  • You asked for it .

    I live in Shanghai, China. This has to be the worst show ever . I listen to it every week and I fail

    To be entertained in any way. The animal uprising is not happening . There is no puberty problem . Canada is not weird . I don’t even think their names are real . Your commentary on the stories are nonsense . I will continue to listen until I feel entertained.

  • A true ‘lol’

    This is the only podcast since CBCs “this is that” that pulls me from the depths of the true crime genre (a welcomed reprieve). The stories and subsequent banter leave me chortling out loud while I lie in bed trying to sleep. Thanks, fellas ❤️

    I adore all things Canadian Gothic. Keep Canada Weird, Encounters with Creeps and all the special episodes Jordan creates are always worth listening to.
