  • Repeat

    I’d love to give this podcast a perfect score of 5. However, I’m a bit disappointed because the episodes keep coming back. I’m not sure if this is my fault, but I subscribed to get a second season. Instead, I got the same episodes that I’d already listened to. So, I’ve basically got the same episodes again. Because of this, I’m canceling my subscription. Could you please help me sort this out? So I can resubscribe.

    It has some pretty dark subject matter and might not be right for all listeners. Horror fans will love it though
