OMG 🙄😄 what a bunch of whining and complaining. Ads are here because even though he’s doing a show it’s still a business. He still has to entertain. Good Job Mr. Hayes keep on with the keep-on. Sounds good to me. I’ll keep following the show. 👍🏾👍🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ plus, being a musician I like how he lets ya know who did the music so ya can go look up the musician

Listen every week, great show!!

I’m a recent listener to the podcast, started a few months ago from the beginning and am just finishing up season 13. The stories and host are great it’s quickly become one of my favorite podcasts but I’ve noticed over the last several episodes a drastic increase in the number of ads per episode. I’d love to give it 5 stars but just can’t right now with the number of ads present. It’s got to the point there’s a minute or two of ads after every other story. I understand the need for ads to keep the show running and don’t have a problem with some ads but it’s best if they’re done at the beginning or end of the podcast like other shows do. If this keeps up I’m going to have to ditch this podcast for something different. If the ads get under control I’m more than happy to come back and adjust my review.

I really wanted to like this podcast because the stories themselves are interesting and seem to come from genuine experiences. The content has a lot of potential, and I appreciate the effort to bring real ghost stories to the spotlight. However, the host’s voice is very over-the-top and distracting—it takes away from the eerie, authentic vibe the stories are trying to create. Sometimes it feels like the delivery is more about theatrics than letting the story speak for itself. A more natural tone would go a long way in making the show more enjoyable and immersive. Still, if you can get past the presentation, there are some solid ghost stories to be found here.

Love the show hate the garbage ads, got a bunch of religious and exercise ads a weird combo but I don’t like the religious adverts immediately turns me off, I’m going somewhere else.

What a great episode. Everyone should have MAU in their podcast icons . Never miss a show ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mike Costa Mesa , CA

For all the family to enjoy! Share it with the ones you care for! & Play it for crazy Tia!

Maybe clear your throat when you talk on air or change your voice because it’s horrible. Other than that it’s good.

We need this safe space.

I look forward to listening to each and every episode. I finally decided to subscribe best decision ever, no more annoying g ads!!And I love your voice Derek, I love your sense of humor. Some peeps may not be catching that. It’s creative and entertaining in an a Hitchcock kinda way…Keep it Going! Listening in TX 🤠

Please stop with the ads way to many and they run the experience as well as people that have stories that are so short and say “I saw a black figure thanks Derek bye!”

I like this podcast but it seems there is more and more commercials. It’s getting to the point of more commercials than stories. I understand you need to make a profit but wow it’s getting hard to listen to anymore.

Love it - too many ads otherwise perfect

Geeeeezzz. STOP, STOP, STOP the “fake”, overemphasizing speech. It’s distracting because it’s fake. Use your own voice. I won’t listen to these B S, “look at my voice” crud. This is 90% of the reason that 90% of pods fail…INAUTHENTICITY

This is the most fun podcast out there.

One of my favorite podcasts, it’s so great ! The calls are interesting, and I know some folks have an issue with the host’s voice, but I think it works and makes the episodes spooky and fun, which is what he’s going for.

Hers the thing dude does no prep ahead of time and don’t join the Patreon because once a month takes a week or more off and to feel the regular show, he releases a Patreon episode. I don’t know how these Podcasters ever worked a real job.

I can’t wait to see what gruesome scandal wrecks this one!

Please the people calling in reading their creepy pasta has to stop. Calls used to be good enough you could ignore the weird Batman voice.

This is a great show with a great host. There are some callers that are full of it but you will always have that. So many entertaining stories and I actually like the round table episodes, you whiners.

Absolutely wonderful✨

I love the earlier episodes when Derek spoke like a normal person and not like an imitation of Batman / Shatner. Please turn off the effects. It is very distracting to listen to.

Sorry to hear about your brother. Thank you so much for that quote. Love the show awesome.

I have been noticing a lot of duplicate calls lately

I love hearing new stories not on other shows. The short format is perfect. Thanks!

Literally this man said in the beginning of me listening to his pod that he would tell stories for people to look at him weird or dismiss him yet I know it isn’t just me but in a clairvoyant and have called in with stories of seeing some one die before they did yet all I hear are the most fabricated stories and or delusional children who saw a cat like come on bro definitely unsubscribedYou literally have people reading off paper what a joke smh and to get people to tell you Their story for you to pick and choose the lesser is insane

I am a day one original listener I also just recently watched high strangeness & I want to visit the borrego triangle myself eventually!

Hi! I am a day one fan. Your show is absolute perfection!! F what the haters or critics say. No other podcast compares to this show! Period. On a serious note, thank you guys for all your hard work. You are loved!

