Disappointed and Confused.

So I was interested in learning more about Bachelors Grove Cemetery and was excited to see a local podcast.

Whereas I believe that it was well produced and at times funny, my largest complaint is with the information. After listening to the entire podcast the amount of knowledge provided on the cemetery could have fit on a single page of loose leaf paper. Double spaced.

I wish them well.

Grimes sisters cold case

Very poorly done. Quite disrespectful to be laughing during the delivery of such a horrific case.
Looks like maturity isn’t a strong suit of these two.

No. No. No.

I was really excited to listen to a ghost podcast out of Chicago. I was terribly disappointed. Poorly researched, poorly told stories. All the hosts do is cackle about nonsense. The host’s ADD takes away from the story and is annoying beyond words. Cannot focus on the topic at all. Supposed to be about drinks and ghosts. “Hey what are you drinking?” “Wine.” “You?” “Beer.” “Cool. Glad we covered that.” Please. Just. Stop.
