    Awesome Podcast, Not a fan of recent episodes
    Honestly this is one of my long time favorite podcasts, especially since early episodes have little to no ads. I first listened to this podcast with my friend at 10-ish pm and it was amazibg how it draws you into spooky worlds before hitting you with science to make it a little less terrifying. But recent episodes have been not so great. While I've really wanted it to have a FNaF episode, it was actually pretty underwhelming, it didn't discuss some of the horror elements or newer games that drew me to FNaF. Same goes for the Poppy Playtime episode. It felt less like it was actually talking about the game and what makes it so scary people love it, and more like it was an essay on how to enjoy horror games. I also feel like the skibidi toilet episode was unnecessary, but it was funny hearing the host say gen alpha slang. Modern horror is great but I feel like the episodes the show makes on it aren't as great as earlier episodes- or even the backrooms episode (which is my favorite one).

    Jumbies?
    Have you considered looking into Jumbies? My son and I listen to this podcast in the car in the morning and heard you all ask for topics. We read Tracy Baptiste’s book, The Jumbies, recently and think you’d have a lot of material to look into there.

    This may be hard, but could you do an interview with an (official) physic, or someone else with a sort of spiritual connection? I’d love to see this happen! Your pod is amazing. Keep it up, but try not to let so many encores get in the way. I don’t understand he point of the encores. ~ ☁️

    I would say that its a pretty good podcast but like stop with the encores pleas Other than that i think that its really fun and kind of creepy but like in a good way I don’t know about skibidi toilet episode though its kind of out of the ordinary for you guys to do a trend like that I remember someone (i forget who sorry) said that the cover for the skibidi toilet episode was disgusting and creepy and I agree Please do one about the mandela effect its really cool [EDIT] The person sho said that was Shatzi0512
