  • Great podcast

    This is the best podcast I’ve ever heard The ads aren’t too long and the stories are pretty good. I do wish they would bring back the D.B. Cooper one though that was really good.

  • Great series, but why commercials?

    I love this series! However, I’ve been a paying subscriber for the past few months. Never heard commercials until recently. What’s up with that?

  • Host of show is NOT being petty

    I never usually write a review for any podcast, but on today's episode, the host pointed out some negative comments regarding the podcast. I think it's a great podcast!

    Listeners- If you have nothing constructive to say, don't say it!

    I'm so glad that you brought it up on the show.People need to keep their negative petty comments to themselves! This review looks like it's coming from John Hall but it's actually his wife, I have listened to your show for years and thoroughly. Enjoy it!

  • The Lake Ness Monster

    I gave up after less than 5 minutes of the only episode I’ve listened to. An episode about a faked photo of the Loch Ness Monster repeatedly referred to lochs as lakes. It shows an ignorance and lack of cultural sensitivity so not a pod for me.
