Favourite Podcast

I love this podcast! Each story is quirky and either funny or scary or just bizarre. But brilliant at making you think. Wonderful production, and great acting. I started listening about a year ago, and had to go back to the beginning to catch up on all the episodes.

Riveting

I adore this podcast. The stories gripped me, each one more than the last. The writing, soundscape and acting is all superb. I particularly enjoyed the episodes featuring Louis Kornfeld (his voice inflection is wonderful). Thank you for keeping me company with your stories! I can’t wait for more episodes
