    I love her!
    I love her podcast she makes me laugh when she has her opinions. It’s sad when people complain but she does say you could leave a bad review. I also love her voice actors!
  • jtabrooks
    I can’t with the politics
    Daisy is AWFUL. Completely insufferable. The host interjecting herself and politics for absolutely no reason is unbelievably distracting and annoying. Stories have potential but are brought down by the awful presentation.
  • Concernedlisteners
    Too liberal
    Nobody cares about your political view stick to their story leave it politics and personal opinion about woke issues ! I engage out of your show because a lot of people that watch your shows come from different backgrounds. I’m not happy with that. Too sad me and my friends will have to quit listening to you Dayse
  • CindieM
    One of my favs!
    I adore Daisy’s humor & appreciate the fact that she does her research for each episode. Always look forward to the next one. Thanks Daisy for calling out the stupid, homophobia & racism that is still prevalent. Sign me, just trying to get thru the next 4 years!

    I love the strange!
    This food episode was as amazing as it was sad and disturbing. I loved how well researched this show is and how Daisy finds these stories. I had an eating issue(wanting too much), but not like the poor and disturbed French man, thank gods, and found I had ADHD after testing due to other symptoms. I didn’t know my eating issues were based on my brain chemistry. I was not producing dopamine, over eating and wanting to eat all the time is a symptom. Getting treatment was life changing.

    Too much
    There is way too much interjecting of her personal beliefs that is completely unnecessary. I tried to push through because she is very funny and tells stories well, but it’s honestly about every..single…episode. It’s not just her personal beliefs, she actually attacks others with different viewpoints on a consistent basis. Before you say a thing, I do not disagree with everything she says, there is just a time and place. This is a podcast about strange and unexplained things that have happened, not how much you dislike our president or how white men are racist and misogynistic. If you want to talk all the time of your personal beliefs, then start another podcast about it.

    too much on politics
    she constantly brings up politics and social views. i agree with her on some and disagree on some, that’s not the point. i just don’t want to hear it on a podcast whenever you cant escape those things elsewhere. may be for some people, just not me.

    October 7
    10/7 didn’t happen in a vacuum. You mention what is happening in Gaza (where hostages were found) without speaking about the hostages??? You’re a disgrace to women and the human race. Women raped so badly their pelvis’s were broken but yea talk about the situation in Gaza some more. #bringthemhomenow
  • NeevaansE
    Eh okay
    I liked this up to the point she started pushing her political beliefs on this. I’m here to be entertained not hear to listen to her political views. Unsubscribing.
  • Cold Blooded Lord (she/her)
    Well researched
    Her show is really well researched, and evidently so are her views (I did research myself and found her “woke” views to be very well backed up)
  • Emiline76
    Too many politics
    Interesting and well researched but the hostess continues to insert her personal politics. People are sick of it. Stick to storytelling.
  • Otolith 2000
    Witty and well researched
    Update: I've been listening for a while and like this podcast more now than ever. Knowing all the MAGAs are being little crybabies about the podcast being too "woke" is just the cherry on top. Keep up the good work. I'm new to this podcast, but so far I've really enjoyed what I've heard. She sounds almost like she's explaining an in-depth research paper she wrote, but then throws in some levity and sarcasm just to keep the Listener's attention. I happen to like that style of hosting better than two people loudly guffawing over their own jokes while telling a story about a child who got murdered. Some of them are just so shrill, I stop listening after about 5 minutes. As for political comments.... Well, I haven't heard any, but I'm still new and skipping around, so that hasn't come up yet.

