  • I Doubt It
    Smart, fun, balanced, informative
    I’ve heard the gamut of “paranormal” themed content. If you are tired of just stories with no original thoughts, Cian’s work is the polar opposite. It is thoughtful, very well-researched, and interesting. You will learn new things. It takes examination of the weird to a new level without being stuffy and arrogant. I’m working through the entire back catalog - even the movie and media episodes are a treat. Great work.

    Smashing Podcast - my new fave thing!
    Cian is providing a smashing podcast, learned and funny in equal measure and so very pleasant to listen to, it is my new fave thing and I am tearing through the back catalogue while I have coffee and later when I make dinner, really do check it out, it is enjoyable even if, like me, you’ve been steeped in this stuff since you were a kid lol ;) Well done all around! :)
  • hay wazup man
    One of my favorite paranormal shows
    Cian is an awesome host he has a great voice and is very well spoken. He covers some really interesting topics and clearly puts in the work to effectively research for each episode. I learn so much each episode and it’s always very interesting and well presented.

    I think this is a really great concept for a podcast. I’ve only just started listening, but I’m hooked. It’s so fun!

    Good podcast
    The men on this show are engaging and interesting to listen to; they keep the pace going. The only show that was a bit of a pain to get through was their show about QAnon. These men don’t live in the US nor do they understand the US. I’m not a Q person, but I’ve seen enough of their content and I’ve met enough people that take it seriously that I can say that listening to the QAnon episode could do the novice listener more harm than good. The hosts think that the Q movement is just another silly conspiracy theory; the hosts act intellectually/emotionally baffled by QAnon throughout the show, showcasing just how little of a place of authority they have to speak about QAnon. Knowing the way most tinfoil hat-wearing folks in this world are currently behaving, one would think from this review that I’m some raving, Q supporting lunatic. I’m not. I believe the biggest danger to Q is misunderstanding it. They seem to only get stronger and more influential the more they are misunderstood: dangerous. This episode only muddies then waters further in regards to Q: dangerous. It’s tragic how much misinformation and panic have caused people to have zero grounds upon which to reason anymore, but there is such a huge amount of nonsense information going around that it’s hard to blame anyone for having some level of cognitive dissonance at this point. So I can’t blame the hosts, good show, but they lose one star for covering a topic that they dangerously do not have a chance at understanding (they aren’t Americans). They’re speaking directly from the media they’re being fed and the limited research they’ve done (one host didn’t know if Q had started on 4Chan or 8Chan, yet proceeds to spend over an hour creating a podcast informing listeners about Q! They have no idea what it’s like to be born into a multi-generational American family going back to the American Revolution & the Mayflower. Love this show though and still found this podcast valuable. I just worry that lots of cognitive dissonance surrounding US politics will spread via this podcast, and offerings like this could only serve to further fan the flames of the Q movement. Some animals in the wild are best to scare off; they’ll run; whereas some other animals in the wild are tougher and have less of a fear response and, ultimately, are considerable warriors: one should run from these animals as fast as possible, just as folks who aren’t Americans are doing the world a disservice by trying to understand Q. 4 out of 5 stars. Will def continue to subscribe and look forward to many more great podcasts.
