I love this pod but have to listen to it at .75 speed because JWO is the fastest talker. 😅

I was introduced to JW from his appearance on Last Podcast On The Left. His style is very conversational, and lots of fun. Thoroughly entertaining episodes, and the pod has moved very quickly up my favourites list. I’ve now ordered two of his books also, as I think his writing will be right up my...Read full review »

I love this guy’s nonfiction books and website and have been a devoted follower for years now. I love his videos and podcast, because a lot of his prose feels very conversational and while I like his writing a lot, it’s kind of fun to hear him speaking, and he has a good storytelling/podcast...Read full review »

I’m a lover of all things creepy and odd , and he is so fun to listen to! Can’t wait to go see some of the things he talks about!

I just recently started listening to this podcast, and I’m hooked! Each episode makes me want to head out and explore each and every place discussed. Being a New England native, I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t know of most places that are covered in the podcast. But hearing all of the...Read full review »

Love all of this for so many years now, Made me look things up, made me get into the oddities in my own town. Always been awesome!

What's there to say without sounding like a teenage girl at her first concert? Love his voice, love the content, love that they are not too long and have some variety. Some live, some scripted some in the car! And of course who doesn't love odd things? Keep'm coming please!Read full review »

I love J.W. Ocker’s books, I’m a Eddy Poe fangirl, so Poeland is my favorite. I like the OTIS website too, but I don’t have a lot of free time to browse through it as often as I like. Enter the OTIS podcast! Perfect! I can listen while I do my work. Hours of prosaic laundry just flew by as I...Read full review »

I’ve been following Ocker for some years now and have all of his books so I’m really pleased his podcast is so great too. Fascinating, engrossing and fun with his passion and enthusiasm for the strange shining through. I’m in the UK and love exploring our odd places - it’s a dream to go to New...Read full review »

I am a big fan of JW’s work! I happened to find him as he does a lot of Halloween promotions for his OTIS site and celebrates the “season” a few years back. I’ve read his book about Salem and have been a fan ever since. This new venture has been a great extension of his already terrific oddity...Read full review »

I have enjoyed the OTIS website for a while and the books are great. I really am excited for there to now be a podcast it just enhances the storytelling. Hopefully it will be around a long time.

As someone who loves the macabre side of history, the weird, and everything Goth, I can’t get enough of the OTIS podcast. Beautifully written, well researched, often clever and funny but always haunting, each episode takes you off the beaten path to find off-the-radar oddities and explore how...Read full review »

J. W. Ocker has a way with words, and the way he weaves his perspective of odd in relating his personal experiences is like warm comfort food. I love that the show is focused on oddities, but it doesn't try and force an otherwordly frame on the stories. They're just places his been,...Read full review »

A podcast is the perfect extension to Mr. Ocker's writing - he's a born storyteller and his sense of humor makes it shine! If you are into the weird of this world, this is right up your alley!Read full review »

With many podcasts available to choose from. This one is definitely stands out in a good way. Mr. Ocker’s storytelling takes the listener along in his travels. Giving great information and first hand experiences.

Very cool bite-sized podcast. Perfect for the early morning drive to work while the fog still lingers and the sun slowly rises. JW is a great storyteller. Looking forward to checking out some of his books.

I’ve been a big fan of Mr Ocker’s work and oddities for a while now. I’m so glad he’s started a podcast. It’s funny, informative, and inspires road trips.

Huge fan! Love your blog, A Season With the Witch and New England Grimpendium! So freakin’ excited about this podcast!
cwoolard82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/19
As a fan of Ocker’s writing, I’m glad he has started telling his stories this way too. A great listen!

One part Lore, one part Atlas Obscura, one part everyman travelogue/amateur historian, if you’re into things that are odd, sometimes off the beaten path, but always interesting, this is for you.

There are plenty of lousy podcasts out there. This is NOT one of them! Well produced and of high quality this podcast is creepy, funny and highly entertaining! I look forward to hearing what else you have in store. Thank you for keeping it weird!

If his podcasts are half as good as his books, we are all in for a treat.
