  • Gosh I used to love this show, listened to 2 episodes today and it doesn't feel like you are enjoying the podcast anymore. The movie review of haunted Aslyum, ya can't really review a movie if you have skipped 30 minutes of it and then also to say you didn't feel the story was fleshed out enough is a bit much when you admit to not having watched some of it.

  • Crumlin jail ep - no warning on pet death

    I have been listening for a long time. I put up with the ads cause I get the content for free, today has given me pause however - as the episode features pet death with no warning. I will be taking a break.
