This is one of the best high strangeness pods around. I’d like to hear more about guest experiences instead of the host frequently bringing things back to himself. Please keep questioning deeper into guest experience details instead of relating it back to you. Makes it seem like you’re just waiting for them to stop so that you can talk about yourself and your own experiences.
I’m embarrassed to say as a “paranerd” that I’ve only just discovered this podcast recently. I’ve been listening to the catalog for two weeks now and enjoy the depth of intellect and research Tim displays. I also appreciate the delicacy and empathy he shows in interviews and especially in his interaction with Alison. I truly enjoy this pod. Keep goin, Tim! Awesome stuff!
Updating my review to 25 stars after hearing that Tim has yet another podcast on the way…pull the thread, follow your Bliss, enter the maze and discover The Other!!
Imagine that, someone who actually gets out, investigates, talks to people and is genuine in every way. Tim’s a great, author, musician, artist and now podcaster...good stuff here. Subscribe. Listen. Review. Thank Me
the show is great. The songs at the end are a crime against humanity that must be exiled post defenestration tout suite.
We’re OG listeners since the first episode
This show continues to be among the finest without a doubt!

Thank you so much for making this show happen over the years

This program concentrates on high-strangeness storytelling, folklore, and paranormal investigation, blending witness interviews, historical context, and on-site exploration. Episodes frequently center on cryptids, hauntings, folklore trails, and esoteric practices, with a strong emphasis on personal testimony and practical investigation notes. A standout aspect is the mix of rigorous questioning with immersive field reporting, spacious discussions of folklore across cultures, and occasional cross-podcast collaborations and patron-supported content that deepens the exploration of fringe topics.
