@Kayla Moore : 本年度收听率最高的剧集是关于澳大利亚都市传说的剧集，这与澳大利亚发生的许多可怕事件有关。剧集中包含许多令人毛骨悚然的故事，例如鲨鱼手臂案和纽扣人的故事。澳大利亚也是该播客的第三大听众群体所在地。 我最喜欢的剧集包括Pennhurst精神病院的剧集，它探讨了美国残疾人权利的历史和一些闹鬼的故事；黑暗夏季系列中的圣路易斯准奥运会剧集，讲述了业余运动员参加奥运会的故事，其中包含种族主义科学实验；以及黑暗好莱坞系列，虽然是最不流行的剧集之一，但它仍然有一些亮点。 我最害怕的剧集是关于池钟家族的剧集，因为它让我对被困的女性感到害怕，并且凶手的动机难以理解。我还害怕游乐园恐怖故事，因为我害怕在游乐设施上被斩首，并且担心它们没有经过充分的检查。 我从剧集中的人物和家属那里收到反馈，这让我意识到该播客并非只是自言自语。许多听众在工作或健身时收听该播客，这让我意识到该播客的真实性。我选择讲述那些鲜为人知、有待解决或有新视角的故事。 本年度的亮点之一是与Annie Elise一起进行现场演出，以及与其他播客的合作，例如Psychopedia和Amanda Montell。我还与“两个女孩，一个鬼魂”播客合作，在塞勒姆进行了一次成功的合作。 我最喜欢的纪录片包括《安静的片场》、《烈火之中：迷失的女儿》、《伊巴林的非凡人生》和《告诉我你爱我》。我最喜欢的电影包括《物质》和《深夜与魔鬼》。 @Matt Brown : 本年度收听率最高的播客剧集是关于澳大利亚都市传说的剧集。鲨鱼手臂案讲述的是一条鲨鱼在游乐园水箱中吐出一条人臂的故事，引发了一起悬而未决的案件调查。澳大利亚都市传说剧集还讲述了“纽扣人”的故事，一个用鹿角制作纽扣的真实人物。 我最喜欢的剧集是关于尤利安娜·科普卡从飞机上坠落的故事，因为它让我对被困的女性感到害怕，并且凶手的动机难以理解。 我最害怕的剧集是关于池钟家族的剧集，因为它让我对被困的女性感到害怕，并且无法理解凶手的想法。 人们喜欢听他们最喜欢的讲故事的人讲述故事，即使故事已经被讲述过很多次了。 我最喜欢的纪录片包括《迈克尔·乔丹》和《文斯·麦克马洪》。
