What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

First of all, Kristin is fantastic. She is not AI. But a very fun down to earth woman who researches her passion meticulously. Personally I think the pacing is fantastic and love the dark side of American history that Kristin and ‘The Grim’ teach us about. If you like history and want to learn something that no one else is going to teach you then this podcast is for you. Cheers!

I really enjoy this podcast and look forward to new episodes. The reviews suggesting that this is narrated by AI are so ridiculous. She does speak quickly (which my ADHD loves for the record) but she also speaks clearly (not mumbled) and is pleasant to listen to (not monotone.) The content is well researched and very interesting. I know we’re not all going to like the same things but I feel like the negative reviews are overly ugly. Podcasts take an immense amount of work and time and I for one certainly enjoy and appreciate this one.

Your voices are pleasant and the subject matter is interesting. However you mispronounced PALERMO every time you read it. Fortunately you can easily find the correct pronunciation for any word by looking it up. Make your podcast a five star production by caring enough to pronounce words correctly.

Jarshush · Nov 2024

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.

nativedelirium · Nov 2024

I listened to part of an episode and tapped out.. the subject matter could be really interesting but the delivery is rushed, boring and no personality.. sounds like a kid reading a book report in class as fast as possible just to get it done.. I don’t mean to be harsh, but if you want this to be successful, read these reviews as constructive criticism and make adjustments and improvements.. you’ll probably enjoy making this podcast more than it seems like you do now
