  • Was Brilliantly Done

    This is by far by favorite podcast ever. I seriously can't get enough. Thank you for this!

    UPDATE: I'm so disappointed to hear this has moved to once a month and only reading listener stories. Might as well be like all the other podcasts out there and just read what people write in. What you were doing before was so much better.

    I looked forward to this podcast every week, then every two weeks, now once a month, then once a year for the real stories? So unfortunate to lose your audience this... more

  • New direction bad idea

    This is one of the only shows that does a nicely written tight format spooky story show. The writing is great, the voice reads are top notch. The only thing that is really bad about the show is the listener story format. McLeod is terrible at a cold read, the listener writers are second rate uninteresting. If I want to listen to listener tales I’ll go to one of the dozens of shows that do it infinitely better. If you are going to do listener tales at least re-write them and give them to McL... more

  • Fun for the family

    The acting and writing are so much fun! And then it’s even more of a delight to hear the history and thoughts of both Brian and MacLeod! My 7 year old and I repeatedly listen to episodes. Also, agnostic narwhal, skeptical gecko, and believer beaver are now part of our daily jargon! A truly fun podcast that is cozy and exciting! Definitely a favorite podcast!

  • Too many Repeated Episodes

    Love the show, but is there a reason to have a full month of repeated episodes? I can see taking a break for a week, but a month?
