Fantastic show for all ages! Great podcast to just leave on year round and especially spooky season!

We’ve been listening for years and loving this show. Not long ago intro music was added that quite frankly, I hate. But it was easy to fast fwd through at the beginning of the show. Now it’s ALL through out in between the segments. It literally feels like an obnoxious assault on the ears.

Never a bad show. Something for everyone. Darren is a pleasure.
