My Favorite podcast. Spooky Mama.

I love that her episodes are concise and to the point, and I haven’t heard of a lot of these stories so that’s cool too.

Authentically interesting and entertaining. I love this podcast!

I am on episode 8. The episodes are well researched, she has a great voice and stays on topic. I had hoped to be in love with a new podcast at this point, but it’s just not happening yet. It’s a major turn-off for me when injustices are excused “because of the time”, and that happens here every so often (though not constantly). I would rather her say something like “he was racist, because virtually everyone was at this time,” than “he was arguably racist, though it was a different time”. Acknowledging that our history is fraught with racial injustice is important if you’re going to start a historical podcast. Do better than the racist white-washed US school systems. I am also losing interest in Texas history (most of the stories have been from Texas thus far), but I do see that there are episodes in the future outside of Texas, which is part of the reason I’m going to listen to a few more episodes and see how I feel (the other part is that the host has a great speaking voice and does her research). So waiting to see

Ever hear a story that made you go, “oh my God?” These are them. They’re super interesting pieces of history with just the right amount of sass here and there. I feel like I’m gossiping with a really smart friend. Fantastic. And thank God she doesn’t go off the deep end for twenty minutes with unrelated stuff like they do in some podcasts—that’s a pet peeve of mine.

I love this podcast so much! She’s a great storyteller! Can’t wait to hear more!
