  • Em and Whoever

    I'm so happy and relieved Em is continuing the show after Christine moved on. I LOVE Em, and have always listened for the Em vibe. I'm looking forward to the trajectory of where Em takes it, whoever joins in. Exciting times!

  • Sad but Excited

    I’m sad that Christine’s last episode was released but excited to see who’s on deck for the future. I loved Em’s episodes with Bethany! They have great chemistry and she’s been my favorite substitute! Would love to hear more with her!

  • Now that Christine is leaving, I am too.

    Why would anyone want to listen to someone describing what they watched on some TV show’s episode when I could just…… go watch the episode myself? Lazy podcasting. The “paranormal” part of the show isn’t even about the paranormal anymore, it’s just Em describing whatever TV show they watched that week.
