Nearly every story is read with the same incorrect past verbs! Almost as if all written by the same person!! Stories are fun but not realistic but the reader, sorry but please read first before going live, so many errors and so hard to listen to
This show is absolutely hands-down best paranormal podcast I have ever heard and I’ve gone through many, many shows. None of them compare to this one. Kevin is excellent at what he does. I will be a loyal listener forever.
I have been listening to this show for over a year now. I enjoy the content, but the ads are just too much. 7-8 minutes worth of ads for a 16-20 minute episode is just overkill. Not everyone can afford a subscription, and it is maddening to not only have ads disrupt the mood, but they are embedded with the host’s voice. Unfortunately, I have to quit the podcast for my sanity.
Why is there piano music playing throughout the pod
So annoying it’s all I could hear
Pointless
Why’s the sound so tinny? All my other podcasts I listen too have perfect sound , but over the padt 6 or so episodes I’ve noticed a big difference. It sounds completely different.,. As if it’s being recorded by phone or something? Another issue is the repetitive style of Every . Single. Episode.
There’s SO much repetition of certain words, and the self pro-mo is just ridiculous , it’s seriously cringe and overkill . I’ve never heard any other podcast beg for patrons as desperately as this one... more
