“I love the stories this podcast puts together, I think the information is great and gives some good insight…. However, for starters the main speaker often mispronounces things REALLY bad and just moves past it so it will catch you off guard, my favorite was how she said “pat-rein” or “pattern”....”Read full review »

“I love the stories. They are unique and interesting. The host needs a public speaking and grammar class. It sounds like crappy AI is narrating. The pitch of her voice never changes to reflect what is being narrated. Drives me crazy. I’ve tried listening multiple times in hopes she will improve.”

“I love this podcast, just a few things that keep me off a bit are the mispronunciations and some grammar mistakes, a lot of them involving the word “due” such as “due to because it was…” and so on.
Other than that, awesome. Love the stories, the diction is clear and easy to understand.”

“I don’t want to be a negative Nancy here so I’ll start with the pros: the stories are very interesting, filled with facts and the show is well produced. Now the cons: (I hope this can serve the host for her own professional podcast development and I hope it’s not taken as a bash or hate) the...”Read full review »

“I have tried several episodes, but sadly this podcast is not for me.
This host needs a course in grammar.
This may not be troublesome to some, for me it is too distracting.
I’m disappointed.”

Interesting stories in their diversity minus the inane chit chat and humorous banter you get on other podcasts.

“The content of the podcast is interesting, which keeps me coming back. However, the misuse of certain words, grammar mistakes, and mispronunciations of common words make this podcast difficult to listen to at times. I just finished the episode on “Serial Killers Who Were Never Caught” and she...”Read full review »

“The content is interesting. I can get past most grammar problems and an occasional mispronunciation can be overlooked but it’s so frequent that it’s a huge distraction. It should be part of your basic research to learn to pronounce Mr. Spielberg’s name rather than mispronouncing it repeatedly in...”Read full review »

“Too many ads. 30 min pod but multiple ads, annoying. Names pronounced wrong. “Steven Steelberg”? It’s only 11 min eps and there’s multiple ads throughout the show. Kinda annoying. I don’t think the host is from the US so ppl should lay off on the mispronunciations. It’s presumptuous to assume...”Read full review »

“Love the content of these podcasts. However, the narrator speaks with such a bubbly and happy tone, you would think she’s telling fairytales. Just not the right tone/mood for the theme and content.
The constant repetitive ads are very obnoxious as well.”

Much love to you and...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed the content and length of the older shows. They have gotten much shorter and the same commercial plays over and over. I believe the most recent podcast was 25 minutes in length but heard the same commercial 5 times. I get you need sponsors but this is over kill.”

“Like a few others, as much as I love the stories, the hosts grammar is just too bad to overlook.
“Drownd”
“Due to” (repetitavely—just say ‘because’)
“Supposably”
“It is said…” (over and over and over)
I’m trying so hard to support her, but the lack of editing makes it so hard.”

“So much potential with this show as the content is good, but the host’s disregard for proper pronunciation of well-known places and names, as well as a nasally voice sounding robotic make this a tough show to retain in my subscribed-to list. If I’m pruning, this one may be one that quickly goes…”

Through murders, conspiracies and true crime tales she highlights the nexus of science, paranormal and mythology

“This is a very good podcast. Good topics, good research, host has a good voice. My only mark against it is the host’s pronunciations. Some random words I would understand, but there are everyday words that the host mispronounces that are just maddening. If you can look past this give it a go.”
