“Love the podcast, the only thing I don’t like are all the commercials. There are so many for a 30-40 minute podcast. Wish there were fewer.”

“This is a serious podcast with a variety of
Interesting stories in their diversity minus the inane chit chat and humorous banter you get on other podcasts.
I highly recommend this podcast to serious listeners of the paranormal”

“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.”

I don’t know why you’re getting the negative reviews you have gotten but I have to disagree with them. You are well spoken and your podcast is actually really incredible. 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…”

Also, the frequent...”Read full review »

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.”

Having someone proofread and/or listen before recording would do...”Read full review »
