Top 10 podcast for me and I don’t have to say anything it’s self explanatory.
Originally I was eleven when I started listening now 18 if they hadn’t canned Otis it would still be in my library no offense to Malcolm BW
One of the best out there. Great stories and the narrator, Malcom Blackwood has the most intoxicating quality that draws you in and melts you into the story. I've been listening for a while now and am never disappointed! Well worth your time.
Firing Otis stinks. He was the heart and soul of this one.
It's not that I dislike Malcolm Blackwood, but as long as I've been listening to SSTITD, Otis Jiry has been my favorite narrator. I wish he would come back
