“12 minutes in and I’m still waiting for the story.
A little too much banter back-and-forth for me”

“Always skip the first 15 minutes, it’s nothing but lame banter and commercials. The show is alright some good indie but they hosts are a pretty cringy sometimes with how whitebread they are.”

“I LOVE you guys.
Your research that includes so much history, understanding of topics, rep-ore with guests and each other, humor tempered with compassion—-makes a winner.
And guess what. If I’m not enjoying a topic, I click to another week! People that complain about such things are probably...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening since 2020, I started from the first episode. I have always loved the “Fortean” stuff. They do great and extensive research. I feel like the people complaining about episodes being too long or there being too much info just might not be into those specific topics. I will...”Read full review »

“I can’t believe I wasted an hour on this garbage. These guys cannot get to the point. On mela hole I learned more about fax machines, coast to coast, names of towns bridges and people in Washington. But very little about the actual subject. What a waste!”

“So many self important people leaving reviews saying that their time is so valuable (really?

“Many of the topics sound good, but get buried under the considerable amount of just useless OR repetitive info. Rarely does a topic need more than 2 Parts or 2 Hrs, but that’s what many get. The hosts’ egos have grown along with the show, and their Political views often get thrown in at the...”Read full review »

“Early episodes are great; recent ones rambling and tough to listen to. Overall quality of podcast has declined with increase in the focus on the presenters. Just present the topic and discuss. Far too much random banter and self-fluffing.”

“I decided to stop listening to “true crime” a couple years ago, it’s taken some time to break the habit but astonishing legends has really taught me what intelligent reporting about interesting topics can look like. It’s taken me a few years to understand what “ethical podcasting” could be and...”Read full review »

“Twenty minutes into a one hour and twenty minutes they and instead of starting the topic FINALLY they pull an ad break. It took them twenty seven minutes or over a third of the episode to start. My recommendation is go find some other podcast that respects your time.”

“These guys have great chemistry and do a good job of analyzing the topic. I’ve been a listener for years. My only complaint is that I often have to read the wiki of their topic before listening. They simply don’t tell the story of what they’re talking about is an easy to follow manner. They...”Read full review »

“I used to love this podcast. Their stories like Knights of the Golden Circle were the best. They seem to have gotten away from that type story which is a really a shame. I wish they would return to this way of doing their podcasts but I understand they need to do what’s best for them.”
