Fun!

This is a light and enjoyable spooky podcast. I don’t always want something heavy and overly dark. When I do want that, there are lots of other podcasts to check out. Crystals podcast is perfect for my daughter and I when we are in the car, which is primarily where I listen. I do not think the audio is poor. Her background music is fantastic! I also think that there are podcasts for all tastes. For those who think this podcast is not “mature” enough for them, move along. We have choices. I would only say that I wish that episodes were released with regular frequency.

Sophomoric at best

I wanted to love this podcast, as a history and ghost story aficionado it would be right up my alley. But there are a few issues which have me unsubscribing 1)audio quality is quite poor. You don’t have to have a studio or a major budget to make a balanced recording. Plenty of other small podcasters have figured it out, please follow their lead 2) The hosts’ voice and overall contribution to conversations is sophomoric. Honestly, I feel like I’m listening to a tween try to engage. Statements like “history can be boring *giggle*” and bland interview questions just make these segments a waste of everyone’s time. Maybe she is a 13 year old putting these together in her bedroom, in which case You’re Doing Great Kid. But I’m still unsubscribing.
