  • Holy Toledo buy a real mic!

    If you want to produce a professional podcast then spend a few bucks on decent equipment and do a little research on proper narration techniques and room treatment to avoid sounding like you’re an amateur voice over wannabe recording inside a barrel.

  • It’s ok but….

    It is an interesting show at times, some of the people interviewed are clearly off their rockers and they put too much personal agenda into the topics they are talking about. The hosts “active listening” noises (like ‘mmhmm’ ‘yeah’ and such) get REALLY annoying and way too frequent. The show needs better guests and more research by the host on the topics before having people on.

  • Not as advertised

    No true stories, but most are kind of fun for the spooky season, unless you’re a scientist…it’s super obvious the host strings together random scientific words without understanding their meaning. I listened to an episode highlighting my chosen science and it was actually physically painful to listen to some of it.
