All of it is great! Definitely recommend!

It gives you unbelievable story's and is great for just doing chores and listening to it. I love how they give so much detail. Though I do recommend telling a few scary story's that are like myths that actually came true. Like some stupid teenagers doing stupid stuff and then they see something coming after them that doesn't seem like an animal but seems like someone watching, or following them. But overall it is a great podcast and I love listening to it!!! :D
