Yooo

The hosts chemistry is everything!

I wanna start by saying that Adam is a SPECTACULAR master of the ceremony that is this podcast. Devin is hilarious and often goes off the rail (in a great way) but Adam has a genius level of calm that keeps the show on the road. I am mesmerized by their chemistry.

For the same reason that I love other pods, I learn so much from this show. I love how they present information, the sound quality is great and this show is soooo funny. Im addicted. Thanks for a great show!

Entertaining and funny!

Update 2021 - 60 episodes along and Devin and Adam are still giving us great dives into horror topics. I am always amazed each week that they have something new to explore and keep us laughing along the way

Devin and Adam have a vast knowledge about all things spooky and horrifying. And what they don't know, they do the research. They hold my interest and keep me laughing every time. I appreciate Devin's asides on those particular spooky rituals he does not recommend. Keep the episodes coming!
