Since Evergreen took over the Disturbed podcast, we've been flooded with hundreds of inquiries about Chad... so we brought him back—just for a bit.
What happened to Chad? The question echoed throughout the Disturbed-verse this past January when Evergreen Podcasts started publishing the show and introduced new host Doug. Well we’re here to assure you that Chad did not have the reigns violently ripped from his claws, nor did Big Podcast decide it was time to put him out of his misery. Beloved founder Chad decided to sell Disturbed and step back, clearing the way for Evergreen to bring the show to legions of new fans.
Change is hard, we know. Chad brought a grounded element to the otherworldly tales of terror populating the episodes. But let’s give Doug his due: while there was a brief downturn in engagement when he first began broadcasting, Doug’s theatrical style has breathed new life into Disturbed, with downloads surpassing some from the Chad era.
So Disturbed is doing what it does best - entertaining legions of horror fans and keeping way too many of them up and night. But the question remains: What happened to Chad?
Oh, you know what, here’s a new episode! The 200th, in fact! Let’s see if we can find some answers here:
Yikes. Basement? Locked-in? Chloroform? Ok, maybe we spoke too soon about Chad’s well-being. You’ll have to listen to see if he’s going to be ok.
While the episode plays, you’ll also hear the spine-tingling story of Bangladeshi cryptid that required an Islamic ceremony to banish, as well as a dog whose instinct is sharper than that of his human.
