In frustration, I literally almost threw my damn phone. I wanted to listen to the podcast, but the increasing usage of the phrase “dear listener” started to grate on my nerves like sandpaper on Parmesan. Jesus Christ. We get it, you’re Canadian and “excessively polite.” There is a difference between polite and endearing and just straight up annoying. Also, I think the host’s intentions would be better suited to a movie or show rather than a podcast; the elaborate, fantastical scenes the narrator described were unnecessary at best, and downright confusing at their worst. Why is a musician crawling through a window? A fed guy is rocking on the guitar? Oh, I get it - you’re imagining the ragtag team of ATTS as a band playing together. Whilst this would work in the visual form, it was annoying and difficult to follow for a non-fiction podcast.

Love the content but I cannot listen to him. Didn’t get through first episode

The host sounds robotic and makes the podcast difficult to enjoy. I am available to host as just about anyone would be better than listening to this person. Good information,, but bad voice. The information deserves 5 stars. The host alone brings my review down to 3 stars. The profanity doesn’t make listening bad or add value.

I hate this dude 😂😂😂 definitely five stars and need to find his earlier work.

I luv aliens, I consider myself a skeptic but my rational brain acknowledges the great possibility of life in the universe. I say this because I want you to know I WANTED to like this podcast, I gently tried, but the narrators inflections sounded like a bad Shatner impression. I would have preferred this story to have been told by someone…anyone else.

Nothing new and narrator pauses too often and not in places that add to narration.

Came to hate on the cringy “dear listener” that is said about every 5 minutes but it looks like everyone else beat me to it. It is good content but the “dear listener” thing is a constant source of annoyance and so unnecessary.

The content seems interesting. I just can’t get over the way the host talks. It’s very robotic and difficult to stay engage. And please drop the “dear listener,” it’s annoying and doesn’t add any value. Please either get a new host or lose the robotic cadence.

This was a really fun ride - I’ve followed the topic for some time and still found some new nuggets and loved the presentation. Great layers of humor and humility on top of the subject matter. So much has changed in the last 9 months that it would be amazing to make a season 2!! Please consider!

The overall content is interesting, but it is HARD to listen to with the host’s style. Please stop saying “dear listener.” It’s patronizing. This is the second time I’m trying to get through it because like I stated the content is good. We’ll see if I can get through the rest. I’m surprised he got people to sit through interviews.

Great content and information that’s been put together really well. The host, however, sounds more condescending than objective and takes away from the story. And if he says “dear listener” one more time, my ears are going to start bleeding.

can i marry a podcast? you seem like nice folks. if this is a cult, may i please sign up by using my old apple fingerprint? please forward any and all answers to me@theuniverse. ♥️🙂🌈

This is an interesting podcast in that the subject is compelling, but I spent the first three episodes wondering if this was fictional, dramatic interpretation, or actual facts being reported. I can’t fathom why the narrator talks the way he does. He sounds like an AI. But when you hear him in conversation with his colleagues, he sounds like a normal person. It’s bizarre and distracting. You’re going to need a notebook to understand how any of this info ties together. I still don’t know why the Skinwalker Ranch episode was included. You don’t learn anything at all from it. Now that I think about it, three stars might have been one too many.

dude. the host’s aaron mahnke impression has got to STOP i can’t even absorb what he’s saying. giving it a three because i honestly can’t say if it’s good or bad content because.. he’s talking..like.. this ..the whole ….time.

I like this podcast a lot. The one thing that I can’t get past is how the host keeps saying “dear listener”. It’s cheesy, unnecessary and distracting. But I do like the content and research that was done, it’s very interesting.
