  • The about section…

    Really… as she tells stories of the dead people. They couldn’t put ANYTHING more respectable or anything. I mean come on the stories would be something I wanna hear but just using them but with a different host. And not trying to pulls the feels. It’s too forced

  • Good podcast

    I am enjoying this podcast and like the little touches that are added. For example, sound effects are added to help bring the stories to life. The only negative thing I can think of is that a lot of the conversations are done over the phone and the quality of the sound is not very good and there are parts where I can’t understand much of what is being said. It is however still worth listening to.

  • Great guests, dramatic host

    Excellent stories shared by guests. Stephanie is super annoying. Stop trying to sing! Hard to describe your narration. Overly dramatic, horrible. Please, just read your script, remove the exasperation!

  • Great stories, but . . .

    The host is a bit “precious.” It’s like she’s trying to feel emotions for us.

    Just tell the stories. We will have our reactions.

    You have a great thing here. Keep going . . . trust yourself to tell the story without the emotional delivery.

  • Gene Wilder

    I am loving your podcast. It’s very interesting to get the behind the scenes stories of some of these people who have touched all of our lives.

    You should definitely follow up the gene wilder episode with a Richard Pryor one. Nothing would be more fitting than the two of them together.
