Is there any unnamed passengers on board the Night train??? Rudy Ackerman said in episode 13 that that everyone in the lounge car with his passengers, we listeners new, but in episode 18 it seemed like there were more people in Pullman’s car then the passengers we know

Great, family friendly podcast that my two 5-year-olds are obsessed with. The production quality is very good and the story is entertaining. Please produce more like this!

My boys are completely obsessed with this story and have listened multiple times. Love the Christian elements and find it overall beautifully done. Would prefer less use of the word “stupid” (just a warning if you’re trying to avoid this for your little ones) from the children and disappointed they did not choose better vocabulary!

My children loved listening to this! I enjoyed the story (which had a few twists!), the characters, and the acting. The plot and details are very well thought out and explored. The production value is phenomenal- music, sound effects and the voices of the characters were so well done. It reminded me of what an old radio broadcast story might sound like. The dialogue was very realistic (although Edith and Paul were often used to describe things for audio-only purposes), and at times I was laughing about something that was said. I also loved seeing the Mallards Catholic faith in action- in some prayers but mostly in how they treated others and the relationships they formed. I would love to hear more multi-episode stories like this!

On the night train is an amazing podcast! My family and I listen to it alll the time. My younger siblings beg to listen to it over and over again! The relationships that the mallard children have with some of the passengers are incredible! We have probably listened to each episode 6-7 times and could easily do it again! With greatest love The Kings 🩵

So thankful to find this podcast. We listened on our 6 hour long car trip each way and my young children were entertained and enriched by the story. Will be following The Merry Beggars to see what they do next!

My family of four little men LOVE this podcast. We have listened to EVERY episode at least 5 times. They can recite the episode titles in order. Better yet, they knew the book and chapter of this past weekend’s gospel by heart because of this! ❤️ Thank you, Merry Beggars! Please make another series like this! (And, if we could give you 10 stars we would!)

The night train is a really good podcast practically all my friends listen to it! It would mean a lot to me if you guys can make a season 2 of the night train and they go on the Wrong set of tracks and go to Arizona and Edith Paul have to solve a new mystery! From Charlotte Age 12 ❤️

The night train podcast is the best ,it’s so awesome and my family understands it .The podcast is great for long roadtrips!

One of the only podcasts that is clean, Christian, and just plain awesome!!!🥳

Please make another season!!

I love the intrigue and suspense of the story. I love the mystery and the twists and turns in the story. My favorite character is Mrs. Smith!!

I love the analog

I don’t even know where to begin with this train wreck. I’ll be generous since it’s an original story but I finally crawled through the story and abandoned the night train about halfway through the last episode. I found myself wanting to give double lamb’s tongue to the enemy after this. He seemed better than Mr Pullman- even if Pullman pulled a classic bad guy come good guy at the end.

Our family loved this story! My kids kept begging to hear what happened next. We can’t wait for a new story, but we’ll definitely be listening to the night train again! And as a mom, I can’t say enough how much I appreciate a good family story that incorporates in a simple way our Catholic faith. Thank you!

We are listening to this for a second time! Our whole family loves it!!

My 8 year old son absolutely loved loved loved this story and my 4 yr old daughter as well. We listened to it every time we got in the car. 😍😍😍😍😍😍 They are ready for another adventure story!!

I FINISHED IT BUT I STILL LISTEN TO IT!!!!! GOOD JOB MERRY BEGGARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gave it a 5 Star review👍

Me and my brother and sisters (11 9 5 3 1 ) Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍🤍!!!!!!!

My daughter (11) and I listened to this on a recent LONG road trip. It’s riveting! We recently moved 20 mins from Ogden Utah so that was great tying in the railroad here! Each episode ended and we HAD to keep going! I wish there were more like this! I loved that it was faith based to! Great job! Please do more like it!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My family and I were fervently engaged with this story. We could stop listening to it. I went out of town and listened to it separately with my family. Then while calling them in the evening, we couldn’t stop talking about it! Need more of this!

