What a brilliant episode I would love to think he was alive but am sorry for his family not knowing if it’s true, well done for a great episode
This is my first review, I absolutely love this podcast. If you love anything weird, interesting & gets your mind thinking, then I would 100% recommend. I’ve been listening for a while now and glad you’re still going!
I have loved this season. The content is well researched and unusual. Last meals and Doppelgängers was completely inspired. I always loved Arthur C Clarke. This reminds me of the variety he would present.
Thanks for the work, it’s the highlight if my week.
I’ve generally struggled to get into a lot of podcasts but this one genuinely has me hooked.
I’ve read quite a few weird stories over the years and watch a lot of True Crime docs, but for the most part this podcast covers stuff I’ve never heard before.
Each episode is really well put together and I can’t wait to hear them all (currently working my way through them. I’m on episode 20!).
Keep up the amazing work!
Just when your part of my podcast routine, brilliant

Listeners are drawn to a mix of true crime, unsolved mysteries, and quirky, supernatural-tinged stories. Episodes frequently center on infamous cases, puzzling historical enigmas, and odd coincidences, often framed with careful research and a storytelling style that balances eerie intrigue with respectful handling of sensitive topics. A standout trait is the host's energetic delivery and knack for linking disparate oddities into cohesive narratives, making it appealing for fans of creepy curiosities and meticulous storytelling. The show's niche focus on the bizarre and the unexplained, paired with accessible insights, makes it a strong fit for audiences seeking engaging, mood-setting deep dives rather than quick-hit true crime plots.
