Spookalicious

I found Stephanie’s pod on the Darkcast Network. She does a great job of telling stories- and you can sense she cares about the subject manner. Can’t get enough of the spookalicious content!! Keep up the good work!

Murder & Mimosas ,

Sinister in the best way

So many episodes are cases I have never heard of the Heaven's Gate episode was my first, but I stayed for so many more

Steph approaches stories with sensitivity

You can tell Steph really cares about the stories she’s telling. She always finds interesting crimes I haven't heard of, and she approaches each one with so much sensitivity and empathy. She’s a great storyteller and I find her voice to be so soothing and relaxing!