The best podcast I ever listened to, I can’t wait for more! You guys should make a movie out of the Night train, I love the music at the end of last episode it makes me and my brother and sisters dance .👍❤️

I love this podcast in the world and I love it I’m on episode seven try it out you’ll love it is about being stowaways and challenges try it pls

Horrible podcast. I hate history

It’s a really awesome podcast! It’s very family friendly while at the same time keeping you on the edge of your seat. Quick edit: Now that I’m about done, I can honestly state that this was very well done. I look forward to the next one you guys do!

My entire family, from the baby to the the 8 year old and the adults, loved this story. We’ll done, truly engaging

The Merry Beggars’ production of A Christmas Carol is excellent- so I had high hopes for On the Night Train. We listened as a family on a long road trip, but by the fourth episode I couldn’t stand listening to it due to the nearly constant yelling by Edith and Paul. Nearly every line of their dialogue is delivered at a needlessly high pitch (I can tolerate such in moments of real peril and urgency, but these only happened occasionally), frequently shouting or whining. As a mother who listens to plenty of that in real life, I don’t want to listen to it in a radio show. The dialogue could have been executed in a manner much more tolerable to the ear- more conversation, less bickering. The rest of the van continued to listen to it; I had to put in my earplugs.

My brother and I love this podcast and we even counted down the days until the next one, and it kept us guessing until the very end!👍👍🥰

Love this! So awesome! 👏

Our boys (9, 7 &7) loved the series. It ended and they started it over again. Engaging for the parents as well. Thank you, Merry Beggars!

My four and eight year old loved it! I was drawn in as well, and enjoyed listening to it together.

Kids 6+ LOVED listening to the weekly episodes (even Mom & Dad). Can’t wait to see what you come up with next, Merry Beggars!

The mystery part of this podcast was good enough to keep us listening, but some adults will find the exposition and religion of plot points tiresome. I’m sure it’s mean to keep younger kids engaged and that’s fine, I just think the writing could have been better in that respect to accomplish the same thing without literally reappearing things over and over. And I also could have done without Paul Mallard exclaiming “Snakes Alive!” More times than Samuel L Jackson says the F word in Snakes on a Plane. But I still give this podcast 4* and would recommend it since it does engage the whole family and that’s rare for podcasts. Definitely a nice road trip binge if you have young kids.

I thoroughly enjoyed On the Night Train. I couldn’t wait for the next episode each Sunday. Please bring us more mysteries like this one.

My kids & I have enjoyed listening to this show every Sunday on the way home from church!! They looked forward to it!! Thank you for such a good show!!

This is a really cool story although it’s a little cheesy lol. I love mystery's, but it’s hard to find good, interesting stories that aren’t so secular. I love the Christian parts! Even though these stores probably meant for younger kids, I can still enjoy it as a teenager, because I still can’t figure it out! The actors and actresses did a great job! The only reason I didn’t give 4 stars is because of how cheesy it is. Keep up the good work! Thanks for the great content.💖

I really enjoyed the storyline. I appreciate the Merry Beggars and their commitment to bringing entertainment to the whole family. All ages can appreciate and follow along. I hope they have another story in the works now this is over.

Thank you so much for doing this Merry Beggars! All the actors performances are great, unfortunately it’s sad to read people complaining about petty stuff such a the kids voices! Keep up the great work you ALL are doing! My family and I are really enjoying this story and can’t wait for more! God bless you!!

The only thing that would make it better is being able to listen to next week’s episode faster! It’s such a great story, well-acted, with well-developed characters. The kids are fantastic! I don’t listen to many podcasts, especially not fiction, but I never miss an episode and I’ve recommended this show to family and friends.

I’ve made it this far (episode 16) so I’ll finish, but there are more negatives than positives here. As I said in the title of my review, there’s too much repetition of information—how many times are Edith and Paul going to tell each other that they’re stowaways, for instance? Then there’s the fact that for people who are trying to be stealthy, they yell A LOT. They don’t listen to or show respect for one another, they don’t even follow their own advice, and they constantly jump to conclusions. Then there are the adults, many of whom are dismissive, behave in a contradictory manner, and/or are downright mean. I enjoyed their reading of A Christmas Carol, so was hoping for an entertaining audio play.

