  • Worth the listen

    This is such a great resource. I appreciate JJ’s extensive, rooted knowledge and expertise of both texts but also the community of people interested in the paranormal broadly and demonology specifically. I always come away with a more nuanced, grounded understanding of some aspect of demonology. And now JJ’s writing a book! I can’t wait!

  • The show is good

    I do sincerely enjoy this show just as I enjoy JJ as a host, it brings enlightened discussion and is very fun to listen to during long work days. The only hang up I’ve had about the show is occasional strays into halfway moral high horse behavior (which I myself am guilty of too) however it just irks me when we are exploring a world of complete mystery and no factual ground to stand on whilst calling other things laughable or less valuable. I mean for all we know all of this is laughable and non... more
