Terry coronation… That man is hilarious and makes the show. Fantastic! The stories are great. I love they get real people sending in real stories and they are narrated very well by the people who send them in. Add on top of great stories, Terry Carnation and his incredible sense of humor and ridiculous jokes and you got literal podcast Gold.!

I have been listening since the beginning and I still love Radio Rental. The stories mixed with the music and sound effects give the best vibe. My only complaint is that I miss Terry Carnation terribly! It has definitely been a ride not knowing who will host the next episode. The recent rewind episodes while the main podcast is on hiatus have been fun too. While they are repeat stories, it’s been awhile since I heard them so it’s like a new story! ♥️

I’ve always been known to go back to episode one and listen all the way to the latest episode now and then so these rewind episodes are great! Love hearing the commentary from the show runners and the voicemail System is hilarious

StrongishTimTim · Aug 2026

I love the side stories of Terry and his cat 😂 really entertaining. The actual stories and chilling and attention getting. I like that they are narrated by the actual person the incident happened to. I can’t stop listening !

Tformentini · Dec 2024

I love the stories but good googley moogley there are SO many ads. Only two stories per episode and the rest is mostly ads. I’ve seen the comments about the anti choice ads and that is very disturbing. I haven’t personally heard them because I skip all the ads. They should rethink those. There are plenty of other good creepy story podcasts where the ads, annoying new host and anti choice BS isn’t an issue.

Rrrrrraaaaawwww · Aug 2026

I rarely write reviews but this show has gotten so terrible that I had to leave one in the hopes that they will get the message of mine along with many others I have read and return to form. Show started off excellent in the first seasons with truly creepy and unique stories. Now EVERY story is the same. Someone ends up in an uncomfortable scenario and convinces themselves in their head that they are in danger and - shocker - NOTHING ever ends up happening. They are essentially the same story formulas in different settings/circumstances, many of them not believable to begin with. Rock bottom was the story where the guy THINKS he was ALMOST attacked by a shark. Get it together or just cancel the show altogether if you can’t find or come up with interesting content. I think most people are like myself at this point and are only continuing to listen on the hopes that it will return to what it once was
