I love hearing about weird stuff, especially when it’s seen through a Biblical framework. This stuff is way better than paranormal-based tv shows, and, sadly, better than the watered-down milk you hear in most churches. God’s creation is way more fascinating than we’ve been taught! Come to AI to find content that will expand your understanding of God’s Word. By the way, I could listen to Justin read anything, his voice and accent are so smooth, it feels like a warm blanket on a cold day. Tune in!

Where are you guys??? Hope everyone is doing well!

There is no doubt, these guys are the greatest team of paranormal podcasters out there. That said, I know you family dad’s have a busy schedule but We need you guys to get back to work. Sorry to be blunt but seriously there’s so much wild stuff going on right now and we need your input. Your podcast is one of those “ if I’m stuck on a island with one podcast “ who would you want to listen to? It would be Appalachian Intelligence 👏🏼💯 All you guys are in my prayers and I hope you all are doing good. Can’t wait to hear your voices again. You are greatly appreciated and thank you for all your hard work.

Worrying about y’all. Have you stopped doing podcasts? ❤️

…anything!!! Justin’s Crazy Corner is my favorite place to be cuz I get plenty of the Debunker (Ryan) too. 😆😂🤣 Can’t choose a fav…#TeamAI all the way. Loving the balance & banter. ❤️❤️❤️ P.S. Plz bring more Mr. Jeffrey. Update: Listening my way through from Episode 1. Praise the Lord for Lance & the balance he brings. Congrats for an supra-normal (above normal) podcast from OK & the Philippines!

Plz add the outdo song link in the description so I can save it and share it

It’s like sitting down with good friends and having a great time talking about crazy true encounters. Keep up the greatness!

AI is THE best podcast out there! I stay on the lookout for each new episode. Thanks for exposing and sharing the weird in the world guys! Love the show!

Thanks for sharing! You guys are on point . Definitely enjoy the pow wow Episodes keep it up guys. Helps me get through the day inspecting fire hydrants. Thanks guys if I could give you 10 stars I would.

GOD bless you!!! Great show, can you believe how much we’re censored these days. I called my rep in Congress. So, I moved from the east coast of NJ to Greeneville TN! I love it! I heard y’all on the Confessionals and I think the Bump. I love the rendition of that Christian song one of you sang. I’m learning from you and love the show. I have a question, did I hear right that you are from Grundy VA? My neighbor down the holler is from Grundy, I have wondered since I heard that you were from Grundy if any of you know them. They are the McClanahans.

The guys are tackling some of the best topics. I rank them up there with the Blurry Boys and Mr. Confessionals. Seriously great content and the hosts are the real deal.

Great show. And to all the haters that say your intro is to long. I vote for a full 90 min intro on loop just to piss them off. It will be your number one downloaded episode!! Keep it up guys. Awesome show.

Hey coach Compton the discord link is expired. Needs to be fixed immediately or this review will lose 4 stars.

First heard of y’all from the serpent bro’s and am so glad I followed! Thank you!!!

I have to say, stories sound better with a southern accent. My dad was from the Appalachian mountains in the northwestern corner of NC. (His dad was from Tennessee...so I wonder if we are truly kinfolk, because we really are ALL related there.) My hill billy side has always been my best side and the side I am most proud of. My dad worked in WI every summer and eventually married a northerner and stayed there. But, his heart was always in NC and he longed to go back. I would take him many times enjoying his stories and seeing the joy it brought him to be there with his family and friends. He would say Appalachian in the correct way...we were taught that incorrect pronunciation on our northern schools. It took me until my early 20's to realize we were taught it wrong in school and if you are from there, you say it the correct way. So, I say it correcty now (and everyone Looks at me a little side-eyed). My case in point, any Wisconsiner would know exactly how to pronounce : Menomonee Falls, Waukesha, Oconomowoc, Fond Du Lac, Lac du Flambeau...etc... and we would laugh at the rest of the world that mispronounces them. (If you read this review, you don't have to say them...you can just say I listed a few Wisconsin towns). Anyway, my father passed in 2018. It was after this time I came to an understanding of such things. I sure wish I could ask him of any of the stories and lore he knew or if he had any strange encounters in his neck of the woods, knowing what I now know. I have to ask some of my cousins if there are any stories. My dad and I had a huge bird fly in front of the car once...to which our mind said it must have been an owl because it was at night. But, we joked about it being a flying elephant or pterodactyl, the wing span was huge. Now, in hindsight, I wonder what the heck it was. I am happy to have stumbled upon your podcast. I enjoy it, I learn, it reminds me of my dad and I feel like I have kinfolk who don't think I am crazy. I look forward to each show and I am going through the old ones. Thank you for putting this stuff out there.

Im so grateful for you all.

Lost interest after they had FED on. Too closed minded and normie for my taste. Can’t be a podcast about conspiracies and the great unknown and not take True Earth seriously. Maybe they’ll understand the value of doing their own research instead of blindly following what the mainstream has force-fed us our entire lives.

I think AI is a good podcast because they give me spine chilling stores. And they tell personal story that happened in there life! And share other people’s stores like my dads ( Chris Simerly).Your podcast makes me smile and laugh.👻👽

I recently discovered these guys when there were guests on Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli. I instantly liked them. They are now one of my favorite podcasts. Highly entertaining. 👍👍👍

I’m coming from the swarm of tinfoil hat liked the episode y’all did so I came here to check out more of yall keep up the good work!

