What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The podcast is great, good stories and a fan of the narrator. But the sound effects, specifically the swallowing, kissing and crying make me skip episodes where those are prevalent. I would rather have no sound effects as the ones used take me right out of the story.

AppleGrrl · Jul 2026

Not only does Dr. No Sleep offer the most wonderful variety of horror stories, but his voice is absolutely perfect for it! Whenever I can’t sleep it, his soothing voice is just perfect and also gives a creepy edge to the stories. I have been binged his stories and got caught up within just a couple weeks. Thankfully he uploads new episodes weekly and I bing those too! There are over 100 episodes I started on and finished, so that tells you how often I listen haha! Going to have to sign up for his patreon to get the extra episodes for sure! Dr. No Sleep, whoever you are, thank you for your talent and being the reason I started listening to podcast. No one else is anywhere close to how talented you are and how incredible your voice and stories are! 11/10 recommend! 😄

Miss BGB · Jun 2026

I have caught up on every single episode and have to now wait every week for a new one to drop, this is the first podcast I have ever completed in its entirety and I look forward each week for something new! I started listening years ago but now have a long drive which allowed me to listen more frequently! By far my favorite podcast, I love the stories, the pacing and everything about them.

Makaela T · Apr 2026

Best horror story podcast I’ve ever listened to. I listen on my drive to and from work. I can’t get enough. I am going backwards as I’ve started listening since December. Keep it up!

suskarmat · Mar 2026

I love this podcast but please, for the love of everything good, stop using wet mouth sounds. I understand it takes us into the story, but the prevalence of this phobia should be enough to stop doing it. Crunching is good, but the wet sounds during chewing or kissing/making out makes me throw my ear phones across the room (not exaggerating). I am still back in the 2023 episodes so if I notice an improvement, I will be happy to change my rating.

Cas1995& · Apr 2025

This show just gets worse and worse. He actually came out to address the constant ads, only to basically say “get over it.” He clearly isn’t learning either. He’s not improving. Sometimes there’s a gem in here, but most stories are so distractingly awful that it’s genuinely hard to listen. At least he doesn’t do the constant mouth sounds like in his older episodes.
