I love hearing the listener stories and the production with the music makes it even better! The host’s voice was made for this type of storytelling and I am here for it! I look forward to every new episode. Thank you.
I thought it was interesting the other day when Spooked and Otherworld did an episode swap. No doubt the two best "first person paranormal stories" podcasts. Glynn's intros have improved, and grown on me over time. Yes, his mannered delivery can be hit or miss, but finally, uhis sincerity carries the day. The global reach for Spooked is also a distinctive benefit. Great that they leave the discussion to those of us listening at home. No paranormal show needs a skeptic or a nod to skeptics, thank you. Find compelling people and let them share their truth. That's the only assignment!
I love love love spooked! We’re very longtime listeners, have listened since the very beginning, and we used to listen religiously. I had to stop, however, when they changed the way they do ads. It’s incredibly jarring to be listening to a moody scary story then all of a sudden bam! Several minutes of loud, upbeat ads begin to play that don’t match the vibe of the show at all. It’s truly more startling than the story (but not in a good way), and it’s not only once, it happens several times throughout the episode. Unfortunately it’s made the listening experience so unpleasant that I’ve stopped listening all together. But I miss it! Is there a way to play the ads only at the very beginning or very end? Or can someone from the show read them so they match the mood? Would love to listen regularly again. Would def leave a 5 star review if not for the ads!
There is no other podcast out there that I listen to more religiously than Spooked. From how the narrator sets up the stories to the actual stories told by the people themselves— this is exactly what I’m looking for in a horror podcast!
