-own-adventure twist from audio drama creator Lauren Shippen.It’s the fall of 1997 in Hastings, New Hampshire and autumn is the time of year this small town shines. Apple cider, pumpkin patches, farmer’s markets...its idyllic New England. Picturesque, plaid-filled, and, for fifteen-year-old, Maxine Miles, plodding. Suddenly, Max’s school year starts to look a bit more interesting when a fellow student vanishes. With the help of her misanthropic classmate, Ross, Max starts to look into the disappearance. Her investigation draws her deep into the dark woods around Hastings and even deeper into the secrets and lies that course through the veins of this sleepy town. This new YA mystery from creator of The Bright Sessions and writer of Bridgewater, Lauren Shippen, is an audio drama with heart and wit that involves the audience in a way no fiction podcast ever has. Produced by Atypical Artists and iHeartRadio. Follow @atypicalartists on Twitter and Instagram and visit maxinemiles.com for more information.

Choose your own ending!

Engaging and kept you thinking the whole way through. The actors did a great job carving out their characters. LOVED that the last episode was a choose your own ending. Wish I had caught it in real time. Looking forward to another season. I listened from my work at home job and while doing house work. Perfect amount of detail and mystery.

Amazing autistic person

Do not be so harsh

But I will be sad if Ross dies. he’s such a good character and nobody is going to end anybody. :)

If you like political preaching hidden in mediocre storytelling….

If you enjoy being preached to about the environment and virtue signaling hidden in mediocre storytelling, with bad acting, this may be for you. As usual, rather than focusing on an interesting story, the lazy author uses the time to push gay agenda and environmental preaching. This had promise, but these lazy, confused authors just can’t help but do their woke nonsense.

Ending A

Warning ⛔️: No Spoilers 🤍 I hate reading reviews and it spoils the whole thing so no spoilers here! Although it is not as chosen as the others, I feel that it is the correct answer, and I know as a viewer that you won’t let Ross die no matter what; because it keeps listeners engaged by not knowing what’s going to happen. I love your audio drama and y’all did a AMAZING 🤩 job with it. The actors are great, mild language, perfect Nancy Drew feel. Great female lead 🤍🦋, perfect supporting roles, please hurry with the next season: I understand that your busy but please hurry. Thanks for transporting me to Maxine Miles’ world 🌎 I appreciate it and I will have a hard time finding another podcast like this to top it. Everything will seem boring without Maxine Miles. Thanks so much! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 Love and podcasts! (Get it? Love and oboes! Listen to 6 Minutes, The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Petel, and Cupid and the Reaper! Although these shows “slay” they don’t “slay” like Maxine Miles.

Please, for the love of all that is good, do not let Ross die. 🙏
MakaylaHope0903

Definitely C

If Ross dies I literally will hate this podcast. Please don’t make him die
Maxine Miles fan

So hard to choose😍😩🤩

The plot twists, the adventure and that Ross and/or Riley might die!! Please don’t let them die I love the plot twist in chapter A . I feel like my favorite is chapter C but if they put the plot twist of chapter A in the second season my favorite is chapter C but if you don’t I think I like A more then. I like all of them are amazing. My favorites are A and C. And for some reason there is no episode 1 9

Ending C: The Poisoned Mine

Ok this show ROCKS! It has such a Nancy Drew feel to it but is so up to date. I love that she was solving these little side mysteries as the main mystery was going on and how it all came together in the end. Ending C was my favorite by far but PLEASE don’t let Ross be dead! I have to see their relationship continue! They have to admit their feelings for each other!
cute_cat6043

Great podcast!

They really like blowing up Ross though. I listened to ending c and b. He blows up in both. 😳 Don’t know about a though.
Avacatgirl123

Where is season 2🥺

I need to know what happened to Ross. And what the actual heck it’s either Ross might be dead,Riley might be dead, or both what the heck. P.S love the show
JustJenn123

Episode 9???

Where is episode 9?! Why is it missing? I’ve come so faaaaaarrrrr 😩
Ar1ah.

Love it!

Great podcast! Amazingly done and the voice actors are great! Go for ending C! It’s the best one!! Can’t wait for season two!

