Heard you on Bigfoot Society. CooL Podcast Brother
I heard Chester on Bigfoot Society and loved the stories and the way he presented. Same with his show. Excellent content, check it out.
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.
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.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
