Background
editTate prefers using as few sound effects and music as possible and instead focus on the storytelling.[2] Tate reads roughly six stories in each episode, which are about one hour in length.[3] The show tells true horror stories written by people who have experienced unwanted encounters.[4][5] The show has released over 280 episodes over the course of twelve seasons.[6]
Reception
editThe show was a finalist in the 2019 Discover Pods awards.[7] Podcast Magazine ranked the show as number twenty-five on their list of the best horror and crime podcasts.[8] Anthony D. Herrera of The A.V. Club commented on the show saying that "there is some variation in the quality of the writing ... [but] the authenticity always shines through."[9] Madeline Wahl of Reader's Digest praised the show saying that the listener will "be hooked (and a little jumpy) after listening to just one episode."[10] Emily Stein of CrimeReads praised the show's host saying that "Tate does an excellent job of convincingly taking on the voice of each writer."[11] Nicky Idika of PopBuzz commented on the show saying that the show "will have you thinking carefully about every interaction you have from now on."[12] Kayla Osborne of The Camden-Narellan Advertiser commented on the show saying that the "podcast is the equivalent of the hair on the back of your neck standing up."[13]
