Customer Reviews
The best!
I’m an American with a ton of Scottish ancestry so I wanted to learn the darker side of a place I’m drawn to. I don’t like the collaboration episodes. Tou can hear the women yawning and the back and forth has nothing to do with anythjng ... however the episodes with stefanie and Shannon are great story tellers and even tho they chit chat back and forth before and after the story, I love it! I could listen to them all day. Their voices are soothing and nice to listen to, and not annoying at all, like other hosts (cough morbid hosts cough) Stefanie is a great story teller. This has turned in to one of my fave podcasts.
Silly and Informative
I redownloaded the Apple podcast app JUST to rate and review this podcast. I love these women and I could listen to them chit chat all day. Normally I wouldn’t care about strangers’ lives but I get such good energy from them. I binged all available episodes in about 2 weeks and I’ve even started relistening. Give it a go. It really is worth it. Occasionally I’ll miss a few things because of the accent or slang I’m not used to as an American but overall, super easy listening. Edinburgh was already on my bucket list but hearing all these creepy stories that take place there have rekindled my desire to visit.
A Wee Review
I was listening to the Sci Guys Loch Ness Monster episode today and decided that I needed more podcasts hosted by Scots in my life. I discovered this pod & lo & behold - the first episode is on the Loch Ness Monster! I love it already - vibes are spot on. A good chunk of each episode seems to be witty banter, which is quite entertaining to me. The rest is a realistic take on (not actually so scary) lore. 10/10 would recommend listening.
