Season Four: Penance Without warning, Sayuri has been locked up in the Pendleton Rehabilitation Center, and no one is willing or able to tell her why. Actually, getting any information from her fellow inmates or the labyrinthine bureaucracy that runs the facility seems impossible. But is the Pendleton really a prison, or something else? Starring Natalie Morales. New episodes air daily from October 19th through Halloween.

I love the 13 Days of Halloween series and 12 Ghosts. I return to these series through out the year. I have probably listed to ear 3 or more times. I am engrossed by the tales and the storytelling. I think this is such a lovely body of work and I look forward to it every year.
I look forward to this production every Halloween! I loved seasons 1-3. So creepy! I cared about the protagonists and was very invested in their well being. I still think about season 2, The Sea 😱😭 Sometimes I couldn’t listen to Season 3 bc I was so scared for Max! Season 4 was not enjoyable, I only stuck around hoping Sayuri (the 1st one we are introduced to) would meet her demise bc she was so unlikeable, selfish and her vibe did not match one of someone who was trapped in a psycho prison. I was not scared and half listened, which is not like the previous seasons where I was terrified. Hopefully season 5 mirrors the first seasons, it’s still a great podcast despite season 4 falling flat.
I love the quirky human side of horror which has been portrayed so well in this series. I can’t tell you how much I looked forward to this show the past four years. I am quite sad to see it end.
The production/ sound editing is really letting me down on the first episode. Once a specific character enters the narrative, the scratching sounds became a chalkboard in my brain. If you have even mild misophonia, AVOID.
I loved Season 1, it was a great concept that really drew you in with creepy stories. Season 2 wasn’t as good but was definitely worth the listen. I think having the “you” character talk took you out of the story a bit. Season 3 again was not as good as 1 or 2. It really seemed to lose something and was no longer creepy or scary, more so just a mystery story. Season 4 so far has been horrible. I really can’t get into it. Nothing is creepy or scary and the episodes are way way too long. 2 episodes have already been almost an hour…an hour of boring stories does nothing to keep your attention. I’m honestly contemplating not finishing the season and may not even give season 5 a chance (if there is one)… **UPDATE** I finished season 4 and it was just as bad as expected. It started to get slightly better but really fell off again at the end. My rating and review stay the same but I wanted to let readers know that I still think you should skip this season. Save yourself the time and just pass on it. Clearly, I’m not the only one who thinks this as the rating overall has dropped since this season was released. Hopefully Aaron sees this and goes back to the roots of the show for next year.
I really enjoyed the first season but did not care much for the third and even less the fourth. The actors are excellent across the board, but the writing- oof. The first season of this and the first season of 13 Ghosts were strong in that the overall structure supported 13 separate stories that tied in together. The last two seasons of 13 Days has leaned into one-off narratives that never quite connect, to me the listener or the main character we’re meant to be following. The final episodes of the third and fourth seasons were disappointing, unclarified, and muddled by preceding episodes that are full of unnatural sounding monologues and disjointed plot points. I’m hopeful future seasons will have multiple solo stories that tie into the bigger world building rather than one protagonist.