    Love it and it’s Honestly Underrated
    This girl is amazing at telling stories. I love her quirk sense of humor and the random stories she selects.
  • Meh333567
    Perfect Tone
    I love the way you tell stories and your sense of humor (most of all). A very good voice in a sea of voices. Thanks for making my day a little more strange and bright.
  • foxsongs
    Funny funny girl
    So well done. Can’t get enough. Thanks so much
  • lutherophelia
    Love this
    Love listening to this show while I do pretty much anything. Especially loved the episode with Daisy’s son!
  • childish drivel
    Tulsa Massacre
    An excellent episode on one of this country’s many, many hidden atrocities against anyone white men deem as “other.” It couldn’t have been an easy decision. I appreciate and value your bravery and commitment to truth.
  • Bruce the Bat
    Call out the 0range $hi1st@in
    Keep it up Daisy! Imagining the cult members with dried up testosterone, less melanin and even less education, completely enraged and beating up their sister wives after listening to the episode on the orange scr01um of a p*g is nothing less than 0rgasmic pleasure.
  • Carelleth
    Too woke goes broke
    So woke you won’t be able to fall asleep after listening to this garbage. Just tell the story, not your personal trauma. By the way, Trump won. Do that episode.
  • livinloudsince86
    Good stories, bad host.
    Daisy, leaves much to be desired for a story teller. She constantly inserts political commentary, her progressive ideologies, and often victim shaming or belittling the listener for having any views outside her narrow mind. Seems like she’s getting worse with the pandering too. It’s become my guilty pleasure to listen now. Oh yeah, TRUMP 2024!!
  • d_ann22
    How?!
    How does this podcast only have a 4* average? Thank you, Daisy. I love your humor and honesty. Nolite te bastardes carborundum.
  • Persephones6
    My favorite podcast
    This is consistently my favorite podcast every week. Daisy is engaging and hilarious and her takes are researched and skeptical enough that I feel like I’m having a conversation with a friend and not just listening to an urban legend. I love that these podcasts are scripted but not entirely narrated if that makes sense - they have a natural flow and cadence that makes them more conversation than lecture. One thing I do miss is the voice actors. Please bring back Ryan Garcia and Luther Creek!

    Boring Regurgitated Trash
    I was excited about the idea of this podcast until actually listening to it for a while. They take stories that have already been done to death by other podcasts and present them as if they’re the first ever to tell them. It’s like they just plagiarized Lore and Generation Why but with dumber and meaner commentary. It’s so cringe. The host is offputtingly arrogant and annoying and a blatant rip off artist. Just a terrible show.
  • GypsyKell
    You’re No Different….
    I thought I was going to listen to a podcast on Hitler. That’s what YOU promoted the podcast to to be. Even stated you needed an extra week to get things right. It was about Trump. You said Trump WAY more than Hitler. Who’s misleading the public now? Not much different from Hitler or Trump.
  • CatnMax
    Consistently terrific podcast.
    The subjects are always fascinating. Daisy Egan always presents factual content in an engaging way, with a perfectly crafted but never overdone side of snark. Literally never a dull episode and definitely one of the top podcasters today. Miles ahead of the supposed “top” shows.
  • E.Nigma1996699
    Brown shirts
    Wow just wow Really one sided show If you can’t be objective on this then what’s the rest of the episodes like Not worth my time to listen to hype
  • Momomof4KY
    Huh?
    She had me until she called free speech “fascism”. Obviously she needs to research what actual fascism means, and if she doesn’t know those basics I can’t trust the quality of research on her show.
  • Bloomgoblin
    Podcast perfection!
    Great story telling. The respect given to victims while telling their stories is a refreshing spin in the true crime type podcasts. Thanks, Bob!

    2 mcdonalds ads within 20 min, I’m out
    I know about McDonald’s already, the frequency of ads far exceeds the quality of the podcast. Lots of better content out there, unsubscribed forever

    Dont care about your politics
    Don’t care about your poorly informed opinions, or abhorrent intentional political misrepresentations.
  • PlantHoeNerd
    Keep being the fabulous human you are!
    S4Ep21 Was Fabulous!!!! I’ll be sharing it with both of my sons as one is crazy enough to have drank the kool-aid. I really enjoy listening to your fun, sarcastic, sass.
  • Katerina259
    Sorry, Daisy, truly sorry…
    I’ve been an avid listener of this podcast since the very beginning and always appreciated the brilliant storytelling and entertaining content that initially drew me in. However, in recent episodes, the shift towards more divisive and targeted political commentary, has left me deeply disappointed. While I respect differing opinions, the spread of hatred under the guise of a podcast feels like an abuse of the platform’s power. We get it, Daisy, you hate Trump, you hate republicans. Needless to say, it’s with deep regret that I can no longer support / listen to content that undermines trust and integrity. I truly hope the show can return to its former standard of interesting, funny and very engaging content.

