Creepy Lite

Kristen and Will are hilarious! This is the only scary/creepy podcast I can listen to at night before bed and not be up for hours. The subjects are dark but the silliness of the siblings keeps it lite. Thanks for the great podcast. And thanks for not keeping me up all night from fright!

Neat!

Guide to the Unknown is an online podcast about Kristen and Will, who are siblings and best friends who go on adventures and fight monsters. It is VERY SCARY, but I can’t help myself from listening to find out how each cliffhanger is resolved.

My Go To Podcast

Guide to the Unknown is hands down my favorite podcast. The topics are super interesting, the research is top notch, and the banter between Kristen and Will will make you laugh out loud. Their Patreon is also worth every penny. Thanks for making my workdays more bearable!
