  • SpanRelic
    Best podcast
    Unspeakable is probably the best podcast. It’s not only a way to like frighten kids in like a way that they won’t have nightmares and also like goes into all the stuff behind it and stuff like that so I definitely recommend it and it’s definitely deserves a five star review.

  • Sidzesloth
    Amazing scary story show!
    I love scary and ghost stories and this is the best show I’ve heard that dives deep into ghost stories!! I love all these episodes, and I really think you guys should do La llarona! I’m not sure if that’s how you spell it but it’s a very school story that the famous YouTubers Sam and Colby dive into, and I think it would be cool if you did an episode with them!!
  • I 🩷 podcasts

    Love your show!
    Our whole family listens to your show together. It’s a great way for my curious, spooky-loving kiddos to get some chills without too much for their age. Thank you so much for this accessible and thoughtful podcast. Our suggestions for episodes are: supervillains, clowns, quicksand, zombies, aliens… so many possibilities! (:
  • Star5568
    Spoky and scary but the best
    The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this show is magical creatures. I love it can you do a episode on griffin or hippocampus please 🙏🏻
  • Dabomb56
    Bruh…
    Y’all need to update. Also the interviews are insanely boring. You also take away the scary by “explaining the science” behind scary stuff.
  • I luv fred
    Please
    Can you make an episode of giant Alex from Minecraft it’s really cool and creepy
  • ferrettastic
    I have a lot to say…
    Bruh I’ve been waiting for you guys to do an episode on skin walkers, but you have to ruin it this “cultural appreciation” like… who even cares. Stop making everything weird.😭 Ur podcast used to be so good until you only started posting the interviews with book authors. Like do u think kids are gonna find that interesting??? Also we don’t talk about the skibidi toilet one 😭 pls keep brain rot out of this podcast…
  • MinecraftNerd864
    Well…
    I don’t mind interviews
  • verni❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
    ??
    love the podcast!what happened to all the episodes? give us an update!!
  • Ur mom is very hot
    My favorite podcast, but some suggestions
    This podcast is a very amazing podcast, but I (and a lot of other people) don’t really enjoy the episodes with other people. The audience is mostly kids and, why would they want to listen to interviews? Also I think you should make an episode about the Serbian dancing lady and some other scary ticktock trends! I think it would be an amazing episode that many people would watch and enjoy because a lot of people watch ticktock so they might know about it already and find out more about it! But overall, this is an absolutely amazing podcast. Keep making more episodes!!!!!! ☺️🫶
  • Ooooops_Mayagurl
    Can you make a Jane and John Doe episode if you haven’t
    This show is so cool and I love it but y’all gotta make more episodes

    Please release new episodes
  • Nicnic1612
    Make the Interviews Stop
    This used to be my son’s favorite podcast but lately every episode is an interview. No child wants to listen to an interview - it’s not engaging at all. Especially this latest one - culturally appropriation? What kid is a) going to understand that concept b) care about it. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Your audience is predominantly children. They don’t want boring interviews.
