    I just got done listening to and as always this is a great podcast in general! I almost laughed when I heard the reference to stick indians, yes that is what they are called and yes I do believe they are real. My mom told me a story about them, they are mischievous at most times but other things as well. I wish I knew enough to share more. I am Yakama from the Yakama Reservation.

    My Favorite Podcast
    Odd Trails is the podcast I look forward to the most. I like that Andy and Brandon don’t try too hard. A huge reason why I love this podcast is because of their chatting at the end. I get to hear their perspectives and have learned about the most random but interesting topics.

    Love but cut the yapping
    Love the show and have for a couple years! These guys are certified yappers at the end. It feels forced and not that exciting to listen to.

    Great podcast but waaayy too many ads.
    The podcast is great but there's so many long ads.
  • RockvilleRed
    Too many ads
    I enjoy the stories on this podcast, but recently it seems like the number of ads has increased. Very disappointing. I would support ad free episodes of this show on Patreon if it were offered.

    Great show
    Love how creepy you guys sound when telling these stories please keep it up! Literally the best paranormal podcast I’ve come across and love that you leave it to us to determine if we think it’s true or no. 10/10 keep it up
  • atacila
    Nothing happens
    Lately, you’re posting stories where absolutely nothing happens. Nothing. They are so boring.
  • LePeaux
    Not listening anymore- adieu
    I’ve been a listener & fan since it started, but only recently realized these are nothing more than creepypastas- they say it’s “true horror” stories, but I sincerely doubt it now.
  • LBelle0020
    Really enjoy these guys
    I’ve been listening for a few months now. I also listen to Let’s Not Meet which is more focused on crime and this show is more focused on paranormal. I love the paranormal and always have since I was a little girl. Unfortunately, I’ve had a difficult time finding podcast I can stick with. I have a very unique understanding of the world and a lot of times the host on paranormal podcast will show their bias, an example would be with witchcraft and how they view it in a negative light. They will also comment on things they clearly have not researched and relay false information. So as I was saying, it is difficult to find decent paranormal podcast. These guys are so open-minded and accepting which is a breath of fresh air. They are open and seem willing to understand all religions and the lore that comes with it. I really appreciate the content and the positive energy they put out.

    I love these guys!
    I’m so glad I found this podcast! I have binged the Lets Read podcast and finally finished, so I was hoping to find something else similar to binge…found it in Odd Trails! Interesting stories, only a little mindless banter from the hosts, and no mocking or disrespect on their parts. I just wish they would read the stories a little less robotically and put some flair and voice inflections into their narrations. Otherwise keep up the great work!

    Ripped off Stranger Things
    In Episode 153 The Cedar Closet Story just blatantly ripped off Netflix’s Stranger Things. The “brother” who went from nerdy to D&D and biker jackets? Bro that’s clearly plagiarized from The character Eddie Munson on stranger things..you know..the guy with the mettalica master of puppets solo? Come on guys. Proof read your stuff before you post it on the show.

