Customer Reviews
Creepy creepy
This podcast sets a MOOD. I was able to put it on while doing other stuff and still follow the story cuz it sets the vibe so perfectly. The storytelling is funny and dark and deep, but its also just a really good story! So good.
Juicy storytelling, velvety voices
The storytelling, the narrator, all of it is divine. It’s the right amount of skin crawling creepy mixed with great interview detective work that leaves you wanting more. The description of nyc apartment living is nostalgic and hilarious in an inside-joke-with-dear-friends-kind-of-experience.
