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
Season one change the way I see podcast five stars amazing unfortunately this show nor any other has ever competed again
Have been listening to this podcast for years now. The storytelling and writing are fantastic and engaging and the topics while centered in horror and true crime are varied which makes each episode unique and interesting. Definitely recommend if you’re in the market for a new show.
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!
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!
