  • Not the worst, not the best.

    Focuses too much on biases instead of actually telling the story. Vocal phrasing is negatively distracting so I had to finally stop listening.

  • So interesting

    American Shadows is one of my favorite podcasts! I love the stories that happened between the 1800s to early 1900s. This show has introduced incidents that I had never known about before. N

  • Just a thought

    Just wanted to tell y’all that ‘queer ‘ is a very charged word in the LGB and TQIA+ communities. The TQIA+ side mostly embrace it. Us LGB folks of a certain age generally don’t but SOME of the younger folks do— it really depends. So if you mean Gay, say Gay. Otherwise it’s borderline insulting and definitely confusing. more

  • Another podcast to make us miserable

    My first time listening and I chose the horrific story about Coney Island and the terrible abuse suffered by the baby elephant Topsy. I could not listen to the end because you can’t un-hear things. Im sure the baby elephant dies a slow cooked agonizing death after a lifetime of fear and loneliness. I can’t get my hour of life back but I can make sure I don’t add to the host thinking these are good topics to talk about. And her vocal fry is unbearable. Please get a voice coach.
