It’s like nothing I’ve ever heard before

“I wasn’t sure what to expect the first time I heard this podcast, I was hoping for some weird satire of the church or religion in general based on the ads (which I heard while listening to Last Pod Cast On The Left) but I was woefully unprepared for the width and depth of the hole these stories were about to rip into me.
The format of beginning and ending each episode with a sermon is a real treat. As some one who attended catholic school for most of my child hood, the tone (mostly), air of reverence and mixture of abstract ideas being presented as facts and rules to live by really strikes a chord. It’s like a nightmare carnival version of Sunday school.
The Story can turn the most Innocuous subject in to something soul crushing and utterly dread inducing.
Although there are many really completely out-there episodes, it doesn’t rely on cheap tricks to get a rise out of the listener or use forced wackiness for the sake of wackiness, each story hits a nerve hidden deep within you and makes a terrible connection there. These stories will wake you up in a cold sweat, realizing just how insignificant and futile life is though we still cling to our greasy existence with bloodied fingers, or remind you that the face of a friend may hide something deeper and unknown beneath.
These stories peel back the fragile facade of “normal” life and explores the deepest and darkest parts of the human psyche. Freakish and horrid situations are presented as normal matter-of-fact daily activities which makes them all the more terrifying.
Over all 10/10 for its ability to go from utterly horrific, with out having to resort to jump scares or tired cliches to side splitting out-there and ridiculous humor (I’m looking at you Jackie Zebrowski, ya stink-stink!)
It’s like nothing I’ve ever listened to before, and yet it feels familiar because it dredges up and reminds us of our worst possible selves. Personally I feel like these stories exemplify the most deeply hidden terrors of the human mind, the kind that you, and society has spent all of existence trying to bury.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“I just started listening to this podcast a little over a month ago, and I really like it! I wanted something different from a traditional storytelling podcast, and also something spooky and this was exactly what I was looking for. Praise the story!”

“I enjoy creepy, strange, and unsettling podcasts, but I have a hard limit of two feces references per episode, and this show never fails to surpass that. I really liked the first few episodes, but I lost interest when every episode after that focused on eating, throwing, and collecting feces. The...”Read full review »
