  • Haunting Stories

    Haunting stories so deftly crafted that the scenes play out in your mind as effectively as they would on a screen. Many stories are so chilling that I need to listen to something funny afterwards if I listen after dusk. Highly recommend!

And it’s wonderful to witness Orion as an auditory tour guide, very authentically his knowledgeable compassionate self. I encourage lovers of this podcast to come visit and take an in per... more

    Orion and Zack are amazing storytellers, dedicated to sharing factual history in a delightful manner. You won’t find any annoying chatter here. Every story is a production to get to what you want to hear. Great listen if you love NOLA, enjoy ghost stories, are planning to travel to NOLA, or love quality story telling. I met Orion in September finally, for a VIP tour by car, and the evening did not disappoint! He is the perfect tour guide and gentleman, rising above the cheesy tours on every... more

  • Brilliance

    I always enjoy a little bit of the history from the darker edges, and shadow carriers just such a great job of bringing nervous to life. Season three was a very big highlight for me, not just because I live in New Orleans, but because the writing and production are so great.

    Admittedly, I was initially taken aback by the haunted strip clubs episode. I don’t think I’ve ever given a thought to who might haunt one, but I’m certainly glad I listened to the episode. And did you know there were were... more

As a former tour guide in the city of Savannah,GA and someone looking to move to New Orleans, the telling of tales and creativity put into every episode are perfectly delivered!
