“Good stories and narration. The only slight downside is the host sometimes get's preachy. I'm here for the horror. Not a lecture or a window into the hosts personal beliefs.”Read full review »

“This episode. Listen to it all the way through.
The exhaustion felt by the host mirrors my exhaustion.
My best friend, my grandma, and thousands I never met will be on my mind for the rest of my life because of the pandemic we are still recovering from.”

“In a way some are tales are gentle and horrific at he same time . I love how unique each story is on this podcast. Cool revenge with some others oops you took a wrong turn. My only wish was the stories be longer. As a woman I especially find these tales of horror satisfying. Hear a few and...”Read full review »

“People listen to horror stories to escape reality, not to hear a pretentious host moralize about George Floyd, capitalism, or the patriarchy. It’s gotten so bad that the horror stories seem to just be incidental to his condescending lectures. A real d-bag. In a world with 10,000 horror podcasts,...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a listener for many years. The tales, talent, and hosts have been my companions in dark hours and dark corners from coast to coast. I love the atmosphere and Alister’s sincerity gives a genuine sense that we are actually all in it together. Perhaps a decoder ring is in order?”

“I am giving this podcast 5 stars despite the fact that there are many stories here that I’m not a fan of. But the writing is way above most scary podcasts. My tastes go toward spooky stories with more psychological scares than graphic ones. The spooky, eerie stories on this show are excellent. I...”Read full review »

“Mathematically speaking, you can’t succeed every time. And yet, Pseudopod does. A variety of stories, yet each a horror in its own way, with context to help hammer home the fear. I don’t know how they do it, but I hope they keep going for a long, long time.”

“The stories are great and well-produced. However, the blatant Leftist commentary ruins the podcast—unless that’s intended to increase the horror. The United States is divided enough already. We don’t need more vitriol from either side spewing their propaganda. Issues aren’t always black and...”Read full review »