Clean but characters are flat (4.5 stars)

I actually enjoyed this… it’s not everyday that a clean show is produced with quality sound engineering and a decent script… that being said the characters to me are a little flat… not enough shade in the shady characters. Parental guide: occasional cussing, clean overview of relationships (hetero, lgbt, friendships, different family structures). Death within immediate family is also discussed. Themes make the show PG in my opinion. Ending C!!!

On the edge of my seat

I am looking forward to season 2 and beyond!!!

I have listened through more audio dramas I can count. This one is in my top 3! Great actors, beautifully written scripts, and a great plot! I highly recommend this show.
ram1792

Entertaining. Love the different character voices. Reminds me of my great-grandparents talking about serial radio shows.

UncleTobi

Ending C you gotta do ending C!
Ajbuda

great but Im confused.

This was awesome. I tried to vote, but couldn’t figure it out. And then at the end it says that you can listen to the others, but can’t figure out how. Hopefully they come out next week or whatever.
KelsiLS96

A-

This was a really fun listen. The episodes were shorter than I would have preferred. To be honest I think a lot of the clues given went over my head, because initially I didn’t think much was happening from episode to episode. The production quality is top tier and it was very enjoyable to listen to. Definitely nice for listening to while driving around. I love the concept of 3 different endings. I’d be very interested to listen to more from this team!

Amazing

Nope

Maxs voice.
Texas Lover❤️

My choice. And a little romance please

I love this podcast. I don’t know how to submit my choice, so I’ll say it here. And for any other fan who is unsure, I am confident in my gut and mystery solving capabilities. I choose, #1. And please, just for fun, I love this little romance between Max and Ross. Whatever the official episode becomes, please include the conclusion to the Max and Ross love thing. She needs to know that he loves her!!! Thanks for making such an amazing podcast! Please make more mysteries!
Initium73

Wonderfully Entertaining

The podcast is a fun and entertaining example of realistic fiction. The story contains a enjoyable characters, a mysterious plot, a cozy setting and highlights relatable issues for the contemporary listener. Honestly, the story is something I look forward to. It brings me back to my childhood memories of reading the mystery genre as a kid. I HIGHLY recommend this pod!
listener #73

Great story!!!

I really liked the story, it’s very interesting and cool. The voice casting, however is poor. Maxine’s voice actress sounds NOTHING like a 14-year-old, and a lot of the child characters don’t sound like early high schoolers. However, the voice ACTING is good.
dazknights

Love it!

Just listened to the newest episode, episode 8! I am on the edge of my seat here guys where is this going? There have been so many twists!! I would say definitely at least give this podcast a try because the first few episodes are just okay but it has really picked up!
tomHollandLOVER♾💜🖤

Amazing 🤩

I just love this podcast every week I check if another episode is out. And so… every Wednesday I listen to this adventurous and funny crime podcast. It’s a great podcast for ages 12 and up. Can’t wait to find out what happens next!
PandaBandit123

This podcast is great

I love this podcast, the mystery is great, but Maxine sounds a little too old. Maybe just tweak the voice or something? But it’s great for pre teens. And there’s not really any good cliffhangers. But I really do like this podcast and a waiting for new episodes :)
S-Cooke

Snooze

Couldn’t wait for something to happen. Spoiler: a kid solving the case of “who spray painted graffiti” is not worth my time, idk about yours
NPWENDE

More episodes ?

I loved what I have listened to so far , but when are new episodes coming out ? I can’t find the dates of when 1-3 were released. I would like to keep listening.
puppyzone2009

I like it

lol I heard on unspookable 2 and it’s good I like mystery🔎🕵️‍♀️🕵️
liesanderson

Love it!

Came here via Unspookable referral, so happy I started. Well done!
MrsWoodyard07

Meh

I listened to the first episode and tried the second, but the acting is so forced, it doesn’t sound natural at all. The voice actors sound older than the characters should. It was very hard to listen to.
nicole_marie

Fun

Listening with 13 daughter and has a good story line. Sound quality for main character Max needs some tweaking cause it makes her sound older than all the other characters.
driven2review

Super fun

Me and my son love it so far
Katie7645

We love a shippen production!

So excited
Qzwxecrvtbynum2314

Bad everything

Bad writing, bad acting, cardboard characters…and I’m not even halfway through episode one. Pre-teens might enjoy it, though.
CTXYZ2015

Miscast

These characters are supposed to be 15? They sound about 40, and Maxine sounds older than her guardian.