  • Cmac2.0
    Very entertaining podcast!!
    I really enjoy this podcast and look forward to it every week. The stories are interesting and Daisy Eagan is delightfully entertaining. The Hitler episode was well researched and fascinating. I’ve shared it. Thank you!
  • Cullen0825
    Don’t want to listen to your politics
    Done listening! Not interested in your political opinions. Should have stuck to the spooky stuff.
  • MidwifeDee
    Love this show!
    I love the stories! I love the snark! Keep up the great work ❤️
  • Andsoitis22
    Love this Show!
    Love Daisy, the writing, the delivery, everything about it. Love love love love love!
  • yvyar do foe try your
    Always a good listen!
    Daisy always delivers with unique and well researched stories - always worth a listen!
  • Dorlie jo
    Interesting and good
    A lot of people are complaining about the hitler/trump episode but I don’t understand why they’re upset. Trumps actual quotes were used so where’s the problem here. Are we all supposed to just pretend he doesn’t say what he says?
  • FatCatNomNom
    Entertaining & Interesting
    Always the first podcast I listen to as on Thursday mornings, the day that they are released!
  • OhioVan
    Thank you!
    So glad you took time to dive into Trump’s fascist rhetoric. It’s much needed right now, and mainstream media is doing a horrible job of calling out him and Vance on it. Now that’s scary!
  • Annie Conti
    Love it!
    Keep it up
  • verlor123
    Love it!
    Thank you for this. I’ve been telling people especially my spouse about the brown shirts and Trump. I can’t describe the feeling when I see a new episode. It takes priority over others. Well written and excellently delivered. I’m still laughing over the Roanoke episode which I know I probably shouldn’t but whatever. Keep it up. Looking forward to next week!
  • Zombie girl82
    Used to enjoy this podcast
    Used to enjoy this podcast and was a listener since day one and had recommended it to many for the original creepy material. Though more and more with the political references, cop bashing and other needless rhetoric it's become less entertaining. If I want to hear someone's political views I'll turn on the news. I listened for the strange and unexplained eerie tales but after 10 minutes of the hitler episode I've decided I will no longer listen. Hate it bc I did enjoy the show but it's just gotten to be a beating to listen to
  • JulieD3
    Great podcast!
    Enjoy all of the weird and spooky stuff, but the best was doing a deep dive comparing trump to hitler. Spot on!!!
  • WickedBeautie
    Was great, now….
    It was great in the first season then got a little political but still gave me my Strange and Unexplained. Now it’s just woke garbage. Not what it set out to be. Sadly I’m done.
  • Recyclopse
    You lost me
    It was cool until the stupid unnecessary episode about how Trump and Hitler are the same. The strange and unexplained stories were cool but I’m gone now. That was just stupid. I wish podcasts not about politics would stop making episodes about politics.
  • Hearthsmart
    Really!?!?
    Well, I was a huge fan and even turned several people onto the podcast. I originally had written a 5 star review but now……you had to become political. An entire rant consisting of skewed opinion and quotes with no references. Your podcast description says “each week we look at a TRUE story”. Sorry, but this Trump/Hitler rhetoric is anything but. If you wanted to do a political episode it should have been on “Trump Derangement Syndrome” which seems to be epidemic these days. Really sad that you chose to go down this road, I will miss the old show but I’m out. I guess the reason for why you decided to do this will always be “strange and unexplained”. Goodbye.
