Customer Reviews
Just a Thank You…. Lovin’ It….
Love the Show. Am working Both ends to Meet in the Middle. Into 2021 & just listened the latest ‘Patreon’ episode coz you’ve been away. Keep it Going. JW McC from the UK.
Variety is the spice of life 😁
This show covers weird events from around the world from the Men in Black to haunted mansions stopping along the way at Walt Disney. I love the variety.
One host presents the case of the day to the other, with the co-host jumping in as required, becoming the voice of the listener. Both hosts are very likeable and you can feel the relationship between the hosts too. This makes the show an easy listen as they bounce off of each other. I really enjoy it when the hosts make each other laugh. If the host is having fun, the listener is having fun. I also like the hosts putting their own views around the events across.
Overall, an enjoyable and interesting show. If you’ve stumbled across it, give this a try!
Amazing!
LOVE IT!! This podcast is awesome and the hosts keep the stories really interesting with great content. Also they are so natural, that you kinda feel like you are in the room with them, part of the conversation. Subscribe, follow, review and binge.
