  • Excellent atmospheric podcast

    I have loved listening to these episodes, talented writers creating chilling, melancholic and expertly crafted spins on many different intriguing topics. The narration is perfectly suited to the material - with a professional and intimate flourish that you can only get from an actual human being doing the work who knows their stuff. The audio sound effect enhancements help put you right in the stories. Highly recommend!
