  • Listening to these stories really intrigued me until I started listening to the audio loop back to earlier portions of the episode and repeat. Then there’s oldest to newest playback. On audible it just kept repeating the same episode over and over to where I had to physically select the next episode in the sequence… but if I left the episode in the middle and went to restart it, it would loop back to the original first episode and I just got too frustrated to even try.

  • Can you please do some “that’s just weird episodes “🥺

    When I learned that lore was 10 years old I listened to as many episodes as I possibly could, by the way you should have 1 or 2 “that’s just weird episode” please please
