Saw this podcast mentioned on a Reddit page about great podcasts, and burned through the episodes, laughing and engaged all the way through. The hosts were hilarious, the story’s unfolding was beyond entertaining, the delivery was spot on, and the outcome was perfection. I haven’t enjoyed a podcast like this in ages. Finishing this review and heading over to see if I can find a copy of Swarmer! Love love love - wish all podcasts were like this one! God bless Todd Noy!

This is the podcast I recommend whenever someone wants a hidden gem.

I am not a Rocky fan, nor am I particularly interested in old movies. I only started listening on a recommendation, but thank god I did. Both stories were utterly fantastic!!!! So engaging and captivating, the editing especially draws you in and keeps you coming back. I have told everyone I know about this podcast. Honestly, it feels like a celebration of humanity. The hosts never make fun of the people involved in these crazy stories beyond some gentle ribbing, they are just so excited to learn more and get to the person behind it all. In the case of the first season, they meet a truly wonderful individual! I’m so happy this podcast exists in the world. I really hope they make more seasons, I’ve got to hear more!!! Much love guys <3

Listened to both seasons in like 24 hours! I love these boys! And their mysteries! And their google!

Alexei and Cameron bring the perfect sweet optimism, loving friendship, and journalistic integrity to an investigation so important, so world-quaking, I can't believe it didn't earn a pulitzer. I wish there were more episodes in each season. And more seasons! Are there no more mysteries in the world, A & C???

Lots of mystery and lots of fun!

I have thoroughly enjoyed both Finding Drago and Folding Desperado and they are hard recommends from me and I encourage everyone to give it a listen

I cannot express the pure joy I felt reaching the end of “Finding Drago” this was such an amazing journey that will never leave Alexi or Cameron and I’m so glad they brought all the listeners along for the ride

Just binged Finding Drago (thanks Spooko!). Thank God I’ve been off work for the last couple days since I stayed up way late each night to listen to “just one more episode!” Just started Finding Desperado and am already hooked again.

The subjects are fascinating, but what really makes this show amazing are the hosts. Hilarious and fascinating. Highly recommend!

This one had me full-on hook, line and sinker! What a ride, more please!!

The story telling is fun and draws you in brining an in-depth investigation with the cultural significance of finding out Mugatu invented the piano key necktie.

The pandemic had taken its toll. Not just on the nation, but also my soul. Even with the collective sigh of relief felt by the world upon the election of a new leader, I needed to collect myself and start anew. I found my way to the coast. My lungs drank in the cold, salty air with greed. I was beginning to heal. I stood motionless in the firm, packed sand for hours, jealous of the thieving tides, welcoming the chance to ebb and flow with the water. Suddenly I felt a presence to my left - a man. A man who had lived enough life for three men. He wasn't kind on the eyes, you may have called him a vagrant. But after that auspicious day on the shore, I call him a gift. And that's what he had for me: a gift. He handed me a book. It could have been centuries old from how worn it was, but I would soon find out it was only a few decades old. All he said to me was, "I've been where you are, and this is what brought me home." I took it from his gnarled hands. The cover read "Drago: On Mountains We Stand by Todd Noy." Before I could say anything, he was already lumbering away, heading south along the sea line. I started reading and was quickly enveloped in such raw emotional response that I collapsed to the ground. Finally, in this cold, sandy embrace of the Earth, I found my own sigh of relief. The world made sense again. But who was that man? Was it Todd Noy himself? Another traveled soul like me? I can't say. But I can say this book saved me. Just like Drago, I survived the final count and refused to go down on the mat.

Finding this director is more important to me than this election. Find him, or her.

Tittle says it all, it’s really engaging!

An absolute blast, looking forward to season two

Such a funny, intriguing and light hearted listen. You will laugh out loud

This is a gem! So glad I found it.

I’m new at listening to podcasts, I love listening to them while I get chores done now, so when I first wanted to find something to listen to I asked my friend for a recommendation, and this was her top pick. She was totally right, this podcast is wonderful and the only thing I didn’t like about it is that it seems to be alone in it’s class, I can’t find anything else like it! I’m about to listen through it again now for a second time.

I stayed up through the night to finish this podcast, it’s so captivating. I recommend to everyone, not just those who’ve seen Rocky 4.

You can literally hear the freakin production value .....top notch podcast

I crammed all these episodes at work in two days. Couldn’t get enough the journey had me gripped hoping you would discover the mystery of Finding drago. Can’t wait for more episodes like this, thanks to Nick Mason for directing me to you guys I’m a new fan of your work.

Delightful! Hilarious! I loved going on this journey with you, and I hope you continue on uncovering obscure mysteries!

This podcast was given to me on an mps player by a random stranger on a beach in south America. Never have I heard anything so profund and hearfelt as this personal journey. At the end of the day we are all Tod Noy.

No podcast has ever made me feel more cherished than this.

I’ve been nerding out about this so much! I wish I was Todd Noy!

Few things make me laugh out loud, in public, at the gym, while jumping rope - a very entertaining listen.

Honestly starts off dorky, but seriously one of the most entertaining series of storytelling I've listened to on a long time. Funny, mysterious and completely captivating, with a satisfying sending in my humble opinion.

Great!

I took the Weekly Planet’s word for it and listened to all of this podcast. Never imagined that a mystery podcast about finding someone who wrote and published a Rocky fanfiction could be so gripping and have so many bizarre twists and turns. And the best part is, they are working for the Australian equivalent of PBS, so the Australian government is the one funding this search for a Rocky fanfiction author

I bought the book because of this, great podcast. I found this hilarious, and I finished it in one sitting!

listened back to back couldnt stop. great job!!!! MORE!!!!

I got here from The Weekly Planet this morning and I’m about to listen to the last episode. This is such a fantastically funny, endearing, crazy podcast. I have loved it.

This podcast is amazing! I’m so sad it’s only 7 episodes but it is the funniest, most gripping podcast I have heard. You guys should be real proud of how great this podcast is. Hope to see more like this in the future from you two.

....But who is project A?
