I love this podcast. The hosts both have pleasant voices that I enjoy listening to. I also really enjoy the familial dynamic between this brother-sister duo, it adds something cozy to topics that could otherwise be dark. Will is a skeptic without being a jerk about it and Kristen has an affinity for the supernatural that adds an interesting dimension to the conversation that keeps it from being a boring string of agreements. All in all, a top podcast for lovers of the weird, dark, horror movies, or folklore. 5 stars!
