TALIA OPPSCATE ,

Great Podcast and so exciting

I think the acted interludes bring the story-telling to life and make it really entertaining like listening to a play. There are loads of dry robotic-sounding myth telling on YouTube if you don’t like the scenes being acted out.
Well done! Great work and such fun to listen to.

Great podcast but the acted sections are a bit cringy

I love the researched material and the narrator but the acted interludes really detract from the authentic feel of the overall podcast

Steetwise ,

LogiTec??

LogiTec commercials? - who do Parcast think their audience is?? Business moguls? IT guru’s? Parcast used to be the best pod network out there, with the greatest production and most varied content, but since they were purchased by Spotify the quality has plunged, all the informative shows have been cancelled; replaced by nonsense, giggling hosts, with content aimed at pre-teens and idiots...yet they still think LogiTec is an appropriate advertiser?!?? Bizarre. I’m slowly unsubscribing from all Parcast shows. Such a shame.
