  • Getting boring now

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning. I knew when he started with Patreon it was going to get longer, but seriously, it is ridiculous now, the length of time we have to listen about being a member and how cheap it is etc. I don’t know what has happened to the editing, but the previous 10+ episodes have constant repeated sentences and haven’t cut what is an obvious retake. And why all the American adverts ? Shouldn’t it be ads for each location?

  • Used to be decent- now a load of old twaddle

    There’s only so much belief, you can suspend.

    These are invented tales, trying to convince us they might be real.

    The unconvincing empathy.

    Reeling off the tales from the U.S. which are always ridiculously overblown.

    Who do you think you are kidding..?

  • Hard to listen to

    Not because of the stories - and I do believe a lot are just stories rather than genuinely true tales - but the narration doesn’t flow. He stops, starts and stutters along and I’m finding it so hard to listen to which is a real shame as I think this could be up there with one of my favourite shows.

    I understand he has a strong accent and is probably trying to make himself understandable to the masses but it’s so off-putting and hard to stay focused as a result. I know he’s real as I’ve heard h... more
