  • Enjoyable, Easy to Listen to TC podcast.

    I really enjoy listening to this podcast. They release episodes pretty often so I always have something to listen to at work. Ben has a good voice for podcasting. Some podcasters can be very monotone but I don’t find that with this podcast. Nicole helps keep the episodes light and not as heavy. When I listen, I feel like I’m listening to two close friends. Give this one a try, you’ll probably be glad that you did.

    Wicked and Grim was being advertised on my local radio a year ago when that station was making a morning show change. I wasn’t crazy about the new talent, so I started listening to Ben & Nicole and was instantly hooked.

Their talent for storytelling is descriptive, entertaining, captivating and I appreciate how they try to focus on the victims instead of the perpetrato... more

    I stumbled upon Wicked and Grim when I found the story about Corpsewood Manor. This is a really interesting story and Ben tells it so well. While you listen, Nicole pops in to say exactly what you are thinking in the most sincere and hilarious way. I love these two story tellers!!

  • Stop Featuring American Stories

    As Canadians you should show America that we don’t need them. Stand up for Canadians and the globalist and boycott American stories. I’m sure there are enough Wicked and Grim happenings in Canada without having to sponge off America. Go Canada!
