Best horror/ dark podcast storytelling out right now. Flavor, character building, and smooth delivery from Rodney is on point.

Even if you know the legend or recognize the creature you've probably not heard it like this. particularly partial to the voice and delivery from this podcast, and no overbearing music or effects.

Great Story Telling!

Interesting and new stories. It reminds me of sitting around the fireplace listening to my Dad and Uncles telling stories. I love it!

Now this is a vibe!

I’m a horror geek. Not slashers but horror that has a background story and is smartly written and performed. This checks all the boxes. Rodney (also the name of my husband!) has a great voice, which is very important to listeners. His voice, his stories and his dedication to detail are beautiful. I love listening when it’s cold outdoors, almost dark and I’m walking my dogs with flashlight in hand. We have pit bulls, so don’t worry about me being scared in the dark. LOL! Rodney’s grandma reminds me of my grandmother who always felt it important to let us know that we aren’t alone, the veil b’twn us and them is ultra thin, and we never really leave when we die. Bravo, sir!

Great stuff!

I’ve been watching Mr Ballen for a couple of years now. And I’d heard about Run Fool! from that. It’s fantastic. I’ll listen till the wheels fall off.

Rodney Tells the Best Stories

I really enjoy listening to Run Fool. I haven't missed an episode since it started. I really like the suspense and at times I'm holding my breath waiting to see what happens next. My only complaint are the two part episodes, I spend the whole week wondering how the story is going to turn out. It's almost like waiting for Christmas or a birthday.
