“What an amazing story and an excellent job covering it. Heard about Odd Ball on Astonishing Legends and just had to hear your version. Thank you for all your hard work , I really enjoyed it!”

“doesn’t really add any info, and as far as the story—it’s done far better by Astonishing Legends podcast. host even mentions a couple times she wasn’t sure if she should even continue this one since theirs was so much better. she should have stuck to that instinct. this one adds nothing.”

“I really enjoyed this podcast and your effort to shed some light on this mystery. It’s good to revisit things like this to bring attention back to it and maybe view it with a new lens. You have an awesome personality as well!
Would love to see an investigation into more mysteries. 5 stars”

“Listen to the Astonishing Legends podcast episodes on this subject instead. They did a deep dive into the Betz sphere and interviewed a family member. Much more interesting than this one.”

“There are two fundamental problems with Odd Ball that for me made it a bad use of time. First, it follows the speculative meanderings of a researcher who does not yet understand the story’s outcome. That’s fine as a method of research, but it’s profoundly inconsiderate of the listener as a form...”Read full review »

“I had listened to Astonishing Legend’s episode on the Sphere, as mentioned in this show. I hopped on this podcast in order to dig even deeper or find new perspectives. Unfortunately, this show wasn’t able to. Not only did it not go as deep as Astonishing Legends did in 3 episodes, but it gave me...”Read full review »

“It’s fun listening to a podcast about your hometown. I’ve learned a lot of new info that I didn’t know before. It’s not a riveting story but it is charming.
The narrator should be more confident in herself! :)
This is a great start for WJCT.”

“It’s pretty apparent that the writer and host listens to a lot of Radiolab and This American Life, because this podcast feels like an amateur attempt to emulate them, almost exactly. The amount of cliche podcast lines is groanworthy.
The editing is a bit... lackluster, with subpar pacing and...”Read full review »

It went around in circles, repeating the same things again and again and adding small (teeny) pieces of information throughout. It felt unnecessarily stretched and over hyped. Presenting itself as more than it...”Read full review »

“Doesn’t muck around too much in paranormal conspiracies — fairly covers all aspects of the Betz sphere, including its likely unremarkable origins. A kooky cast of characters. Good reporting based mostly on original interviews and archival news clips, some of which you can see on the podcast’s...”Read full review »

“This story was really interesting, until the last episode...😳 Not sure what I was expecting out of a story like this, but the last episode felt like filler- a deadline had to be met so they put out what they had...as a listener, it kind of felt like a waste of time, tbh.”

“A story that’s as eerie and amusing as the ball’s mysterious properties. Really a fun ride. Conjures up the same kind of ambiance you get from some of the more interesting/absurd fiction pieces in The New Yorker.
Can’t wait to see if Gerri gets back to you, Lindsey.”

“This is a story about a metal ball, possibly of extraterrestrial descent, possibly not. Host spends almost all of their time researching this “odd ball” and finding out its origin.

“If you’re researching a story... and realize there’s no “there” there... don’t move forward with it. This podcast was 4.5 episodes too long. Could have been summed up in 20 minutes.
