  • Scary & Interesting & Educative!

    I love love this podcast! The stories are super interesting and I learn so much looking up the topics. I’ve learned so much in the last year and am still learning with every podcast. Adrian keeps it fresh and scary and yes, I’ve had to come back to episodes the next day during the day so I’m not scared to listen to it. Definitely recommend!
