As a fan of ghost stories, I love listening to the narration of creepy stories. Love the tie in of history. 👻

Kwfot · Oct 2024

I want to love this pod because it’s a super interesting topic. However, the host consistently pronounces things extremely wrong, like chrysanthemums in the latest Sicily episode. Also, the voice is very monotone but also mumbled so it sounds like the script is being read poorly from a page. Overall, I think some simple improvements and attention to detail could really improve the overall pod.
