Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
I’ve been a long time follower of these people. They used to be “my tea ladies” with the best tea and coffee substitutes. Not to mention my favorite “hot chocolate” herbal mix.
Once the pandemic hit things were up in the air and they made this podcast and I’ve enjoyed it from the beginning. They are all funny, smart, and genuine. I’ve learned and laughed so much over the years. These ladies (plus Fact Check Jake) really brighten my week with their content. I even joined the Patreon to get all the fun extras.
Now that being said noone is for everyone.
But if you like magic, mythology, pop culture, philosophy, funny banter, and fun facts …these people and this show is for you.
Favorite Witchy Podcast
I love this little fam with amazing chemistry. They never fail to make me laugh and see things from different perspectives; a genuinely great group of people 🫶
My 90s Childhood Halloween Nostalgia All Year Round
I don’t really know how this podcast popped up on my Instagram algorithm one day (and then never again), but man, I am SO glad that it did!! I’ve always had a fascination and love for all things “Spooky Season”, 80s/90s nostalgia, movie facts, and mythology/lore, but I’m also a massive scaredy-cat. Halloween is my favorite time of the year, but the scariest movie I can watch is literally Hocus Pocus so I feel like I’ve always missed out on fully embracing the spooky spirit.
And OHMYGOSH this podcast could not be more perfect for someone like me!!! I’ve now been able to enjoy and know the plots of all the cult classics