    Love Odd Trails! Originally, I was listening to ‘Let’s Not Meet’ and I’m so glad to have found this podcast to supplement my creepy collection of podcasters. The hosts are incredible narrators and I really enjoy their feedback at the end of every episode. Thank you for keeping me on my toes when I’m cleaning the house alone.
  • SophiaSweety
    The best!
    Love the spooky stories and the banter between Andrew and Brandon at the end of each episode is gold!!
  • Riverbuny
    Great podcast
    This quickly became one of my favorites . Cover art is fantastic . Love when the hosts talk at the end and give their perspectives this a one of my top 5 podcasts
  • JosephMason
    Good
    Completely closeted gays chatting about ghost stories. Then very uncomfortably chat with each other at the end of the podcast.
  • meg066
    Please be more selective with stories
    Sometimes I really enjoy this podcast, but lately there have been some submissions read that don’t make much sense, that don’t seem true, or that are otherwise distracting or disappointing. I’m sure lots of people write in: for the quality of the podcast, please filter through and only share the good ones!
  • geealva
    Creepy
    I listen to this podcast and Let’s Not Meet while I’m at work & 9x out of 10, I’m spooked. You guys really get into the storytelling & I absolutely love it. Listening to these makes my day go by so much faster. & it also makes me want to send in my own story. Thank you guys for an amazing podcast.
  • GabrielleBet
    Interesting stories
    I like the stories but you’d think a man with as many podcast projects as Andrew Tate would be more familiar with human speech patterns. Even when he’s chatting to his cohost at the end of the show, it sounds like he’s an alien still figuring out language. No hate - they still do a good job, it’s just so strange.
  • 🫧🧁Sprinkle🦇🍰
    Delicious podcast
    I absolutely love this podcast on days when I need time to myself. I have submitted a story and plan on plan on submitting an update soon. I’m still waiting for this story to be put in, but overall it’s a good podcast (to a childish 21 years old, as well as a true crime and horror junkie)
  • danibee01
    YouTube?
    Hi! I I’ve been listening to let’s not meet for a long time and have listened to odd trails ever since it started. Really great podcast! Love the spooky stories! I was just wondering if you guys ever thought about bringing your podcast to YouTube? I know it would add a lot more work for you guys but I would be cool to have some visuals with the stories even if it isn’t a camera on you guys and just some creepy imagery. I like listening to the podcast when I’m doing monotonous tasks around the house and it’s nice to have some visual stimuli as well. Again, great podcast. Thank you for consistently posting for so long!

    This is a MUST listen
    These two nerds 🫶🫶 Great voices, fun, creepy stories. There’s nothing I don’t love about this pod.

    Rigged Reviews
    I truly do not understand how every podcast miraculously has a 4.8 star rating. The “storytellers” in this one are so dull and monotone it’s immediately boring to listen to. I went back three years hoping earlier episodes might have a better and more earnest effort but this podcast has been painfully mediocre from the start. Honestly embarrassing that they continue pumping out such subpar content year after year.
  • sulmog
    Great podcast👍🏻
    Love the end of the show the most!
  • mseiz
    Spooky!
    the stories told on this podcast will give you a fright! the narrators do an excellent job.
  • arli_K
    Love it!
    If you love ‘Let’s Not Meet’ then you’ll love this. I don’t know why I waited so long to listen to it.
  • Chelbie
    Love this show but…
    Love this show but are all of the stories straight from Reddit or do people actually write in? I just found every single story from one of the episodes on Reddit. It’d be really disappointing if all of their episodes were from Reddit.
  • Nosferatuia
    Keep up the awesome work!
    Love the show I look forward to each and every episode and share it with friends and family every time I have the chance!

    Love it
    I love this show.

