  • Rodney’s back!

    OK, technically Rodney didn’t go anywhere. I did. I ran for the hills when the paywall was inserted it but now i’m back and I’m so happy for the return to the original format. I truly miss the gory tales and Rodney’s brilliant storytelling

  • Sound effects

    I really enjoy the stories, I love anything supernatural or otherworldly. But I can’t stand the sound effects played in the background, they take me out of the story.

  • The only fiction podcast I listen to

    This podcast really is fabulous! The stories are fun and engaging, and the host tells them brilliantly! I don’t usually like fiction podcasts, being more a fan of true crime (hey, I’m a middle-aged white lady, what else would you expect?) and history or medicine, but I LOVE this one! I hope there’s an ad-free option soon, I will quite happily throw my money at it!
