    True and creepy
    This is so great, real people telling their own stories and if there is any kind of sources to back them up, you’ll hear that too. Thanks Chris, for your work.
  • ackur
    Fans of Radio Rental and Let’s Not Meet will love this podcast!
    If you like the podcasts Let’s Not Meet and Radio Rental, but with better editing and historic/social knowledge dropped in there too, this is it!
  • ThatDudeDev
    Nice
    I found you in the Radio Rental subreddit and I’m glad that I did, because this podcast is good. I like when people tell their own stories. It would be cool if you sent them a recording kit for them to to tell their stories on if they don’t have a mic, so that the audio quality is better, but I love this podcast so far regardless. Keep it up! *Please come back! Radio Rental is awful now! It’s anyone’s game! I swear I’ve heard better ghost stories on Nickelodeon than RR could ever churn out.
  • Sfelice80
    Great Podcast!!
    I came across a Reddit rec for your podcast and I binged it all in a week! I’m always on the hunt for firsthand stories told by the experiencer and this does not disappoint. I hope there’s more to come😁
  • Greta22Girl
    Love it!
    I was recommended this show by a family member and I’ve been obsessed! As someone who is a big fan of Radio Rental, I find Unnerved to be right up my alley. The stories are very interesting and the structure of the episodes are easy to follow. I enjoy that the stories are told by those who experienced them and that there are follow up interview questions to add more information about their experiences.
  • albaby70
    Great show!
    The stories are interesting and I love the personal stories told from the people who experienced them.
  • Pim Kang
    Amazing podcast
    Like the other review mentioned, I also found this podcast on Radio Rental subreddit. I am so glad someone suggested this podcast because it’s amazing stories well told, well produced. Thank you for your hard work!
  • Shadow Broker18
    Very good
    Love the sound design. Very “Creep Show”/1980’s vibes. Original true stories! What more can you ask for?
  • Amyinautumn
    LOVE
    You’re awesome! Thank you for creating these episodes! They keep me entertained on my drive! How can someone submit a story though??
  • guy461
    Superb start!!
    This podcast is an incredible addition to the very few first person reports of strange or frightening experiences that are shared on pods. Just truly well done, almost perfect editing, and a gem in the podcast world of this genera. Thank you so much!
  • JUtah31
    I like it
    It’s entertaining and the delivery and editing are good. I’m a little skeptical of the Buffalo River shooting episode though. They were swimming in a river in December? The guy had a handgun in the back of his shorts as he sat in an inner tube in the river? Nevertheless, it’s an entertaining podcast.
  • lbeard501
    Fascinating strange stories - Must listen!
    Unnerved was recommended to me since I also listen to Radio Rental, and Unnerved is now a favorite. I binged all of it in one day! Chris is a natural & engaging storyteller, and the story topics are so odd and gripping. I also love the conversations & storytelling between him and Jeremiah during Banter episodes. Give this a listen, folks!!
  • JessMcCann
    GREAT!
    Update!! He’s back! Yay! So excited to hear the new episodes! Welcome back 💕 Just found this podcast and I’m about to binge it, love stories told in first person, especially creepy ones. First episode was well done, can’t wait I listen to more!
  • Jellyyjaam
    Love this pod!
    Host does a good of setting the mood and the stories are really great. My new favorite pod!
  • Katizinha
    A mix of all my favorite things
    This podcast is like a conglomeration of all of my favorite scary story telling podcasts. The production is really solid, the stories and their tellers are all captivating, and I love the addition of supporting documentation of similar events. I enjoy Chris as a host, he really highlights the story teller and supports the story as much as possible. Not to mention, the intro is so nostalgic and awesome and I really can’t see what else will come from this Podcast.
  • Aimerzk
    New favorite pod!
    I’m really impressed by this podcast and am so glad to have found it! It reminds me a bit of Radio Rental! Keep it up!
  • greenmelamine
    Chilling, but in a fun way.
    I’ve been thoroughly enjoying listening over the past few weeks. I like to satisfy that need for rather spooky stories without feeling truly disturbed, and this fits that niche for me. Still, when I’m in the workout room listening to this by myself it keeps me on my toes haha. Although he hits some classic spooky topics hit on by other podcasts, he’s come up with stories I’ve never heard, not to mention there’s something compelling about stories of everyday people in wild situations. They’re stories you won’t really find anywhere else in those cases.
  • alittlebitangie
    More true crime? YES PLS! 👻
    Looking forward to checking out more episodes of this show. I am especially intrigued by UFOs and murder mysteries, so I can tell this will be right up my alley!
  • faintlyvisible
    Unnerving!
    I am definitely unnerved after listening to this podcast! Chris does a great job of presenting these creepy stories through first-person accounts and atmospheric music and sound effects. Add this one to your rotation and listen with the lights on!
  • Mxsandy12
    Creepy and wonderful!
    Love it!!!!
  • Hhhhi
    Compelling stories and well produced
    Well worth your time host does a great job and it's super interesting and unique hearing the stories directly from the source! Keep up the good work!
  • Starlord35
    Interesting
    I really enjoy the intro music. Wish the episodes were longer as I listen to them while I work.
