I actually can’t believe this podcast isn’t blowing up, I’ve never listened to something before where I laugh out loud by myself like this. The places it’s going are just ridiculous, it’s so much fun
Frickin Awesome!!!! · Apr 2025
Low-budget, campy, and fun. But why is an anti-abortion org one of the sponsors?
BruceHeffernan · Mar 2025
I normally don’t listen to fiction podcasts but this one definitely caught my attention more than the others and it’s really funny and suspenseful.
Lilyh21 · Feb 2025
I’ve given this pod nine episodes, I really enjoyed the first few. The writing was fun and campy but it feels like it’s been spiraling and stretching for the last 6 episodes and I have lost interest. It feels like it isn’t sexy enough to call it sexy or scary or thrilling enough to call it either of those. I’ve listened to the last few hoping to get some answers in the plot but I think I’m officially out. I’m sure there is an audience for it, but that isn’t me
