Your podcast came as a recommendation from astonishing legends podcast. I do enjoy the way you have set up your podcast into parts. Very inventive. I also appreciate the depth of research. It may not be for everyone, but it is for me. Thank you for a job well done.
Have a nice day
Yo! Long time listener, even longer time reader. Troy, I thought you had peaked when you wrote the book about the Bell Witch. And then… the recent podcast release about the Ryman… well, you’ve struck a chord. I’m old enough to have seen an Opry in both locations (Many thanks to my folks for being virile at a late age). Anyway, you outdid yourself, brother.
the amount of anger coming through the podcast lately is impossible to ignore, and it’s pushing listeners away. It’s not subtle. It’s not occasional. It’s becoming the dominant tone of the show.

A history-forward show that blends hauntings, legends, true crime, and dark American history. Episodes typically weave well-researched narratives with period context, then move into post-narrative discussion where hosts unpack myth versus fact and share investigative notes. The format often centers Midwest and national crime stories tied to eerie locations, with a strong emphasis on archival materials, place memory, and the human impact of haunting legends. A standout feature is the robust host banter and crowd-sourced engagement, which helps listeners feel part of the investigation while maintaining a documentary tone. Potential listeners who enjoy thorough historical storytelling with a paranormal lens, plus some crime history, are likely... more
