A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was pleasantly surprised when Vanessa Richardson guest hosted the Spooky Season episode of Twisted Tales. The story telling seemed clearer, more engaging and concise. Vanessa brought something that always seemed missing in Heidi’s episodes. I hope Vanessa will take over, or at least guest host more.

Htylvr · Sep 2026

I really enjoyed the original premise of the podcast, binging episodes. But the recent pivot to only creepy pasta retellings feels like a hard left from the original premise. It’s now totally fictional retellings that most of us have heard already and none of the interesting facts that kept me listening. Hopefully next season corrects back to the original premise, the new format is not for me.

Jksid · Jul 2026

I first heard about Twisted Tales on the Heart Starts Pounding podcast, which is one of my favorites. Heidi Wong was a guest on the pod, and I enjoyed her storytelling so much that I decided to follow her here and I have not been disappointed. Heidi does a great job covering interesting concepts in a fun way. I’m looking forward to catching up on all of previous episodes, and I’m so happy to find a new podcast.

⭐️Princess Gwendolyn⭐️ · Jun 2026

I don’t even remember how I found this show but I’m so glad I did. I love the deeper stories to horror movies and myths. This show scratches that itch.

AlexDGreek · May 2026

I really wanted to like this. Heidi has a gorgeous voice for podcasting. But you can tell off the bat it’s extremely scripted and there’s no personal interest or monologue in the episodes at all. Every now and then you get a sound bite that sounds clipped in. Then it throws you off..

TTORRES.TR · Mar 2026

The script is terrible and sounds so aggressively scripted. Information, especially within Catholic contexts is poorly researched at best. If you know anything about the cases discussed, you know how much detail is missed. I usually love Crimehouse productions (i am a premium subscriber) but I truly think this show is not given as many resources or enough effort as the other shows, so this falls flat for me.
