A strange combination of facts and stories that somehow works perfectly haha. I have heard most of the stories before, especially the ones concerning the cryptids, but even so I really enjoyed the narration, the chemistry between these two ladies is on point, and the humor is fucking brilliant. I really hope they continue with the series.

Most enjoyable thing I have heard in a long time.
