  • Almost there but AWESOME!!!!

    LOVE the topics, stories, narration, cadence... 8mins of yammer in the intro not relevant to the story isn't necessary. All the rest? Perfect!

  • Well researched programme

    This podcast is excellent. Sarah is great at uncovering intriguing stories and scripting the programme to keep it pacey and engaging. I listen to a lot of podcasts and I don’t know how you manage to find so many stories that I haven’t heard before. The mother- son dynamic is unique too. Am I the only one who mutters out loud ‘yes I am’ in Toby voice when he is unable to join the podcast?

  • Adorable meets Spooky

    I love this! The host is a Mom who often includes her teenage son on many of the episode. They both have nice soothing voices and beautiful accents that match their personalities. It casts a wide net over the para/supernatural stories. Bringing us scary but in a comfortable, sweet way.
