So many emotions it’s hard to say exactly what it is that makes this podcast so great. It’s interesting, it’s not what you think, he is an amazing story teller and more often than not I don’t make it through with out crying.

Run Fool! Is a wonderful retelling of the stories I grew up hearing. Rodney almost brought me to tears and created dread with his story about Black Aggie. I know more about her than most as providing information to college and high school students was part of my job in 1990s. I’m a so glad that...Read full review »

Rodney Barnes is considered a master of the genre for good reason. His pacing and tone are unique, his content naturally makes you want more, and he does it all while making you feel like you’re in the room with him. To those that complain about expletives…yeah…it’s rated Mature/Explicit. If...Read full review »

I’m a huge fan of this series, only complaint is there’s no more shows for me to binge while at work.

I absolutely love this series. It’s by far one of my favorites. Depending on what your fears are, there are definitely stories that can give the chills. Some of the stories pull your thoughts in so many directions. I love the stories that are based on creatures that you have heard of, but don’t...Read full review »

Rodney Barnes is an amazing storyteller! His voice draws you in and is able to hold your attention. Listening to this show with headphones is such a treat. By the end you’re guaranteed to have goosebumps

I enjoyed this but and except, the narrators voice is too low for my old ears.

This is pretty cool cuz it shivers my timbers and this is an epic review
My epic sigma drippy review via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/24
To be honest I always struggle to write podcast reviews. I mostly listen at work or durning my drive so I never remember to do it when I have a break. But the lone pine episodes really got to me, I thought the end was amazing and drove me to stop in my tracks, clock out of work and write a...Read full review »

I love listening to the podcast it’s like listening to a movie with great scary stories by a great story teller💯
Toobooku via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/24
It took me a few episodes to really get into this podcast but now it’s among my favorites. The pace is a little different than what most podcasts go for - it’s a little slower, more like actually listening to someone tell a story. Be open to a bit of a meander here and there. Ultimately it...Read full review »

These are the best written, disturbing, short stories on any platform!! Rodney’s voice just makes it all the better. My favorite by far!
AngieGibson11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/24
Just not for me.
Suedebskillz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/24
Storytelling at its best. I absolutely love it
TinksDizzy via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 04/05/24
Probably the best short story podcast I have found. Well written and narrated, not only scary but each story is unique and always has some bits of wisdom or moral to share. Great Job Rodney!
JoeyVanP via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/24
Absolutely my newest favorite the post few months!!! I literally get anxious having to wait until the next new story!!! Please keep them coming.

My search is complete. I found the best podcast ever!
Longhorn Babe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/24
I was excited to follow and listen to these stories due to Mr. Ballen promoting them. Although the story telling and voice are amazing, I just can’t listen anymore due to the constant profanity and use of God’s name in vein. I never thought Mr. Ballen who has kids would allow such a thing in his...Read full review »

You scare me and memorize me with the way you tell these stories. I just closed my eyes sometimes and just imagine
iHarte via Apple Podcasts · Barbados · 04/02/24
Wow!! So glad I tried this show. Love it!! I immediately devoured every episode. His voice is perfect for this! My only complaint is having to wait 7 days between episodes!!
Nick maid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/24
I love your story’s.. I love your voice.. keep up the awesome work.. your the best
Oct skull via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/24
Sweetest voice out there! Excellent story telling!
Bella&Billie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/24
I really like the stories and the narrator, but sadly I unfollowed this podcast after the first few episodes. If the narrator dislikes white people so much then he probably wouldn’t want me listening to his podcast, so I won’t. Unfortunately for him, the vast majority of podcast consumers are...Read full review »

I am very picky on who reads to me, but I Love the stories and the narration, nevermind the haters’ comments. You have a good voice and tell a good story. Keeps up the great work!
Bluebon77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/24
The narrator’s voice is terrible. Sadly, I can’t even get through an episode as a result.
Kurtmccrohan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/24
I saw a portion of this show on instagram, and decided to give the show a one episode listen. I started in the morning and listened straight through. Binged the entire season in one day. It’s just THAT GOOD! If you’re looking for good stories with an amazing narrator, this is the one.
Graco4wj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/24
Been listening to you since your first episode. Wonderful narration and outstanding stories. Your podcasts are truly beyond words and definitely enjoyable. Looking forward to listening to you for many years to come. THANK YOU !!!!!
Peglia via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/23/24
What a great podcast this is! The narrator has such a smooth and calming voice and he really knows how to tell a tale. Excellent is all I can say!
skairdykat via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/19/24
Between the anti-white racism, poor narrating and profanity the stories are ruined and hard to stomach. I adore Mr. Ballen’s story telling and was really looking forward to this podcast. Very disappointed.
LadySand via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/24
I like to listen to these sorts of podcasts while I fall asleep and this has quickly become my go-to. Fun stories, well-presented. Recommended unreservedly.
tekmo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/24
Reminds me of my favorite high school teacher. He taught by telling stories. Every student in my class raised his or her hand all the time. Participation was amazing and always interesting. And...we learned:) Thank you for this awesome Podcast.
Weight Lifter/Runner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/24
Great stories!! Not another podcast telling the saaaaaame stories ad nauseam! Hooked!
Lisonti via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/24
What more can I say?! I listened to all of these in two days. Can’t wait for more. Perfect blend of lore and the satisfaction of a start to finish story line in each episode. I love it. Not sure what the griping about racism and swearing is, someone even reviewed “ear splitting f bomb” and that...Read full review »

Thank you for getting me through a really slow day at work. Couldn’t stop!
Chadwick Snuffby via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/24
Great narration. Loved the story. However…the story is set in the 80s. The kid could not have “texted 911” as cell phones were not widely available and texting definitely was not a thing. Small gripe.
Liminal Redbull via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
I just listened to the “Dark Watchers” episode and I have literal goose bumps! Well narrated and not for the faint of heart!

Perfect storytelling
cael8976 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 03/04/24
Rodney Barnes has a most creative and horrifying style of storytelling and I am definitely here for it! It is exquisitely done so that the listener is given a false sense of security. You wish to hear it but at the same time are to afraid to. I am only miffed that it ended too soon and I have to...Read full review »

These are entertaining stories with a great storyteller. I like how he blends the stories with his personal anecdotes, the humor woven in and his voice is fantastic.
