  • Brilliant

    Great host, interesting content. I don’t know if Heidi Wong writes the scripts herself, if she does she deserves massive credit. Every episode is well presented and structured. The ‘Killers Who Changed A Country’ episode is meaningful. The show keeps getting better.

  • Too many annoyances

    Heidi does this weird thing where she tells a story at a normal level, but then she'll suddenly yell. It's so strange.

    She also uses rage-inducing vocal fry at the end of EVERY sentence, and that I cannot get past.

    Unsubscribed.

  • Great show!

    I don’t even remember how I found this show but I’m so glad I did. I love the deeper stories to horror movies and myths. This show scratches that itch.
