    Daisy! I almost crashed my truck when I was listening to this episode and heard you mention my wife and I. Meeting you was one of the highlights of the trip! Thanks for the callout! We appreciate you!

    I always learn something new and interesting. Daisy has a dark sense of humor, and frequently makes me chuckle. I also appreciate that she will give a warning when a topic may be particularly gruesome or upsetting. Working my way currently through Season 4

  • Lots of unnecessary swearing, irrelevant remarks, personal opinions and comments which meant to be sarcastic but in fact pretty lame. Lack of a deeper knowledge of the subjects presented, lack of any historical knowledge really. Disaster, avoid, there are lots of good podcasts about strange and unexplained available everywhere.
