My life is deteriorating

I like this podcast! It’s a nice lighter tone to the other podcasts I listen to! It so good! It reminds me of the stories my Apoy told me. Apoy is grandma in tagolog. I love this! My Apoy use to tell my things like this when I was little! About all the freaky stuff back in the 🇵🇭. It just has the same creeptastic vibe to it! Love it! My dad does hate it. Like I let him listen to it, and he said turned it off hahhaah. He doesn’t like the narrator. sorry.

Amazing Podcast /Commercials Not So Much

This is such a amazing podcast! Stories are great and keeps you wanting more. Only issue are the commercials. One sounds loud and cheesy like Krusty the Clown. When you’re deep into a story, one commercial is so abrasive and loud that it doesn’t fit the aesthetic of the show which kinda ruins the vibe of the story. You quickly try to hit 30 secs to get past it. Aside from that, 10/10 great show and stories!
