“There are plenty of podcasts today, that offer stories of the weird and eerie, but the consistency of the excellent selections that are here cannot be matched. I’m very lucky that I stumbled across this podcast and I recommend it highly to my friends and family.”

“Tycho remains the hardest working, most lovable human in podcastland. A terrific weird tales writer too. This is amateur podcasting in the best sense, podcasting done for the love of it (Lat. *amare*, to love). I have discovered many stories on this show, and experienced in full others I'd...”Read full review »

“This podcast is made up of high-quality readings of exactly the kinds of short fiction I’m always looking for - ghost stories, weird sci fi, poetic fantasy, and tales of Lovecraftian strangeness. (The selections rarely include body horror, and I appreciate that.)
In addition to short stories,...”Read full review »

“I just need to say though, it does annoy the funk out of me that you continually feel the need to mention that any money goes right back into the show, because like, you’re providing us with a service, and it’s valuable, and you deserve to be compensated for your time and effort. You mentioning...”Read full review »

“You have talent sir! BUT, don’t try to push things politically on people. I understand you are principled and I appreciate that. Mentioning it is one thing. Sometimes, you come across as Self Righteous, though. I can empathize with you about being called prejudice for no reason. You are the last...”Read full review »

“I want to start off by saying that this is a show I always check in on every week to see what’s new. I don’t listen to every episode, but I enjoy the host’s readings quite a lot. I’ve even discovered some new authors and stories through this show that I’ve since grown to love! In that regard I...”Read full review »

“Tycho my man, can I just say what an excellent reader and storyteller you are. I’ve listened to an awful lot of podcasts and your delivery and clarity puts most narrators out there to shame. I’m quite picky (ok, very picky) about quality of diction, but I’ve failed to find fault so far with...”Read full review »

“Weird Tales är en direkt samhällstjänst.
Det är genre som ofta glöms bort och även mindre som läser det i vår tid. Och jag förstår, de är ofta lite gammalmodigt skrivna och inte för alla.
Tycho Alhambra gör ett fantastiskt jobb. Han är inte teatralisk och har en behaglig röst som är lätt att...”Read full review »

“This show really is a hidden gem that I am so happy to have uncovered! I never gave much credit to early writers of horror and I am so embarrassed of that line of thinking now! This podcast as open my mind and changed my entire opinion. Of course I was familiar with Poe, Shelley, and Stoker but I...”Read full review »

“This guy is the best read podcasting story teller on the World Wide Web, short and stunning little tales, or chapter by chapter huge volume stories, old and new, somehow all very fitting, but mostly just very very well presented, I have barely listened to anything else for months. Just brilliant....”Read full review »

“I really, really like this podcast.

It covers a lot of the books that I’ve wanted to read or re-read but never seem to have time...”Read full review »

“The readings are adequate. I’d say better than Libravox but not as good as other podcast readers, so I’m not excited by the reading. Most if it is flat, with little emotion or pacing. The speed of reading is always the same, there is some inflection, but not much to create audible interest....”Read full review »

“Weird tales have been a guilty pleasure of mine for years. This podcast is a mix of tales I have not read for years and things I have never heard of - nostalgia and discovery all wrapped up in one fun package. Tycho reads them with just the right timing, and never taking anything more seriously...”Read full review »

“This is such a great place to listen to poems and short weird fiction, especially from authors who have a dense way of writing that isn’t as fun on paper. The reader has a good reading voice and isn’t either monotone or overdramatic. His selections are really good and varied, with a good mix of...”Read full review »

Tyko (sp) seems like a really cool, down to earth guy in the short intros and extros he adds to the shows. I really look forward to seeing these...”Read full review »
