My favorite

I will say I look forward to each episode and some I’ve heard from when it was on it’s original platform. The host is interesting and engaging, the spooksters are good, just every episode feels like a story. I know one season wasn’t so gray but a bad season of Spooked is better than the best of most podcasts.

A Real Life “Twilight Zone” . . .

Such a magical, mystical, insightful show! From incredible intros (sometimes sinister, sometimes silly, always compelling) to the stunning production -- TEN STARS! Minute one, Spooked had me hiding under the covers. Be afraid, and don't turn out the lights!!

So good!!!

‘Spooked’ is one of my favorite podcasts (and I listen to MANY being an animator working from home:)) The production is flawless, the host is engaging and I enjoy his voice, and the stories are told well. Fabulous editing, sound, music—always a quality listen! Thank you!!!
