  • Amazing!

    Its probably the best storytelling podcast I’ve ever listened to. Just above and beyond. The last story(The Crate Escape) is so real and good that to me it was better than watching a movie.

  • My opinion.

    I love most of the stories, and the format of the show, with the exception of Glynns contributions. I’m not sure if it’s some kind of impediment, but he’s terrible with annunciation. I find his introduction quips to be an unnecessary annoyance. Otherwise, the show is a lot of fun.
