  • Fell off

    Unfollowed because it seems to have become a J Shetty podcast and I’m fed up having to get my phone out to skip it after every DW episode

  • English Majors!

    I love this podcast! I especially like how Branden incorporates poetry into the stories. As an English major and a true poetry nerd, I can appreciate how he blends poetry into the dark and spooky tales. You will never read Robert Frost the same way again after listening to this pod. Looking forward to more!

  • Cool true crime podcast

    I was born eight months after the events that started this podcast, so learning about it this way is interesting! However, I do not believe in the devil or demons!
