Long time listener

I found this podcast when I was 12 years old. It helped me through a pretty tough time. I could never accurately put into words how much this podcast means to me. I’ve re-listened several times and have a list two pages long of all my favorite stories. Genuinely this is the greatest thing to happen to the horror genre, they’ve re-defined audio horror, and I would like to say a genuine heart-felt *THANK YOU* to everyone who works so hard to make this podcast, and I hope it continues for many years.

Quality has severely declined

This show used to be great and actually creepy, scary, and worth listening to.

Wish the host would just lay off the “acting” as well. And don’t get me started on the wokeness.

Also what’s with forcing stories to fit the terrible themes? It’s just not working. Over the past few years, the stories just don’t even make sense. Abruptly ending with no clear “ending”? I don’t get how these stories are chosen, but they’re horrible. I’m not sure why I bother to keep listening to the newly released episodes. I guess they will just make for good background noise now and are really easy to fall asleep to. Total snooze fest.

Used to be worth it - not so much now

I used to love this podcast. I would pay annually for the no ad version and would eagerly wait for new episodes. Now I don’t see the value, and even the free version - I find myself skipping thru the stories more often than not. I miss the scary stories that would have me so captivated.
