  • Good stories but

    wish he didn’t use the voice actor every time. I just started listening, it’s early on yet, currently on season five. Thought it was just me but Derek (the host) eventually even brought it up, guess others mentioned it. They even started using a voice modulator but the uncanny valley is still too strong, would much prefer it if Derek just read the emails so the listener isn’t pulled out of the experience.

  • LOVE IT!

    I’ve listened to several paranormal podcasts. Derek’s commentary is so entertaining and his voice is calming. I listen every night as I’m slowly enjoying the library of stories. I had to join and am glad I did. Thanks Derek for a great show.
