Customer Reviews
So so good! Creative scary exhilarating.
Captivating from the first sentence. Iāve been pod-scrolling for hours. So glad I found you. Creative and exciting to listen to. Thanks for making this! Perfect for the season.
Great pod with room to grow
Love this! Some really fantastic stories. Black female horror means a lot to me and ecstatic to find it here. Iām sure it will become better and better as it gains more support and resources as well.
I will say the only issue that really stands out for me is a quirk of the soundscaping: eating sound effects. The grand majority of people donāt want to hear mouth / spit sloshing sounds , which is why podcasts, radio, television, and film all basically never include them. I had to close out the first episode because it was so filled with them. It seems like a small thing but itās part of a larger important piece of soundscaping which is only including sounds which add to either narrative understanding or tonal enhancement. Chewing sounds donāt do those things and they make it harder for the average person for enjoy. No hate to the soundsscaper though, overall the soundscape is great
Love all the cool black authors and performers theyāve brought in. Looking forward to more
so so so good !!
every story is so scary whether or not there's a happy end! each episode is extremely well-produced; great sound engineering, strong plots, and you care who the l characters + want to keep listening to find out what happens! we love to see it !! my fave used to be ogali + cooking with my sister but one drop / flash fiction 7 might be my new favorite!
