Kaaattttiiiiieeeeeeeee ,

Love it

Just found this today and I’ve listened to 5 episodes already. Wonderful story telling and a well put together show

Here for the stories

I enjoy listening to the majority of the stories but the vulgar, weird banter of the host gets old along with the music between stories. Tired of having to scrub past that. I’m here for the stories. I’d give it a higher rating except for that.

Great storytelling and production

Well executed podcast that’s interesting and extremely well produced. Seriously, the audio quality and effects mixed with the intriguing, well-told stories are the gold standard. This is a must listen. One issue after listening for a bit: this show is like a sandwich that’s 70% bread… way too much filler