    Stop the background music
    Please stop the background music that’s new. Why try to be like other podcasts? I to stumbled upon this podcast about a year ago and it’s absolutely everything I love in a podcast, except the new background music has to go. Many people who are super musically inclined simply cannot separate the music from the story, so you’re alienating a lot of people by playing the music while narrating. It wasn’t broken, so why try to tinker with it? I love that the hosts are good-hearted and have such soothing voices; love their sense of humor and that they save the adorable witty banter for the end of the show instead of the opening. Great show⭐️
  • KBILLIONS
    My favorite spooky show
    I’ve been listening for a couple years now, odd trails is my favorite podcast.
  • SpookyCoochie
    Spooktastic Show
    Listen to Odd Trails for its great narration, interesting variety of stories, and spooky vibes! Plus, Andy and Brandon always have interesting discussions post show about the topics explored. I found this show via Morbid and I’m so glad I did, it heckin rocks. So give it a listen and enjoy!
  • MegZane
    I love this podcast!
    I look forward to snuggling under my blankets late at night, after I’ve gotten my son to sleep, and have a moderate sized bowl of ice cream to eat alllll to myself. I put on Odd Trails and listen to the spooky stories while hiding under the blankets. I seriously look forward to this every night. (I just wish I could listen to a new episode every night) I love the real life stories, love the narrator’s voices, I’m into it. Keep up the good work guys!
  • TCBrandi D
    Awesome Podcast
    Hey guys, I just wanted to let you guys know you have done a great job. I actually found your podcast because Andrew was on the morbid podcast. I figured I would jump over here and give you guys a listen. Listening to you guys sound like some down to earth people. Who can enjoy laughing and having a good time: there is nothing worse than listening to podcast with people who are just “boring” to listen to. Keep up the good work!
  • Chels_Chels
    Best paranormal show I’ve found!
    It’s been so hard for me to find a genuinely good paranormal/supernatural show. I literally did searches every year or so for this type of podcast for over five years now, and I FINALLY found one worth my time. And it’s even better that these are personal stories from people, not just the popular ones we’ve all heard about already. Definitely five stars from me! Highly recommend.
  • SamFerDem
    Love this show!
    Love this podcast! Great reportedly true horror stories. Also love let’s not meet which is its sister show
  • jslatecbs
    Narration is iffy
    One of the readers has so little inflection in his narration that he sounds like a grade school kid reading in front of the class. Improve your skills dude.
  • Rice7879
    Entertaining but sometimes reads like Creepy Pasta
    I’ve been a long time listener of this podcast but question if the stories are vetted and checked. Some of the third person narratives read like fictional tales with flowery language that amateur authors are looking to get read on a large platform. The simple, to-the-point first hand stories are extremely believable and very enjoyable, and make for some entertaining and spooky listening.
  • mydogsnameisHachi
    Binge-Worthy
    This podcast is gold! I love everything creepy and unexplainable. The format is probably the best part, goes straight into the stories and then they chat at the end.
  • ilove3yes!
    LOVE!
    Love your stories and really enjoy your sweet discussion after! It is very obvious you both have beautiful hearts. Keep it up please!
  • With Unbridled Glory
    Longtime Listener First Time Writer—Love this duo!!
    These fine fellas are killer storytellers and they have a chemistry rare to see in any industry. I love the stories they tell, and often without judgment making this podcast feel like a safe space to interact. The recap and banter at the end is great, either with witty and fun anecdotes or simply a thought-provoking perspective. I’ve enjoyed Andrew’s Let’s Not Meet podcast for a long time, and I can confidently say adding Brandon and the paranormal into the mix was an excellent move. They’re a dynamic duo for the ages!
  • QueenPanda777
    Spooky is better
    I found Andrew on Let’s not meet podcast and he lead me to here. I absolutely love horror. Since I was very little. I love the stories and experiences people share, I appreciate them so. Thank you both for telling their stories and experiences! I need more! I hope you both feel better!
  • AudBarbie
    All things unexplained in life.
    Just because you can’t explain it; doesn’t mean it’s not real. All real stories submitted by folks that experienced it. I love this show. It’s breaks up my monotonous & long daily drive to work. It’s listener submission based & keeps things from being stale. I enjoy listening to them gab at the end as well. I never want it to end.
  • hkxhrzhfxhf
    Be safe out there!
    Best podcast ever! I love Andy and Brandon together, they make such a fun, spooky podcast and I look forward to it every single week!!! I miss binging it for sure haha. It definitely helps me get through my work day and even my days off!
  • KittypantsILM
    My favorite Monday listen!
    Long time listener. Always look forward to the stories. It’s crazy how relatable your stories are I have a quite a few but just haven’t had time to write in. Every week I notice some kind go synchronicity between at least one of your stories and something I’ve recently experienced. Kindred podcast!
  • Dinky_616
    Monday is my favorite!
    I absolutely LOVE this podcast! They have made Monday my favorite day because I get a new episode! This podcast combines the best of paranormal with the spookiness knowing they are real experiences. Andy and Brandon’s voices are also made for podcasts which makes listening a great experience.
