  • New hosts swear a lot.

    I tried to give the new hosts some time, but excessive vulgar language just makes them sound unintelligent. Grundy said they were open to honest feedback back and there it is.

  • Once the best paranormal podcast.

    This was used to be the best paranormal podcast, by quite some margin. Now it’s got two new hosts who are just aren’t the same. Shame, because there really anything out there like the original Mysterious Universe. It isn’t terrible, but it isn’t insightful anymore.

  • After a few years, not not worth listening to

    The sharp anti Christian turn is astounding. The new guys are arrogant, pretentious, but their talent is seriously lacking. I am unsubscribing. Good bye

  • They dismiss Christianity

    But have time for any crackpot thought coming down the pike, like astrology.

  • New Host

    I was so sad to hear of Ben and Aaron moving on from MU. I absolutely loved their vibe together, and change can be hard when something feels familiar and comforting. I have to admit, though, I’m really enjoying the new host. I was nervous at first, but their connection, perspective, and thoughtful approach have completely won me over. It feels fresh while still honoring what made this podcast special in the first place. I’m genuinely excited to keep listening. I look forward to this new era 🩷
