Interesting topics
I’m currently bingeing; there are a lot of great topics covered. I like the hosts and find them funny. I enjoy hearing some personal stories and banter as I’m learning something. Definitely give it a try!

Great Podcast!
Rebecca and Jason are not only informative, but hilarious. Their friendship and banter (which I enjoy and wish there was more of), along with the awesome content makes this podcast a favorite of mine. Thanks and keep up the good work you two!

Hello
I love the banter. But I miss hearing about Rebecca’s dating life. If I didn’t have an awesome wife and steady job I would fly to La to take her on a mediocre Perhaps borderline forgettable date. A man can dream 🤷🏼‍♂️

Please don’t change a thing
I enjoy this podcast very much, and I hope you’ll both ignore all negative feedback because you do an excellent job! I don’t normally write reviews, but felt I needed to counter the negative stuff from folks who’ve probably never put together an audio production and are getting this great content for absolutely free. Please keep up the great work!

Has Improved a Great Deal
I have to admit that I almost gave up on Ghost Town after trying to listen to the early episodes. The Janis Joplin episodes are especially painful, lots of Jason stammering and no content, but new episodes are great! I love Rebecca and Jason's discussions. Their sense of humor is so dry that it's easy to miss some of their jokes. The shows are L.A. centric and it makes me want to revisit the city, this time with Rebecca as my guide.

Love!!
I listen to this podcast at work! So good!

I don't understand the hate
Obvi episodes in the beginning of a podcast are gonna be rocky. The show has really improved. We stan the hosts. They're funny and have good chemistry. Also they really don't do much banter like skip the little Midway chitchat break????

Improved!!! Give it another shot!
I tried listening to the older episodes awhile back and I felt there was a lot of off topic discussion. I gave it a try again because I never get tired of the Dyatlov Pass. The show is pretty great now, and seems to stay on track. Also, I learned of 2 topics that I’ve never heard on other pods, and that’s a feat in this day and age! I’m changing my review to reflect this new info. Hope this pod continues!

Great!
I’ve been listening to this podcast since late 2019 and they have gotten even better! I can listen to more information now and has even more interesting stories. Keep up the good work.

F the haters
I’ve listened to most of the back catalogue and really enjoy the true abandoned places and things, along with murder mysteries. I love the banter between you two, makes it seem like you’re not just reading facts off a paper... f the haters for not liking natural conversation. The last few episodes have been a little skippy and jumpy.. sometimes the same sentence repeated 3 or 4 times. Overall love the show!!

Love this podcast!
I really love your chemistry and storytelling format. It’s fun and I feel like I’m chilling with you. The stories are fascinating and I can’t get enough. Great job all around!!

Great podcast!
I love this podcast and really don’t understand the negative reviews. People are wayyy too critical. Keep up the great work Rebecca and Jason!

.
The stories are great, I just start to get annoyed when You spend more time complaining about reviews than the story you guys are talking about....

Love it
I love the new format where you do your chatting in the middle. Before when it was throughout I’d sometimes forget where you were in the story. Having it this way makes it so much easier to enjoy it. Love your work, keep it up!

Fun and approachable darkness
Jason and Rebecca have a fun, well informed and approachable take to some really dark and sometimes lighthearted topics. The banter back and forth makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with a couple of friends. It’s worth a listen or quite a few… hint hint binge the archives!

One of the best
Is this the best podcast in the world? No. Is it close? Yes. Rebecca and Jason are fantastic. They cover interesting and entertaining stories and they are authentic and funny along the way. I was super lucky to have Rebecca as a guest on my podcast (Choose Your Struggle) and I can tell you she's as authentic and honest in interview settings as she is on her show. I reccomend Ghost Town probably two or three times a week. It's truly wonderful. Never change. Either of you. You're wonderful the way you are.

