“About to give up on this one. I love the narrator’s voice, and the stories are good. But the ads are super loud and jarring, and in strange places. Find myself bracing for the constant jump scares from the loud ads. Too many other good podcasts out there to listen to.”

“Not very satisfying…. :/ Not sure what this podcast is supposed to be? Ideas for stories for other authors to complete? Some kind of weird series? This episode had 4 or 5 unrelated stories without endings, pretty lame if you’re looking for a story With a beginning, a middle, and an END… Guys got...”Read full review »

“These aren’t even stories. It’s 5-6 completely unrelated 2 minute blurbs. No clear separation, and no follow up or ending. Nothing is relating. I’m so disappointed”

“The show itself is great, but it’s only a fraction of the upload. Some other weird show or ads happen for the majority of the show. I’m hoping it’ll go back to just being stories and not 80% ads but I’m reaching my limit. I’ll probably give it a few more weeks and unsubscribe. It really tanks the...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to this podcast for years but recently the repetitive adds have made it unbearable… The most recent episode was 2.5 hours long but 2 hours of it was just some random other podcast! I know the show needs to make money but this is terrible. Very sad about making this review...”Read full review »

“The extra podcast added at the end of each Be Scared episode is odd— it ruins the scary and mysterious tone set by Be Busta. I also don’t remember there being an announcement about this happening, and discovered this extra podcast without warning. This gives me the same emotions I had when I...”Read full review »

“Wonderful stories to help you fall asleep. Perfect length, perfect content. Them something apparently happened to the format. The show ends and some off the wall content that seems like it’s own independent show starts. Reminds me of being a kid in the early 1980s and going to a drive in movie...”Read full review »

“Why is there a second podcast for half the episode that doesn’t appear in the description at all? It feels like you must’ve made a technical error because if someone actually decided to do this on purpose, you deserve everyone to unsubscribe. It’s impossible to listen to!”

“You have a great podcast and a great speaking voice but for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY pleaaaase stop taking breaths in the middle of sentences. I think you think it gives some dramatic flare but it does not!! People who have a story to get out do not take dramatic pauses in the middle...”Read full review »

“I use to love love love this podcast but now Why is the podcast split with something completely unrelated to the stories you tell. It’s a whole other podcast connected to yours? It cuts your podcast in half and I end up having to shut it off because some lady comes on talking about parenting or...”Read full review »

“The podcast it’s self is great but there’s is a production problem. The podcast is extremely low in volume and then the advertisements BLAST in your ear. Difficult to listen when you’re trying to relax. Would be nice if the volume was consistent.”

“What happened to this show? Once upon a time the stories were spooky and interesting. Now it’s more “I might have seen something” or “something bad could’ve happened”. Add to that the super long commercials, and stories abruptly ending and immediately followed by commercials. Sometime the story...”Read full review »

“Used to love this show!! Sadly since you’ve joined wondery the stories aren’t great anymore and they are always much shorter now with ads just killing the podcast. Please bring back the previous quality as it was excellent! The Spark has sadly gone.”

“The new half hour commercials ruin this for me. I don’t want to listen to some guy talk about finance for a half hour at the end of my horror show. Unsubscribing”

“Many of the stories are like diary entries - nothing really scary, often with no conclusion. And with so many ads it just feels like this is a cheap attempt to cash in on the podcast trend. There are so many podcasts that have quality fiction, this one just isn’t worth my time.”

“Recently I’ve noticed that the narrator switched towards the end. Not sure if it’s a collaboration with another podcaster but not liking it. A heads up should be given at the beginning.”

“Your voice is so relaxing and I sleep to your podcast every night. The best episodes by far are “The kin” . The episodes are the perfect length and there is enough to listen to for the rest of my life 😆. Keep it up!”

“But apparently it’s not for me anymore. The long form stories once in awhile can be cool - but it was too much. Now going behind the “oh you have to be a studio whatever member to listen to the ONE story we post this week”. Nope. I don’t care if it’s a free trial. This is not a “need” in my...”Read full review »

I can listen to his story’s but if I do doze off the only down side is the commercials are so loud they wake me up. That is my only complaint other than...”Read full review »

“I have been a fan of Be. Busta for quite some time now, I came over from YouTube and was always astonished by what he put out there. I had listened to a few of his videos at first, but what really hooked me in was the story of the left/right game. Not only has he been able to match that caliber...”Read full review »
