Customer Reviews
Fascinating topics, easy listening. 👌🏽
I really enjoy The Conspirators podcast. The narrators got a decent voice/friendly persona, & the episodes feature fairly detailed depictions of various intriguing anomalies throughout Earths history (the unexplained stuff).
Although a LOT of podcasts that cover this genre tend to cross over & repeat many well known cases(to the point of beating a dead horse sometimes), there’s been a few on this pod I’d not been too familiar with, or overheard too many times already. I appreciate that.
Keeps me entertained & helps me wind down when I’m having trouble catching zzz at night. Please keep ‘em coming!
~Cheers, from Australia. 🇦🇺
Worth a listen
Very good podcast, I’d highly recommend it
Fascinating & fearful
This is a very good narration - matter of fact - which makes the stories even more horrific. True crime at its best with religious overtones .
