“This podcast is so unique in style and storytelling. A truly immersive experience that brings you in to the world of the weird…. and then brings you back to reflect on how strange and beautiful reality already is. The irregular uploads are always worth the wait.”

“A bit spooky, very soothing, and much poetic. I love fantasy, cryptids, and mockumentaries, so this show hits all the sweet spots. The audio quality and voice-acting is just exquisite.
Bonus: no loud, obnoxious, world-breaking ads in the show. It’s my pet peeve, even though I understand why...”Read full review »
