Y’all this podcast is by far one of my favorites. Sara’s voice is so calming and perfect for the stories. I love that it’s a mother and son duo as I’m a boy mom myself. Sara and Toby have great personalities and I’m just here for it. ♥️

Thank you for always giving me something to look forward to listening to when I am up early mornings getting ready for work. I get so excited when new episodes are released. My favorite time to listen is when it’s dark and dreary out. It sets the mood LOL

I had to update my review as I’d accidentally only given 4 ⭐️ Sorry 😮 Nicely narrated & interesting stories & unusual that it’s a mother & son duo - I thought Tobies strong Country brogue was an affect at 1st - it threw me!

Genuine! Well done! Keep up the great work! My wife and I started listening a month ago and we are thoroughly enjoying it. The best grown-up bedtime stories! 😊

Don’t pay no mind to the bad reviews, like Tobie said, they’re clearly written with some kind of twisted affection! If anything I wish the episodes were longer and would never end! Also l, considering you keep the show family friendly I’d say it’s still considerably spooky at times! But I...Read full review »

Personally, I LOVE this podcast. I love the storytelling style & the research you put in to each episode. People will always be critical in some type of way. Please don’t let ANYONE discourage you from continuing your podcast. As Tobie said, “If they don’t like it, don’t listen to it”. And...Read full review »

Discoverd this podcast recently and really like it. I find the stories interesting and Sarah’s tone and pace to be perfect for the telling these kinds of stories. The mother-son aspect of the podcast gives it a warmth that is missing from many other podcasts. Give it listen.

I’ve been listening for quite some time and have been really enjoying your lovely Mother/Son banter and your lyrical accents! I’ve never really heard any English myths, urban ledgends, or mystical, magical ghost stories so I’m learning all sorts of new things! Thanks and keep being awesome!