Oh my gosh episode 17 like blew my mind that Sam was the Wagner man I thought want to be Kate Smith or preceptor professor dopey but or George Crocker I am so surprise it’s one of Pullman worker i’m just surprised that it’s the conductor Sam Lewis Because you know that Keith Smith is like hiding Jules under bed In a room if you haven’t seen that episode yet go back to episode 10 of and bison or professor dopey dad because he has maps where pins where the the the sabotage sabotage this happened and if you haven’t seen that also goes back to Allison bison But the only thing that doesn’t make sense to me it’s Sam uncoupling the luggage car because there’s a chance that he might fall off the track like on the cart might just fly off the track or another train behind The night train just crash actually I just thought again that even if he does he will cost to accident why are you a crash the night train up after Clift if you haven’t seen that go back to the episode 17 or second that and the train behind them Will crash into the luggage car

I like the general storyline. The mother’s voice is nice and soothing, same with Harold’s voice and Rosie’s. But the kids are constantly bickering, screaming and/or whining. They constantly repeat like a broken record: We have to save the night train, etc. It becomes annoying. In the last few episodes, the children are terribly disrespectful in conversations with most adults on the train. If they are supposed to be heroes, at least make them a little more deserving of the role. I don’t like the idea that they will be praised as heroes in the end after back-talking so badly, not to mention snooping around where they shouldn’t. They could have been presented as more respectful, while still being very concerned and suspicious. I don’t blame any of the adults in the story for not believing them or respecting their parents. These “hero-kids” are a disgrace, and reveal very bad upbringing.

We love the adventures and the surprises that happen on the Night Train. The characters are wonderful. The stories really bring out your imagination! They bring everything to life. We listen to the episodes again and again!!!

I like trains and this is fun and creative train story Plus it’s a mystery it’s sabotage mystery suddenly Mary diamond reveals as Louis mallards wife But can you tell me who’s sabotaging the night train what I think is the sabotage is a team kate smith,Sam ,professor dopeydad,miss chrocker mr chrocker and Wagner If i am wrong please tell me who is sabotaging the night Plus please in the next episode please let there be no manager in California Sacramento so Will mallard will be rehired thank you I love the the night train

On the night train presents good Catholic values but Edith and Paul are extremely immature for their age and time period. Edith is constantly complaining about how scared she is for the majority of the episodes. Paul doesn’t have a proficient vocabulary like he says he does and he can’t even call someone by their own name and instead uses an idiotic nickname. He also is constantly taking risks and almost getting brutally killed. I cannot express how annoying their voices are when they get anxious. Edith is constantly yelping “MOMMA!” And “DADDY” in the most horrible way it makes me want to punch a wall. I really want to listen to this show and enjoy it but their voices makes the whole experience dreadful. So Merry Beggars, Please choose wisely when you are casting voice actors. 3/5 stars

The heart the actors have to tell this story keeps me hooked. Along with the voices and clever script, the sound design transports the listener back in time. I am entertained by the story and have learned more about the world when trains helped shape our growing country. Well done, Merry Beggars. I look forward to more stories!

The characters are a bit under age for the way they act and maybe you guys should make a tween and teen Version that’s less cheesy love the show

Our whole family loves listening to this awesome show together. We look forward to it every Sunday Night after dinner. Beautiful portrayal of truth, goodness and beauty. We love how loving the Mallard family is to each other and how they stand up for what is right. Keep up the great work!!! Thank you!!!

I’m really enjoying this podcast. It’s a breath of fresh air from the other fiction podcasts out there. The sound design is wonderfully realistic. The young voice actors are talented and engaging. I caught myself exclaiming, “Snakes Alive…” the other day!!! I’m really glad I found it. Well done.
