  • Fun unless you actually know how to do research

    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.

  • Interesting stories, but ads!

    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.
