Great stuff!

I’ve been watching Mr Ballen for a couple of years now. And I’d heard about Run Fool! from that. It’s fantastic. I’ll listen till the wheels fall off.

Best horror/ dark podcast storytelling out right now. Flavor, character building, and smooth delivery from Rodney is on point.

Even if you know the legend or recognize the creature you've probably not heard it like this. particularly partial to the voice and delivery from this podcast, and no overbearing music or effects.

Great Story Telling!

Interesting and new stories. It reminds me of sitting around the fireplace listening to my Dad and Uncles telling stories. I love it!

Now this is a vibe!

I’m a horror geek. Not slashers but horror that has a background story and is smartly written and performed. This checks all the boxes. Rodney (also the name of my husband!) has a great voice, which is very important to listeners. His voice, his stories and his dedication to detail are beautiful. I love listening when it’s cold outdoors, almost dark and I’m walking my dogs with flashlight in hand. We have pit bulls, so don’t worry about me being scared in the dark. LOL! Rodney’s grandma reminds me of my grandmother who always felt it important to let us know that we aren’t alone, the veil b’twn us and them is ultra thin, and we never really leave when we die. Bravo, sir!

I could listen ALL day!

since discovering this podcast, I wait anxiously each week to hear a new story! Rodney has an amazing way of captivating and bringing you in to the story. I close my eyes and feel like I'm in the story! I'm happy that I have stumbled across a new podcast show and know that this will go far and reach a huge audience.
Thank you for being the bright spot to my week. I look forward to each new story. My one and ONLY complaint, is that the stories are too short! I would love for the stories to be around the 30 minute mark.
I look forward to watching your podcast grow and look forward to continuing to enjoy your amazing stories each and every week. Just remember us that started with you 😉.
