Have been listening for a while. Absolutely prefer Malcom over Otis every time!! Lots of different types of stories, something for everyone. This is perfect for spooky season and a nice change from what I usually listen to.
I really like the creepy music and the narration is awesome. The stories are amazing, my favorite is the 3 part series “ The Patient” But it just isn’t the same without Otis Jiry
Been listening to this podcast since the beginning. Of course, I loved Otis as a narrator, but I also understand that times change. There are still a lot of hardworking folks behind the scenes — including the authors — who deserve a pat on the back for everything they do in the name of keeping us weirdos entertained. Five stars, always!
Sorry have to unfollow, just not the same without Otis, narrator just don’t have that tone to carry this podcast
To the people upset about the Otis Jiry situation, you should go read the details on what happened and why he was let go over on reddit. The guy is unstable and a grifter. instead of leaving a 1 star review and siding with him before hearing the facts. Surprised the podcast tolerated him as long as they did. The new host is killing it.
