Customer Reviews
Amazing!
Recently discovered this from ytube. Happy its available here! This is going to be my go-to podcast for work! The stories are amazing! English is my second language, and narrator’s pacing is great to listen too, its not too slow that i’d get bored and not too fast that I’ll miss the some words.
Best Japanese Horror Podcast
I love Asian Horror and this is one of the best I’ve ever listened to. Been a listener for a few years now and it never really loses its appeal even if you listen to it again and again. 🙂
Wow Kowabana!
I really love the segment where you need to finish the story to know the twist on the opening story! I love you Tara! more episodes to come :)
