A very interesting and easy to listen to podcast, great stories and very good narration, one of my favourites, well done Ben, keep up the great work !!!
This is one of my top 5 podcasts of all time. Of those 5, Ben is the greatest host. Not only is his voice MADE for narration, his interest and passion for the subject matter comes across very clearly. It’s amazing how many details he digs up for stories that took place decades or even centuries in the past. I also love that he doesn’t have constant ads interrupting his stories. It’s a very tolerable amount of ad content compared to others.
Truly unique podcast.
I most definitely will not “also like an Oprah podcast”!
Just a great podcast with a great voice. Ben puts me to sleep in the best way possible. Dark or paranormal, smooth storytelling you can listen to over and over. I know he works alone but I wish he could put out a new podcast every day. Keep up the amazing work Ben! If you’re ever in northern Ontario Canada, beers are on me
