  • Too Many Ads

    I love this podcast and have been listening to it for a few years. However lately I’ve noticed an increase in the number of ads during a 30-minute show. Very disruptive. If it continues, I’m afraid I’ll have to stop listening. Please limit the number of ads. Thanks

  • Do your due diligence

    I listened to a lot of the newer episodes and enjoyed them but went back and listened to the one about the orphaned baby. I looked up the story myself and the woman is clearly lying. The baby was a boy and was three years old. The story took place in 1968 not the 1950’s as she claims. Research your guests before you play these stories off as real.

  • Used to be great

    This was my favorite podcast when it was first created, but this past year has been… blah. Mostly reruns and when there is a new episode the story is boring. A weird storm didn’t let someone hula? And this Appalachia series is just not it… RIP Spooked

    Edited to add, I love Glens stories. Did in the beginning and still do now.

  • My podcast ‘comfort food’

    This is my escapist podcast. And I don’t really mind the reruns that occasionally happen. Glynn’s voice is so soothing, and I love his storytelling intros. Please don’t ever stop

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Doves Cry
Q: Can you describe the moment you realized Lily B was communicating with you beyond ordinary behavior?
Sara explains that Lily B's repeated cupping gestures and later vocal signals during writing sessions felt like a deliberate and intelligible form of feedback, which she interpreted as mind-reading or telepathy, supported by six months of patient observation before fully accepting the depth of their connection.
Skagway - Classic
Q: Did you ever feel like, you know, a lot of these girls, like you said in the newspapers, their names were never recorded, they were kind of forgotten in a lot of ways?
Oh, I did. Every day, I did a tour, and I talked about them and what they sacrificed.
Skagway - Classic
Q: Why do you think she appeared to you guys?
I'm guessing why she chose to appear to us was because we were young women.
Boxes
Q: Have you ever been back to The Gearbox since then?
Yes, I went back to perform at a recital, but the house is now probably buried under ash.
Boxes
Q: So how did you feel when you moved out of that house?
Relieved. So happy. I was so happy. Because I lived in a constant state of terror.
