  • THE BEST STORY-BASED PODCAST EVER!

    I’ve been an OM’er since 2019, Paula is among the best storytellers of our time. It’s seems she imbues a piece of her soul into each episode, (or as I like to think of it, “A Slice of Schleis”). I’ve struggled to find another podcast that is akin to the magic Paula and Steve bring to Ohio Mysteries, to no avail. Absolutely unparalleled. Thank you both.
