  • Way too many ads

    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.

  • What’s happening with the sound quality?

    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

  • Too many ads

    This podcast could be intriguing but there are too many ads to keep me interested. Takes too long to get the story going and then there are the three minute interruptions. I understand you have sponsors but it just does not work for me

  • Great storytelling but irresponsible behaviour being encouraged

    I love Kevin from Liverpool. I been listening to him for years and a lot of stuff he said over the years I’m not so much but on a recent episode he had a episode called holy demon this is irresponsible and dangerous of him. He claims to be a catholic but his theology or Catholic. He comes at the cult in a comical way, but though in this show not as much however when it comes to people souls. He doesn’t care about misleading people encouraging them to go into darker stuff. So if you have young ch... more
