This podcast is great in many ways: fascinating stories, the sound editing is professional quality (music appears always at the right moment, volume…) and I really love the host’s (Sarah) voice and diction (perfect pace and tone), you’re “in” the podcast right away and it’s hard to stop listening :D
I am a Whispering Woods Fanatic. So when I heard Sarah talking about Oscurata,I was so excited.
She did not disappoint.
Sarah has the perfect voice for spinning these scary stories. I highly recommend starting this binge worthy podcast!
