  • Fun podcast.

    Kind of like a more flippant, gen Z version of Lore but just as fun. Actually it’s super entertaining and allows me to while away so many boring hours at work. Also one of my go to Podcasts when I’m cooking. And all the above is from a 53 year old white dude. Totally worth a listen.

  • Love, love, LOVE!!

    I just discovered this podcast and have to say I might be in love. Just the right mix of history, humor, urban legend, culture, horror, boozey-ness and dirty minds that are never wasted. Just wrapping the Tailypo episode from early season 1 and fully support a “Tales of the Tailypo” movie starring Kat Dennings and a Hemsworth having random sex in a river.

  • Love

    I love you guys very much. I’ve been looking for a Myths podcast for a while that’s different from my other favs WTFolklore and Myths and Legends. I definitely appreciate the focus on creatures instead of stories. I’ve really just started listening, so I know it’s a balance too, but I love the Japanese snow woman. I HIGHLY appreciate the Indo stories.

  • Dang, guys

    I thought my immediate conception of the National Park spirit as a CIA agent was a little dark, but you really had me beat. Also, my wife and I still make “but the Pokédex wouldn’t be that dark!” jokes frequently, thanks to your awesome live show. This show is always such a good time. You’re the best!
