“They get some great guest on the show which is why I can’t help feel a little disappointed at times. It mainly boils down to the host’s interview skills. So many tangents, most of which become mundane. The host is unable to get the interviews back on track and then they just end without getting...”Read full review »

“This is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Mike and Bob have a variety of guests and topics they cover each week. Their conversations go in depth, much beyond the surface. The only downside is that you end up buying more books after they interview an author.”

“This podcast is about the supremely awkward hosts flexing their cringe leftist politics, thinking it'll get them social currency and "in" with the guests. It's embarrassing. However, it does have some merit in that it tells me authors to avoid supporting at all costs. There were...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a fan of This is Horror for a very long time. Their episodes are great - long interviews with horror legends and newcomers.
I especially like their This is Horror Awards episodes, where we get shorter interviews with the winners of the annual awards.”
