  • Not just stories

    The 10/2/26 episode about Goblins absolutely thrilled me! I read the referenced article and I want to know more. So many little people stories in the world! I can’t believe it is mass PTSD. Please.

  • 🫡This new fuel guide venture. ✅🦾👽🤳🏿💕

    To be sure this guide plan is the pivot and natural evolution we been waiting for. You and other world are the gold standard of paranormal pods. We know that we can trust that what ever is said, the person saying it has been vetted by the hosts and that said individual is reporting the facts as they happened regardless of what it may be.

    And yet I also have felt the soul of spooked gosting, (pun intended)

    But this! Full stop 🙌🏾🫶🏾this friends is the next chapter we needed. Spooked was the o... more

  • Long time listener

    Glynn and his crew are so good at storytelling. I love his mini-stories at the beginning of the episodes. The people interviewed always offer some new experience I haven’t heard on other podcasts. I like how there is no host rumination on their retelling. They let the guest speak and leave it up to us to think about.

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.
