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
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.
Been listening to this show for years and it always hits. Glynn Washington is a national treasure.
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.
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
