Customer Reviews
My new favorite podcast
After living in the Asheville area for 8 years(I’m originally from Maryland) I wanted to dive in to the folklore and spooky history of North and South Carolina. This podcast is perfect for that. I love the personalities of the hosts, they make the show so much fun. I greatly appreciate all the research they do for each episode. This show is amazing!
Great
Great listening
Entertaining & Informative
I only recently found this podcast and have been happily hooked since the first episode. I’m currently binging my way through their library and I can’t believe that I haven't heard of them sooner. I rarely rate a podcast, but this one deserves it. I love how much research and thought goes into the telling of each odd tale, and how the added commentary from both hosts bringing in their unique perspectives and personalities makes the stories feel alive. I also appreciate that they come into the tales with fun open mindedness while also casting a critical eye on each element of the stories to help discern fact from fiction. As a listener, it feels like I’m sitting around a campfire listening to spooky and odd stories from two people who are both knowledgeable and entertainingly down to earth. Who could ask for more from a podcast?