I like it but...
I love the storytelling, but I don’t like how you chat and advertise in the middle of the episode. If you stopped or did less of that, I would give it five stars. I understand that it hurts when you get a bad comment, but I feel you are not taking the advice behind the rudeness. I feel that you are ignoring any and all constructive criticism, and that is why you are GETTING the bad reviews. If you begin taking the steps to do this, you will have less bad comments, and more five star reviews. -TacoKitty13

Lovely
Great podcast for easy listening! Love the down-to-earth format, less of a serious factual vibe than other podcasts. This is something I can lie down and relax to which is great, especially when times are so stressful! People asking for less ads and chatting (the ads help them make money so unless you’re paying you really don’t have the right to complain, and the chatting is a part of their style???) It’s an overall great show that I truly don’t think deserves all the hate! Keep up the good work guys!

My favorite podcast!!
Absolutely love this podcast. I’ve never wrote a review before, but I had to stop and write one for this. I do a lot of driving and this podcast has been a lifesaver! Jason and Rebecca keep me entertained and educated! Listening is so much fun, and there is always a topic I’m interested in. Definitely worth a listen, or better yet, just subscribe!

Great
One of the best podcasts I’ve found! Every story is interesting the of amount of research they put in is unbelievable they’ve made me a lifelong listener for sure!

Ghost Town is Story Worthy
I heard Jason interviewed on StoryWorthy by Christine Blackburn and I had to check out Ghost Town. I liked it I was pulled in. The format is a great way to learn more about stories I was unfamiliar with... I don’t read Rolling Stone or watch 48 Hours or have Reddit so I’m glad to learn these stories that are intriguing and disturbing.

Cheers!
One of my favorite podcasts.

Great lighthearted listen
Ghost Town is one of my favorite shows. They cover fun, weird stuff while still staying lighthearted overall. They don’t take themselves too seriously, their chitchat is fun, and it’s been a fun journey listening to their improvement over time. Definitely worth spending a few hours to binge!

Interesting Stories
Love the podcast, interesting stories and lots of laughs.

Binged over a flight to Hawaii
Read a some reviews saying rather unkind things, so I wasn’t expecting much but I found myself seriously entertained over a very long flight.

Wonderful!
I have to say I have been listening for the last week and binging on all the episodes. There is been a lot of pleasant surprises and unusual episodes that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Thank you so much for the entertainment and diversion from my regular life.

Addicted and it might be a problem.
I tried this podcast after I saw it under suggested podcasts for Stuff You Should Know’s Taliesn Massacre episode. One episode soon became three and three episodes soon became thirteen and so forth. It is similar in many ways to another beloved podcast focused on the bizarre (pun intended) The Untold Hour w/ Jess and Bowser. However while the former is a mixture of ghost stories, interviews, spooky new, horror movie discussion, true crime and fun personal stories ..this podcast has shorter episodes with more of a focus on haunted locations and locations with dark history like Atlas Obscura. I also love California’s history; it is the only place on my bucket list. I just wish the one true haunted place in Harford County, Maryland; Perryman’s Mansion, hadn’t been demolished. On a personal note I struggle with depression and your episodes along with songwriting and illustrating are extremely therapeutic. I can’t wait to have my new 90’s Nickelodeon concept album out next year via Distrokid and I can think of no better way to promote it than to join the 25$ Patreon; because half the profits (if I get any) from streams and purchases will go to the Make A Wish Foundation..not to mention I’ll get access to the “bony’s”. I thoroughly enjoy it and cannot recommend it enough.

Love it, hate it, want more of it
I love the topics! they cover really interesting, creepy, and skin-crawling topics. Their ad and ‘check-in’ breaks are very annoying, but effective at making me want to sign up for patreon.com/ghosttownpod to skip the ads. If you don’t want to do that, just fast-forward through the commercial breaks.

Topics are great!
Love the topics they cover, but I wish they’d stay on topic and it seems the woman will interrupt the man with “okay” “yes” “uh huh” etc. A lot! Other than this I really like it and hope they cover more with staying on topic.

New Listener
I’m new to the podcast and really most of what I have heard so far. Thanks for helping the time fly by while my daughter is doing school work and work around the house. Would more info on the Jonbenet Ramsey email. Thanks Scott
