Popular Reviews of Ghost Stories For The End Of The World

I've listened to ~10 parts of their Danny Casolaro/PROMIS series and I feel pretty confident at this point saying that they're irresponsible fearmongers.Be skeptical of any conspiracy theory podcast host who loves to pepper his episodes with dramatic whispers (cringe) and calling the audience "baby." If this is how you want to run a podcast where you perpetuate very serious, very scary information (at one point I was in tears over just how hopeless a portrait GSftEotW paints of the world), reconsider why it is you seem to revel and relish the reveal of upsetting information.Matt, if you ever read this, I'm being dead serious: ask yourself why it so clearly gives you pleasure to make people believe their world is deeply and unchangeably unsafe.I suppose the clue is right in the name. Maybe you're supposed to treat this podcast as fiction? Maybe I missed the joke.Why does GSftEotW not offer any insights or information to counterbalance their alarmist narratives? Because they want to scare you. They want to drive listeners to their episodes out of fear and anxiety. The more you listen, the more hopeless you feel. I could feel how conspiracy theories work on the brain and got a sense of how people get lost in destructive worldviews.GSftEotW does something you see a lot of online conspiracy theorists do. When's the last time you read one of their manifestos that was just a few paragraphs of clear, fact-based information? Instead, you get tomes and tomes of tenuously linked concepts and people--always backed by plenty of links for you to follow--that at first blush seem like overwhelming evidence.The truth is that these people, much like GSftEotW , have strung together a list of connected things and are unable to explain to you the real connections between these things. You'd think the Danny Casolaro series is so long because they do such in-depth analysis, right? Except when you start researching their claims, you see references to littlesis.org lists that don't actually exist, or footage from the one video you get when you google 9/11 whistleblower Indira Singh. Lazy, irresponsible, manipulative. Matt, if you want to be a very cool and sexy beloved podcast voice, try reading spooky short fiction or hosting a D&D game. Stop creating 100s of hours of content about things you don't understand and can't explain.
