  • Used to be good

    Now too wishy-washy, repeating old-wives’ tales or all-to-known stories.

    Used to have actual people’s stories. Now it feels just pompous waffle and not much spooky.

  • Used to be good

    Now it seems just a weird mishmash.

    Often a lot of talking but not much ‘spooky’.

    It’s a shame. It was really good earlier on.

  • Too many ads

    Loved this podcast for years but now ads completely ruin the immersive nature of the spooky tales. The stories are like those on Uncanny (a firm fav) but unlike Uncanny, they are peppered with banal adverts that jar the experience. Now I only listen when I’ve nothing else. I get people need to monetise but when and how ads are placed can mean the difference between keeping folk on board or driving them away.

  • A Once-Enjoyable Listen That Has Lost Its Way

    I initially enjoyed the interesting stories this podcast offered, but recently it has become a chore to listen to. The intrusive ads are frequent and often appear suddenly, interrupting the flow of the content.
