  • Feels like story-time

    Hi Kaitlyn, I just want to share that my favorite aspect about your podcast is that you feel like the narrator that is off to the side of a live play or telling me a story at story -time at the library. I love the way that you produce your shows and that it’s semi scripted. The folk lore like episode are my favorite. I never feel afraid, I can trust that you’re not going to jump scare me. Your podcast is like no other.

    Bunches of love, a fellow Texan.

  • Good but…

    I really enjoy this podcast! I watch on YouTube and listen depending on if I’m home or at work. The only reason I’m deducting one star is because on YouTube it seems like she frequently uses AI generated images- I’d prefer just watching her talk into the mic rather than see AI “art” to illustrate the stories or put Kaelyn in a kind of version of the lofi girl drawing. Please look into the ethical and environmental issues around AI usage!
