I LOVED this podcast! It was witty, fun, and just a great binge! I highly recommend you give it a try!
The hosts are fun, and some of these stories are absolutely insane. Love the highbrow readings and lowbrow commentary

F ing stupid
& proud of their foolishness
I love Kelly & Katai from Teen Creeps and always enjoy hearing their discussion around works of capital a Art. I’m so glad this is a podcast all its own, because honestly I can’t get enough of their content. Their choices of public domain reads is diverse and interesting. First they kept it creepy, now they’re keeping it cultured. LOVE.
They are so funny and as an added bonus I end up hearing of new authors to read! I have a Sherwood Anderson book from the library now because of their amazing read-through of “The Egg.” I first listened to this because of their episode reading Virginia Woolf and through this heard of their podcast Teen Creeps, which has become my favorite podcast.
Thanks for making this! It was really fun. I knew I would enjoy the roasting of the bad stories, but I was surprised at how delightful it was when the hosts discovered good literature.
Such a great show. Such great chemistry, funny, silly, thoughtful, intelligent, all good!
This show is delightful! Listening to our two hosts get skeeved out by bad plots and stupid twists and then egg each other on never gets old.
Please I wish there was more
The hosts are irritating morons who lack the ability to infer concepts or examine context.
This show is incredible, they have a great dynamic, unique premise, and hilarious commentary.
I just wish there were 50% less F words.
If you’re anything like me, you’re heartbroken and bereft now that this podcast has come to an end. My suggestion for you to salve your aching heart is to head over to Paetreon and search for Teen Creeps. Then become a patron at the $8 level. Not only will you be in the birthplace of Public Domain Theatre, you’ll also get access to hours and hours of sweet, sweet content.
