Very helpful

I’ve been listening to Brain for a few years now and it’s always interesting how his stories unfold. It’s also a good podcast if you want to know more about American local folklore.

Keep up the good work. We need more sceptical minds like yourself.

Wow, this is a great podcast

I got this podcast recommended through another and wow, honestly it blows my mind. In just a couple episodes I have learnt a wealth of information about each episodes topic that just blows my mind and completely changed my perspective. It doesn’t surprise me that I was so misinformed, as information nowadays is thrown at us from all sides and it’s nearly impossible to weed out all the mis- and disinformation, conjecture and speculation. But Mr. Dunning does an amazing job doing so. I also understand his approach on the paranormal — anecdotal evidence cannot be debunked therefore there’s nothing for him to debunk — but I’ve experienced three incidents myself after my grandmother passed that shook my paradigm and have made me go from a stout disbeliever to at the very least not excluding the possibility of these things existing. However ask me to prove it and I cannot reproduce the events either. So I do fully understand the position Mr. Dunning takes.