Great show very good subjects every week. The cast are fun to listen to and good ol down home southern boys that won’t leave a stone unturned. Keep it up everyone!

Podcast

Y’all keep me laughing and learning the lore during my days at work. Keep it up!

Hello Hillfolk! I really LOVE this podcast. You guys make the show so interesting and funny all the same time. I have been listening back to back episodes, and to be honest, I cannot get enough. Also I want to say that your Appalachian accent is so beautiful! I live in Atlanta, but your pronunciation sounds so beautiful and perfectly understandable. All I can say is that on every conversation, I feel that I am really there listening in person to you guys. Please continue doing what you do. Love and blessings to all each one of you.

These guys will hook you fast with the way that they break everything down & their easygoing demeanor. I quickly became a fan & you will as well! - SCJazzman / J.

Love dem hillbilly’s

I like these guys

they sound certifiable at least half the time, but man is it fun lol

This is the podcasts for me. I was hooked from the first episode I listened to. Its like sitting around the campfire talking to my friends! Keep up the awesome podcasts!

I listen to many podcasts with the subjects y’all cover. But yours is truly The Goat. Greatest of All Time. Please keep up the good work and I wish you all good health, success, happiness, and long lives. Great folks from a great part of the country. Down home and real. Many Thanks !

Man I was sooo excited to see Hellbent Holler on!

I absolutely LOVE this show! They’re a blast to listen to and not only that but they’re genuinely good folks. I appreciate how much they care and prioritize their families and you can sense it in how they treat their listeners. This is the one show I’m always looking forward to and checking for new episodes. Keep it comin!

Love the podcast. Great banter and I like The Crazy corner. They should talk about squirrels more

The A.I. guys bring it every show! Outstanding chemistry between them and any guests! Keep it up!

Born and bred in New England I didn’t know much about Appalachia until I found myself in USMC boot camp and noticed that all the coolest people I met there were either from Kentucky, West Virginia or Tennessee I do have the shared explode growing up in a spooky setting with inexplicable experiences so this podcast hits all the marks for me. I also appreciate that that Justin and Lance share their faith while still being welcoming to all who share their obsessions. 100% onboard for the kinfolk journey!

Hey AI, this podcast is amaing. I grew up the town Hellier that they made the show about and that you all talk about from time to time. Granny witches, haints, wompus cats, and all those other topics you all talk about, that's what I grew up with. I wrote a song called The Witch about an old Granny Witch that lived up in Graveyard Holler across the road from where I lived. Keep up the great work fellas. I hang on every episode. Gtownjeff

just realized I live under 3 hours away from where this stuff is taking place! WHY DID I THINK I WAS SAFE IN NORTH CAROLINA? AHHHHH!!!!!!!! Hahah just kidding- not kidding. Much love from a fellow weirdo, Katie.

Great show; if you ever wondered why people are digging for coal in the mountains these guys have it all figured out. If the podcast world was a giant cookout these are the guys who would be set up at the table farthest from everyone else and everyone else keeps staring at because they are laughing the loudest

I really enjoy the stories and your voices 👍 Really happy I found you! (I believe from a mention on Holosky)

Enjoying this podcast. Good to hear southern voices out there. Keep up the good work.

I found you guys through The Confessionals Podcast and you rank up there with Tony Merkel and Blurry Creatures in my book! I really enjoy the show! Keep up the good work!

Discovered you through Holosky, which I discovered while researching Hellier. Glad to be part of the Hill Folk! It makes me miss the mountains!! You guys are Southern storytellers…feels like growing up back home around the family shooting the breeze.

After surfing through many podcasts and only finding very few that got my interest, I stumbled across AI. By far, it has captured all my senses and brings back the Appalachian folklore that I was raised with. Thank U AI team!!! U never disappoint!! 5+ stars!!

I come across this show by listening to Coon Hunting Confidentials. I am glad I did. Everything that I have listened to so far has been very interesting and entertaining

I live in Morgan county Ohio the foothills of Appalachia we are home to famed haunted opera house Keep em coming fellas

Good stuff.. I listen on 1.5 speed it helps my brain from wandering.. All I can say is “this IS the podcast you are looking for…” (waves hand annoyingly in face)

Justin, Lance and Ryan literally open a window for us to experience high strangeness in a long storied area of America. These boys do it right! Much respect and continued success!

Writing this review from the TX Hill Country. One of my favorite podcasts. Even though we are in different regions of the country I feel like these dudes have more relatable content then most others in the genre. Spent lots of time in the TX hill country and have lots of weird stories. Keep putting it out there! Look forward to every new show! -E

Heard you guys on the Confessionals and have been binging hard ever since. I love the cadence of the conversation and your soothing accents. I like to listen as I’m going to sleep, but the stories end up freaking me out, so maybe I should rethink that! I especially love when you are able to tie in folklore and mythology. I appreciate how you discuss Irish mythology as it has been adapted by immigrants to Appalachia. I hope you can convince some of the Granny Witches or other elders you know to let you record their stories. They are priceless! You could write them up in a book like Eddie Lenihan has done with Irish elders. In the meantime, many thanks for bringing the stories through your podcast!!

Greetings from the base of the Cumberland Plateau here in East Tn. Found you all on Mark’s podcast and instantly fell in love with you guys…not in that way Ryan! I do a lot of legend tripping around the mountains of KY, NC, VA and TN and love hearing the stories about places I’ve been and plan to go! Btw, just became a sibling kinfolk.
