  • Addictive…

    This has quickly become a quick favourite of mine. These strange stories and thought provoking explanation I’m addicted. But am I alone in thinking this is recorded at low audio levels compared to other podcasts?

  • Too conversational

    I love true crime. I love odd topics. I love listening to good storytelling. I don’t particularly like listening to two people talk about a story rather than just tell it.
