What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Our family loves Micro Terrors. Every week we anticipate each new episode. The stories are clever, just the right level of trills to entertain kids (and adults), long enough to kill time while driving around without being so long that kids lose interest. And the production is excellent with sound effects, music and accents for each character. Highly recommended!

VTfisherman · Apr 2026

The stories were the best! However an eight year old knowing about siren head isn’t exactly a good idea as it might cause nightmares. But overall it’s amazing! My favorite one was “The Computer Crash” because the idea of turning a saying into a spooky story is amazing! Looking forward to the next one!

Niknare · Oct 2024

I recently found this podcast and now I love it so much. I recommend it to people who like scary stories that are good for kids. My favorite episodes are Siren Head, Onion Soup, and Flashlight Tag. If you haven’t watched it yet I definitely think you should! Keep making P.S. You should make one on Slendermen. That’s one of my favorite urban legends!

carmen girly · Jun 2024

The stories are fun and enjoyable. Spooky, but not too scary for young ears. This is a great option for young horror fans!
