  • Unsung Podcast That Brings the Spotlight to Unsung Celebrities

    Justin does a great job at creating a chill atmosphere and vibe for his guests.

    Not only that he brings some underrated and wonderful people who deserve more spotlight for their works in the entertainment industry.

    Robin Shou AKA the original Liu Kang and John Butterfield the voice of the lengedary dragoon from The Legend of Dragoon himself!

    He also responds and takes suggestions and really cares about fans of the podcast! Wonderful!

    I wish I could give a thousand stars

  • Great interview podcast

    This is genuinely one of my favourite podcasts. You get your obvious horror icons of literature and film, which is great. Though the thing that makes this one of my favourite podcasts is they also get people from all sorts of mediums such as prop works, video games and music. They also get people who you wouldn’t expect to associate with the horror genre such as Karyn Parsons (fresh prince of bel air) and Daniel Stern (Home Alone) Which is really cool.
