What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love this shop. I just found it, and I’m starting a binge. The storytelling is great and their voices are as well. I like the choice of stories, It doesn’t feel like the same old same old. I hope they managed to stay away from any political comments or negativity that has ruined so many other podcasts.

Devine Ms D · Dec 2024

I absolutely love this podcast and have from the first episode. I appreciate the variety of topics, the obvious commitment they put into every episode, and how well they gel with each other. Keep up the amazing job Josh, Austin, Daniel and team!!!

JWSqwa · Dec 2024

The stories themselves are very interesting but they ruin them with unnecessary banter. They like to restate what they just told you a lot and then repeatedly state the obvious like “that’s horrible” over and over again. Yea we know. Rarely is the extra talking adding anything of value except to bloat the run time of each episode

Jcable0 · Nov 2024

I absolutely love that there’s a podcast devoted to all the “weird” things I love… paranormal, true crime, aliens, cryptids… all of it, wrapped into one show. Cannot recommend more.

tbbpolsen · Nov 2024

This used to be one of my favorite podcasts, but it's honestly gone downhill. I’ve been a loyal listener for years, but the last few episodes? Painful. I use the Podcasts app (yes, for *listening*), but now they’re obsessed with these long videos. I get that people watch on YouTube, but it’s a podcast, not a video show. They used to actually describe the clips, but now? Nope, they just assume everyone’s watching and leave listeners in the dark. These videos drag on forever, and I have no clue what’s happening, but apparently, it’s ‘relevant.’ It’s honestly lazy and frustrating that they’re going this route. Like, does no one in their circle see the issue? Videos on a podcast? Come on.

Loved this podcast when it was mostly about true crime. Now it’s about ghost and haunted places. Cool but not really my thing anymore. Sound quality is good and it shot well.
