“I found this show through You’re Wrong About, which is also amazing. The thoughtful and thorough research Chelsea does on this topic that is so dear to me (MA in American folk studies) entertains, empathizes, and puts a spooky and beautiful spotlight on what our culture cares about. Chelsea’s...”Read full review »

“I want to love this podcast so much. I love the content and what topics are covered, but I can’t listen. The way the host speaks (I guess it’s her cadence?) is so off putting and irritating to me. It’s extra frustrating because I’ve heard her on You’re Wrong About and she was speaking totally...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast, it is entertaining but you can tell Chelsea does her research too… my only note is that I wish she would stop saying “committed suicide.” It isn’t a crime you commit - died by suicide is better.”

“The topics seemed interesting but it wasn’t long before I picked up on the very odd cadence of speaking. Hoping to give it a chance, I scrubbed through numerous episodes hoping it was just one or two awkward recordings. Unfortunately it was not. It makes listening so unbearable that having to...”Read full review »

“STOP TALKING LIKE THAT!!!!! i want to so very badly listen because i am intrigued but i genuinely cannot stand the way she’s talking. it’s so cringe & makes it all seem so goofy. pls you’d get more listeners if you’d just speak normally. put the script down and just speak”

“Every episode is content I would LOVE to enjoy. But Chelsey speaks in an awkward stilt that renders it unlistenable— a theatrical affectation that alienates the audience. I tried listening on a faster speed, but that didn’t change the distracting delivery. I love to listen when there’s a guest to...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years- this show is the one I didn’t know I needed. Production value is super high. Topics are fascinating. Host has one of the best radio voices in the biz/radio.
In someways a sequel to coast to coast- way less creepy and actually factual.”

“This show is phenomenal. So well-researched, thought-provoking, often funny and scary and strange all at once. I’ve listened to every episode more than once (except the last ones that are a little too on-the-nose in terms of my irrational fears). Chelsea’s cadence has never bothered me - in fact,...”Read full review »

“The content is so interesting to me, but it’s not worth it to suffer through the host’s atrocious delivery and speech patterns. Not only does it sound like she’s reading word-for-word from a script, but it’s as though she’s doing a caricature of newscaster. Absolutely unlistenable, which is such...”Read full review »

“I keep returning to this podcast to try again, as I love the topics. But narrator’s/host’s reading of the episodes is unlistenable, even at 1.25 or 1.5. I don’t understand her intonation. It’s all I can focus on when listening :-(”
