  • Please do a separate podcast for the religious stuff

    I really enjoyed your History Goes Bump podcasts until you started inserting the Christian sermons into it. Not appropriate for the topic at all. I don’t need more Christian content being inserted where it doesn’t belong… too much of that is happening in the U.S. right now. I respect your right to practice your religion, but please please don’t put it into what was a wonderful ghostly content podcast.

  • The ICE ads are a turn off

    This is the only podcast I listen to that plays ICE ads. Gross. I won’t be listening if these ads continue.

  • Disappointing

    Not so well researched like HGB. She clearly doesn’t understand how the Earth evolved and how life began. It came from water. Hard to listen to.
