Two slackers, Ben (Lamorne Morris) and Grant (Billy Magnussen) attempt to catch an escaped convicted murderer, Shelly O'Keith (Jamie-Lee O'Donnell) who is allegedly hiding in their town to cash in on the million-dollar reward the police are offering.
The Unwanted podcast is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon by chance and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. As a quick distraction while on hold, I ended up binging the entire series and found myself incredibly engaged throughout. Despite being an audio-only experience, The Unwanted managed to captivate me in a way that few other forms of content have in recent times.
One of the best aspects of The Unwanted is its unique blend of humor and entertainment. The writing, acting, and sound design are all superb, resulting in a show that is both hilarious and well-crafted. The characters are loveable and the comedic timing is spot-on, leading to belly laughs and moments of pure joy. Additionally, the theme song featuring Rick Astley adds an extra layer of fun and energy to the show.
However, like any piece of content, The Unwanted does have some weaknesses. One particular aspect that could be improved upon is the inconsistency in quality across the different qcodes. While some episodes are exceptional and leave you wanting more, others may not resonate as strongly with listeners. For example, Ghost Tape was mentioned as being less enjoyable compared to others. Nevertheless, these inconsistencies do not detract significantly from the overall enjoyability of the series.
In conclusion, The Unwanted is an excellent podcast that manages to deliver both laughter and entertainment in equal measure. Its brilliant writing, talented cast, and catchy theme song make it a standout among QCODE's impressive lineup of shows. Although there is currently only one season available, I sincerely hope that there will be more episodes in the future because this series has left me wanting more. If you're looking for a laugh-out-loud comedy podcast with great characters and top-notch production value, then look no further than The Unwanted.

Written by award-winning journalist and author, David Kushner, based on his interviews with Gary Gygax, his research and writing about Dungeons & Dragons (RISE OF THE DUNGEON MASTER), and the missing person case which inadvertently made the game (in)famous.
