My favorite is the little girl on knock knock road! I prefer old fashioned ghost storiesor haunted houses! I don't care for swearing, I don't find it necessary. I'm listening because I think Rodney has talent and I enjoy Mr. Ballen. I never liked podcasts until Mr. BALLEN. God Bless all with this endeavor.
