I like the podcast

Yes

Zelda Pearl ,

Has Potential

The stories are okay, but your story telling is very monotone. It sounds like you’re just sitting there reading the story for the first time. It would be a lot more intriguing if you put more personality into the story when you’re reading it instead of just reading the whole story in the same tone. It really takes away from the story and doesn’t make for any shock and awe.

Terror Tuesday ,

Good potential

The stories are good.

The sound effects need some improvement—mostly how loud they are compared to the narration. Beware as it could hurt your ears.

Also, I don’t normally mind hearing the narrator breathing, making normal human sounds...but it can be distracting here. His pausing for taking a deep breath or turning the page...it’s not very smooth and distracts from the story.

I think his stories are good and with a little more editing it would be a great podcast
