The Exorcist Files - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love and look forward to the thought provoking interviews and topic driven chats w/Ryan and Fr. Martins. This podcast alone has dispelled many of the misconceptions I held of the Catholic faith as well as led me to reexamine my Lutheran upbringing and, frankly, my entire relationship with God. That said, the exorcism case re-enactment episodes I can do without. I realize this is “The Exorcist Files” and many clearly enjoy these episodes. I just personally find them to be on the corny side and that distracts me from the actual stories. Something about the reenacting of such events makes me uncomfortable anyway. So the season ends for me when the drama portion of the podcast begins. Well produced otherwise. Half of this podcast will always be in my Top 5.

I learned about this podcast while waiting in line to visit St. Jude’s relic. I am forever changed by what I hear in this podcast. It increases my faith and brings me closer to Jesus. Thank you Fr. Carlos! Ryan I love the jokes. I love the dramatic reenactments but even more I love the bonus episodes that are incredibly educational and faith-building.

Love this podcast! Both the reenactments and the bonus episodes are excellent. I love that there is so much teaching going on in both. I grew up a practicing Catholic but this podcast (and Fr Martin’s book) have charged up my faith to another level! I was one of those “the devil is the representation of the dark side of human nature” people. I am now truly convinced of the battle going on for all of our spirits. I have realized how urgent and important reconciliation is for our souls. I had not been in decades. I finally went two weeks ago and it was an amazing experience! The peace in my heart is amazing! Thank you Fr Martins and Ryan! Oh and I love your jokes Ryan! LOL!

I learn so much about spiritual warfare from The Exorcist Files. I share this podcast with friends and family because it’s so valuable and also entertaining. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I also love being a vault member, I highly recommend joining. It’s worth it for the extra content. God bless.

Excellent content. A force for good in the world. 5 stars on that note. Have been a fan from the beginning.

One specific point of criticism if the creators are reading this: while I can appreciate the host aims to balance the heavy themes with lighthearted jokes here and there, Ryan’s constant joking has gotten tiresome, especially when over used (feels like every segue, every initial response to fr. Martins is reliably eye rolling) and comes off as strained and indulgent. Please don’t rely so much on stupid jokes in your writing and interviewing. The constant attempts at comic relief have become obnoxious—even approaching dreadful. Just fyi, as an avid fan I’m starting to skip ahead as soon as I hear Ryan’s voice just to avoid the predictably lame witticisms.

If my criticism seems a little harsh it’s only because I’ve listened to most episodes multiple times. (As a whole, the show is that good!) Appreciate all the hard work that goes into the podcast. God bless y’all!

First things first. Season one was amazing, and Season two is very good. But we’ve been sold a bill of goods. This podcast raised a LOT of money on kickstarter - $195,000+ to be exact. And the host promised and even made references to all the dramatic episodes. Yet all we get are Q&A sessions? Frequent mentions of all the dramatic shows, how many there are, but still no shows. The a couple appear. Not as high quality as before, and much more male centered, but there. It’s still good, but this show seems like a money grab.
