I absolutely love you & your podcast!
That’s it❤️
lol Bailey has the best dark humor and I love it, best podcast gets me laughing out loud every day
I’m really impressed with Bailey and this pod. She’s smart, well researched. Her style of telling stories and history has so much heart and baked with her own charming individuality. I’m hooked, this is a real winner! Thanks Bailey, your pod kept me company over a long lonely solo thanksgiving holiday!
I loved watching these on Facebook and YouTube but the ads on here are ridiculous and i have to quit listening sadly. 🥲
Bailey has great stories, usually fairly well researched. But the tone of her performance is that of a gossipy, air-headed middle-schooler. This casual, careless manner of expression detracts badly from the dramatic tension of these grave stories. Additionally, some of Bailey's stories report scurrilous, unsubstantiated scuttlebutt, as if it were historical fact. If she has a choice between hard facts and blatant sensationalism, Bailey often chooses sensationalism.
