  • Love Genevieve and This Podcast!

    I just discovered this podcast and I am in love! Genevieve is delightful, the episodes are all really well researched, and I look forward to the new episodes each week. It’s become my go to podcast to listen to to get me through my work day, and it makes work a little more macabre.

  • So amazing!

    I just discovered MVN within the last week and love it. I made my sister listen to an episode and now she’s hooked too. We listen while we cross stitch and on our trip. Genevieve was the perfect companion on our travels and by the time we made it to our hotel I joined the Patreon at The Coven level. We are officially hooked.

  • Could be amazing

    I’d love to love this podcast but the constant mention of politics drives me nuts. If she would just stick to the stories and history I’d be an avid listener. Yes, I realize it’s her podcast to do with what she wishes but it’s also my choice to turn off and not recommend because of this.

  • The podcast of my dreams (and nightmares)

    Genevieve Manion reached into my 19th century daydreams and pulled out My Victorian Nightmare. It feels as if she somehow reached back in time to a previous life as a Victorian spiritualist and brought it to the life in the style of an old school radio show. When Genevieve calls these macabre tales “oddly comforting”, I know exactly what she means. Listening feels like being wrapped in a blanket in a dark Victorian mansion by flickering gaslight, hearing the most fascinating, haunting and curiou... more
