(It feels weird critiquing to a podcast now that I'm also a podcaster and fully aware that anything I criticize the hosts for I'm probably guilty of myself)
A comedy podcast reading through and poking fun at old creepypastas, of the 1 permanent host and a rotating cast of guest hosts variety. The concept of this podcast was immediately appealing to me as someone who, like a lot of people who were children during a very specific era of the internet, went through a brief creepypasta phase, and in that sense this podcast was a fun nostalgia trip. It's funny going to back to stories that somehow scared me as a child and seeing just how clichéd and clearly written by a 14 year old almost all of them are. It's also fascinating to experience the seemingly endless supply of creepypastas written about any media property that children on the internet have ever been in to, regardless of how detached said properties may be from anything remotely scary.
Beyond the premise though sadly a lot of the host's humour just didn't click for me personally. There's also generally not too much discussion beyond reading through the stories and stopping to laugh at the clichés and bad grammar, and occasionally I felt sometimes the hosts crossed a little too far into angry-youtube-reviewer style nitpicking and being critical just for the sake of being critical.
