What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Every night this is my go to podcast a couple hrs before bed to wind down. It’s especially helpful on those nights after work when I find myself stuck in my own thoughts. I’ve listened to every episode multiple times and certain ones a few times. Keep Up the great work!

My family and I love this podcast! I like how easy it is to follow. Even my kids can follow along with the eerie stories without getting nightmares. Great for all ages!

The narrator’s cadence and voice help me go to sleep at night. I like the shortness of the episodes with interesting content and unusual stories that I’ve never heard before. I wish there were not ads right in the middle though.

Dark&StormyNight · Dec 2025

If you think the show is too monotone, I agreed at first but just give it time. He gets into the grove a few episodes along. Just wait until you get the “personal stores of bedtime stories team” the second episode where Rich tells the last story. No spoilers but it hit me hard, made me shed a tear. Truly gets you thinking.

JrSext · Nov 2025

*Please read the whole thing* I am not trying to be mean or rude. I’m offering my honest feedback because I appreciate this show and know it can be better. I’d like this podcast 1,000% more if the speaker would STOP forcing his voice into an artificial and unnatural cadence. Not sure what he’s trying to accomplish by making his voice the way it is, but it’s not working. It is smothering the quality content this show is capable of offering! The reason I know that he’s “trying” to do something with his voice is because he is not talking how real human beings speak! The normal cadence of a person’s voice contains variations. What makes a storyteller compelling is the unpredictability of their pauses, speed, intonation, and emphasis. When a person rigidly follows the same rhythmic formula for every. single. sentence. the listener might as well plug their headphones into a metronome. Metronomes are boring and put people to sleep. This narrator’s uncanny imitation of a metronome is making these interesting stories seem boring. ¡PLEASE, heed what people are saying in these comments! If you do nothing, and eventually comments like mine stop rolling in, that is not a good sign. All that means is people have given up on trying to improve this show and just stopped listening.

I get having ads, but having a loud ad at the very end completely destroys the vibe. Because of it, I can’t actually listen to them at bedtime.
