Kundenrezensionen
Spannend, fundiert und wertungsfrei erzählt
Toby Ball erzählt die Geschichte hinter Alienentführungs-Geschichten detailverliebt und wertungsfrei. Die Interviews am Ende der Staffel bereichern Tobys Recherche zusätzlich.
Dank seiner gut recherchierten und wertungsfreien Erzählung ist der Podcast sowohl etwas für Alien-Skeptiker und AkteX Fans als auch für Menschen, die an Alienentführungen glauben.
Tedious
Too rambly/meandering. I feel like they could have summed all of Season 1 up in one hour-long episode. Best guess, that way it won't make top advertisement dollars. By the way, the ads inserted by iTunes were bloody annoying, too.
