- Aaron Mahnke was rude to me
Aaron Mahnke was very terse with me on Twitter in 2019 and still hasn’t paid for it.

One of the absolute best podcasts around. I love the stories and the storytelling. Spooky and historical, with the right balance of both!
Apple Podcasts5BBarklowUnited States3 months ago - Soo good 🙌🙌
I am a 10 year old and I absolutely love these stories. I sometimes tell my friends them and they freak out! Thank you so much for keeping this up. I actually knew about this show last year and it was because I was very sick and bored so I asked my mum to find me a podcast, something creepy, mysterious and interesting. Once she played one episode I got obsessed. Thx ☺️ -Alma
