  • Excellent Storyteller!

    This is one of my favorite new podcasts. Kaelyn is such a good storyteller that even if I’ve heard a true crime story from many other sources, the way she tells it draws me in and makes me want to hear it all over again. I also appreciate when her sister pops in since those two are really good about feeding off each other’s energy and vibes. Just an all around enjoyable time listening to this podcast!
