A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I’ve been a huge fan of mysterious topics or “Fortean events” since growing up watching the 90’s Robert Stack show “Unsolved Mysteries”. This podcast reminds me of that show—a straightforward journalistic presentation, with empathy, that discusses possible explanations but doesn’t venture into unhinged ancient aliens territory. I’m here for it!
Love the soothing voices. Good to listen to to fall asleep. I love mysteries. Please leave up as I didn’t find until after they’ve stopped making new episodes. Love the straightforward clear simple explanations of the mysteries. Thorough coverage. So enjoying these mysteries. Thank You. Smiley face emoji.
I had given this podcast a five star rating because I love to listen to this and other Parcast podcasts. This one has interesting content and soothing voices from hosts Molly and Richard and here on Apple podcasts it is not interrupted by commercials. It even helps me sleep. So glad you're back from Spotify. Please leave the episodes up even if you will not be making new ones. Many of us here missed some while you were away.
I really enjoy this podcast! It is very well done and very informative. A ton of research seems to go into each episode because I listen to some of the same stories on other podcasts and none of them have near the amount of info as this one does. This podcast does a fantastic job of giving facts and debunking a lot of things that seem hard to explain. I like that the hosts seem fairly impartial to the stories, I feel it makes it easier to present things at face value rather then all of these topics being presented as matter of opinion. I highly recommend this podcast if you want a more or less answer to some of the strange things that happen in the world.
I tried. I really did. But I just couldn’t get into this podcast. Which stinks as it has subject matter I enjoy. But the first episode turned me off hard. The hosts had no chemistry with each other what so ever. The way they read the scripts came off so very dry. I’ve listened to other podcasts that are of a similar format and they don’t sound like discount Discovery Show episode narrators. And that’s not to ray on them mind you. I feel like they probably can narrate well. Just not together and maybe with better vocal direction. The script wasn’t very good either. There was a ton of fluff in between subjects that are being talked about. It sounded nice, but you didn’t need 30 words to describe things we already knew about once part of the painting. Normally I give shows like these a shot and listen to a few episodes before passing judgement, but this one was just so, average and nothing that I bounced off it extremely soon.
I listened for as long as I could, but the woman’s affectation is unbearable. The stories are well written and presented, but the artificial manner in which Molly speaks is not for everyone.
