WHAT IN SAM HILL
fascinating deep dive in to the dibvoc box ebay listing.
Is there any way to listen to Unexplained without commercials? I pay for the full Castbox App but still get ads. Is there a platform that is ad free? (With subscription)
let's start this episode 🌚
As usual, incredible and left wondering how much we don't understand in the world.
Why does this dude talk like he's singing a nursery rhyme?
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE
incredible episode. Telling your friend an angel said you have to bang his wife is amazing
used to love this post cast until adds come about absolutely ruins the flow
excellent, factual and very interesting. Always captivating. thank you.
Germany...started both world wars and trying their best to start a third
Please consider a few more commercials in your otherwise eerie tales. Nothing jars a listener out of their contemplation better than another ad break! Your approaching US AM radio level. I honestly don’t want to listen anymore.
this podcast has more ads than any other pod ive heard
I'm still waiting for the underground sex cult of Scientology to be exposed. These founders were into some freak nasty shit and Hubbard was known for his wild stories so I can only imagine the type of creative nastiness that went on behind closed doors lol
I find it oddly hilarious that the group of free love "do as you will" people freak out when their significant other sleeps with someone else or does sex magic with someone else 😂 I think open relationships are so gross, people who argue against this say that it's more "natural" for people to engage in sexual activity with more than one partner but i disagree. We're animals yes and we have animalistic tendencies but we've also evolved to a much higher realm than basic animal urges TBC...
Oh good, more racist news commercials to start the pod cast off with lol
So...I heard the comment at minute 35:36 and as a white person I can attest that no, I do not feel comfortable by anything I hear from the "white people news." It's all made to mislead and misdirect to keep EVERYONE'S attention elsewhere, it's why I don't watch news of any kind anymore. What the actual fuck. I guess enjoy your racist news on whatever pod cast this was advertising for?
getting on for 50% podcast and 50% ads...
You get a heart because you pronounced Samhain correctly 👍
Love the show and I understand the need to generate revenue from the content created but 2 minutes of ads at the start, 2 minutes a third in, 2 minutes 2/3rds through and 2 minutes at the end has made this show near unbearable to listen to now. And so I won't. Thanks for the years of entertainment and I hope it can return to the great show it once was.
