  • Cozy vibes

    Love the coziness of this pod, and i especially love Cory’s voice.. probably one of the most soothing voices I’ve ever heard (and that’s coming from someone who listens to a lot of ASMR!). Cory, you could do some amazing ASMR !!💕

  • Always a good time!

    I really enjoy how you guys banter(?) back and forth with each other.

    Informative, fun, but never feels condescending. Great podcast!

  • Meh

    I really wanted to like this pod but it feels just like a conversation between two people who don't seem that interesting. They talk with an authority that doesn't feel earned, and Lane as others have said, its like she phones it in. No synergy. Corey is cool, but Lane is just like "yeah" and doesn't really offer anything and laughs waaaaaay too long at things that aren't funny. The only good pagan pod i have heard is Druidcast or Missing Witches.

  • Wish it were just Corey and guests

    I love Corey! He is so well spoken, well thought and well prepared. Every time Lane talks, though, I cringe. Nearly every sentence is “I don’t know…” and she seemingly puts no time into researching any episode. I wish she respected Corey and the listeners a bit more.