Truly my favorite podcast… I’ve been listening for years and I’ll continue as long as it runs, which I can only hope is an eternity. Thanks MAU team for making rad content!

this is a top 3 podcast for me, if not #1 favorite. everything is done just right from the subjects, the pacing, the feedback. ads & rambling is something that weighs on my nerves quite a bit but with your podcast the ads are quick, easy and sometimes even lead me to new podcast suggestions. come to think of it i don’t even realize many ads at all. you don’t ramble, always straight to the point and only say what’s necessary even when giving feedback. you’re logical yet open minded like myself and have even turned me into a bigfoot believer which is something i truly never thought i’d be saying, haha. thanks man - keep up the incredible work and top shelf quality. you really are the best of the best, especially in the genre. you and your wife are quite the dream team. cheers.

I’ve been listening for two years now and I’m still hooked! Especially loved the best of episode!

Love the PC

sometimes the background noise is too much.

This is the best podcast with some logical reasoning to the show instead of making everything about seem like what people witnessed is paranormal. I have some interesting experiences. I like the Hometown Legends series and the Halloween special. I will definitely call and share my experiences. I’m a big fan of the paranormal. I know that there’s logical reasons to why something might happen to a person. I have some interesting stories about the paranormal phenomena that I have experienced in California and Oregon.

A coworker turned me onto the show a couple of weeks ago and I’m already on season three. It’s now December and it’s dark when I get home so I’m usually listening at night and it’s getting spooky. Spooky because a lot of these stories have a sense of familiarity and as I start to remember things for my past, I’m taking notes. I’ll be calling in soon. I listen every night I can’t stop.

My absolute favorite podcast! Look forward to it every week! No 2 calls are ever alike. If you're not already a believer, you will be. ❤️

Love hearing first hand experiences! Plus Great commentary from Derek one of my favs!

Awesome podcast ,can’t wait for new episodes!!!

I recently found your podcast, honestly I’ve only been listening to true crime or live trials . Just curious I started listening, and I had to go back to the beginning. I am glued to it and I still haven’t caught up to the current episode. I truly appreciate your podcast and the awesome people who have helped make it so! Thank you again and FYI, I donated to help keep it going. . Barbara

I love this podcast. So much so that I joined patreon, if only to ensure they have the support to keep it going! (You don’t have to pay to get the majority of content!) For real this podcast keeps me moving through my week. I love that they are true stories, the intention is to debunk/explain so much as revel in the mystery, and the series of short stories makes it easy to pause and then hop back in when my life interrupts (which it often does). I’m so happy I found this little podcast - I’m so grateful for All who make it happen!

I’ve been listening on and off over the years. It is a great place for people to share their stories and experiences. I really enjoy listening to the wide range of experiences everyone has had. Such a cool format too! I had never heard a podcast like this before.

I love MAU. Binged it back in 2022 when I discovered it and been hooked ever since. Derek is great… miss him on Paranormal Caught on Camera ☹️. I’m ready to join Patreon for More, More, More paranormal!!! 👍

Highly enjoyable show. It’s made me, a 40-year-old woman, afraid to go in my own yard at night or in my basement any time. Thanks. Can’t stop listening!

This show is legendary and I enjoy hearing the different stories and love that there’s a place for people to tell their stories. I’ll call one day. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely love the show! There’s so much obvious hard work that goes into every episode and I’m so thankful to the team for consistently delivering quality spooky entertainment! They have truly created a space where people can share their stories of the unknown and not feel judged! Having weird experiences myself itself always comforting to know I’m not the only one with a couple bumps in the night!

I love Derek’s voice! He is so calm and reassuring, when some of the stories are sooo creepy! I’ve been listening to MAU since 2017 and I never miss an episode.

I’ve been listening since 2018! I moved on to support MAU on Patreon as a paid supporter because I love them so much 🫶🏽 You can submit your stories via email or hotline! The stories are featured from individual callers and there are a select few read by Derek from emails. Their team is phenomenal! Sarah is very attentive to the listeners feedback. The research conducted by Delainie is thorough and Derek’s delivery on the podcast is very entertaining. The stories range from diverse topics and cover subjects that I’ve never heard before. Highly recommend if you like campfire spooky story times.

Growing up I was a huge X files fan and loved all things pararnomal and cryptozoological. This podcast hits the spot. I love the range of topics from Appalachian tales to encounters with Zozo the demon. I like hearing others story’s of paranormal happenings. I appreciate Dereks pragmatic approach to explanations. Huge fan!

TRUMP2024- America first

Derek is amazing and the stories are great and perfect for people who love this genre of pod and wants spooky season to be all year.
