  • New-ish to this community

    Started listening about 6 months ago sporadically and when I heard nightmare fuel, I thought it was a completely different podcast that I stumbled upon, which I suppose in a way it is. But my brain didn’t realize it was attached to Scared to Death and so my simple mind was so confused by this until I heard another nightmare fuel while binging StD. Love the show, love the voice (both of you) and the story telling is chefs kiss. Yelling it from the roof tops!

But I think we need to support STD at Spotify now or (sorry Dan!), back on YouTube again just because so many people are sw... more

  • Found you

    Through the podcast lights out I heard you and your description of the podcast you host with your wife sounded right up my alley. I’m still at the very beginning and I love it. Thanks for the fun spin on creepy.
