  • No thanks.

    Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining, and don’t feed me poison cookies and tell me it’s good for me. This is not well written and not good horror. No thanks

  • Not AI

    There are a lot of accusations of Miranda merrick being AI but this podcast has been going since 2019 and I don’t think the voice has changed. Her cadence is “off” because she’s channeling Morticia Addams. That’s all.
