F. I. Just listened to Man Out of Time episode where narrator repeats old story of Rudolph Fentz from 19thc popping up in modern NYC. He acknowledged that the tale was said to have come from a story by Jack Finley from Collier Magazine- but that the issue was nowhere to be found. The story- I’m Scared- is in fact easily found in their archive- September 15,1951 issue.
Love the podcast many great tales 👍
I get having ads, but having a loud ad at the very end completely destroys the vibe. Because of it, I can’t actually listen to them at bedtime.
The narrators voice is so ANNOYING and not good for a bedtime story as he’s talking normalally and quite loud so please shut up
My family and I love this podcast! I like how easy it is to follow. Even my kids can follow along with the eerie stories without getting nightmares. Great for all ages!
