  • Politically Biased

    I listen to supernatural podcast’s to escape the ugliness of main stream media. However the host’s of this podcast bring up politics and their opinions frequently. Not a very welcoming environment.

  • Rob Lowe’s feet and pincher fingers

    I have been laughing through this whole episode. Dr. B? The way you’re describing her and when she says Rob Lowe has problems with his FEET! OMG dying. Then the “Pincher Fingers” grabbing ravioli!! This is my favorite episode so far. The lady in the tiny cubicle! By the time we get to the basement hole with pillows and sleeping bags that may still be there, I have tears in my eyes laughing. You both have a great way of telling a story.

  • It really IS scary fun!

    There’s a reason this show’s website is scaryfun.fun — because it is both scary AND fun (fun). I’ve been listening for years and am consistently delighted by Will and Kristen’s vibes and banter.

For most pods, I skip when I’m not into the topic, but I listen to GTTU without fail because I know that even if the topic isn’t my favorite thi... more

  • Silly and informative…the perfect combo!

    An eclectic mix of paranormal, horror, and other spooky $h!t keeps me coming back each week. Some episodes I could listen to multiple times….and do! Kristen and Will seem like genuinely good folk. I appreciate the respect they have for their fan base and the world around them. Keep up the good work! 🖤

  • Scary fun 🖤

    I loved the Witch Trials episode. Will & Kristen’s ability to deftly discuss important current issues and how they tie in with historical patterns like the witch trials, while also being funny, entertaining, and informative is really impressive. I learned a lot and had fun along the way!
