  • Christian bias

    Narration is clearly AI, which I didn’t mind until I started to realize all topics are Christian-centric. Especially in the Ouija Board episode. I immediately stopped listening and unfollowed the podcast when it said “as Christians we know” essentially not to consult ghosts for guidance (but apparently an invisible man in the sky is fine). Expressing such a bias is going to vastly limit the size of the audience.

  • Wonderful podcast but…

    The post is very informative. However, please stop using the term “crossed” when you mean “died.” Hearing “crossed” is so jarring to the ear. Died means died. “Crossing” means what? Crossing to what?
