Frozen Head

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid.

When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next.

    The second host ruins it
    This podcast has so much potential but the second, useless host, that just pretty much says stupid things to “chime in” and cheesy sound bites ruins what would be a decent podcast. “Alcor?!?!? That sounds like a brand of TuNa FiSh! No, you’re thinking of albacore!” Soooo stupid. C’mon guys.

    Interesting….
    I deliver mail in Scottsdale and I’ve delivered to Alcor….its really disappointing to actually visit but the pod is good….guess as a native I’ve just grown use to it.

    Scripted right down to reactions
    Totally scripted. Even reactions from the other not telling the story is scripted. No off the cuff discussions that make Morbid so fun.
  • ESisler
    LOVE LOVE LOVE!
    Ash and Alaina are so fun to listen to! Been a fan of MORBID for a few years and this is awesome to have a whole series to listen to. Super interesting I used to work with liquid nitrogen in a lab and always thought "wow these are just like giant cryogenic hot tubs for dead people" except we only kept samples frozen in there. But I thought about these cryogenics people all the time! Fascinating!
  • lahnia
    Well..
    It takes skill to tell a story, let alone having 2 hosts. Wished the storytelling and interviews were allowed to flow without sound bites.
  • Supermalq
    Boo
    Joking and laughing. Stupid scripts. Get a comedy show and stop ruining good subjects.
  • Hezdale
    Five stars!!!
    Our Morbid ladies strait did this one some major JUSTICE!!! Great show, well researched and very informative… u know, in a totally morbid way! LOL
  • ARSA11
    Wish there was more!
    Loved listening tk this while waiting for Morbid episodes to be released. Super wish there was more episodes it was different and really a treat to learn about something new
  • Cutienic
    Loved this!!!
    Super fascinating stuff!! Keep up the amazing work!!!

    Awesome series
    Just finished a day long binge of this series as well as the bonus episode during my work day. I don’t get the bad reviews. Yes, it was scripted. Unsolved Mysteries is scripted. It’s a narration rather than a story telling experience. The subject was so interesting and I just loved Jim’s input. The delivery was great and the gals did an awesome job. I’d like to hear more series like this from them.

    Why
    Why do you keep giving these women a platform?
  • MTOH113
    Wanted to like it but it’s really bad
    I just think Ash and Alaina are not suited to a heavily scripted format. This is an interesting story but I couldn’t listen past episode 1. Alaina should have taken this one on her own.
  • templewrangler
    Morbid crew is great!
    I was surprised to see the lower review but love the A ladies so I listened anyways. The first ep has some growing pains but the majority of the series is really interesting and I binged the entire season whilst going about my day. Worth a listen!
  • MelK64
    Wow.
    There are a lot of negative reviews. I liked it. And it’s such a bizarre subject - cryogenics. And there are some really funny situations. Sad though knowing all these weirdos have families. Oh well. Again, I enjoyed it a lot.
  • mollywinch
    This makes me sad
    I’m giving it three stars because I LOVE Morbid and I LOVE Ash and Alaina, and I don’t want to rate them too low. They’re two of the funniest, most entertaining people I’ve ever listened to. That being said, whoever wrote this podcast did so to their detriment. They took away the natural charm that Ash and Alaina have and it sounds more like someone wrote a poor fanfiction version of the two of them. I wish they had let the girls just be themselves instead of scripting them, because this would’ve been much better. I saw one reviewer say this makes them not want to listen to Morbid, to which I say, don’t let this deter you. Morbid is nothing like this.
  • Demonlover10
    Eh
    Subject matter was interesting but it’s way too scripted and the music/sound effects ruin it. Can’t listen to anymore of it.
  • curious2!
    Off
    This story is very interesting, and I can’t get past the fact that these hosts are laughing and joking about people who are deceased as if they have no value whatsoever. Disturbing.
  • catradish
    Wanted to liked - but really bad
    I hoped this would be an entertaining weird story, but after the first episode it is so tedious - badly written, badly narrated, and there isn’t much of a plot - one of the worst podcasts I’ve come across, and I listen to a lot.
  • CrimeHound48
    Great Show!
    Super interesting story! Love the storytellers too! Great job girls!
  • Anya Nen Z
    Great listen!
    Love you guys! I’m so happy for your success and the way you are exploring and developing! Can’t wait to see what’s next! I’m a long time Morbid lover and I just adore your energy and passion! Frozen Heads was a crazy thing to listen! I’ve never heard about such a thing and as Ash said, don’t be weird like.. that 😉 Best of luck on all of your endeavours! 😎
  • Dzd29
    Interesting but hosts are hard to listen to!
    The topic was interesting, but it was hard to handle the hosts. I almost deleted the whole series 3 minutes into episode 1. I’m glad I stuck with it, however, the hosts need to cut all the canned banter. They also need to stop trying to be funny. It was so painful to listen to them, I was wishing I was cryogenically frozen. Stick to the content. You’re not a personality.
  • NurseCS93
    It feels stiff
    I’m a avid morbid listener and this is a very interesting topic, but it’s kind of hard to listen to because it is so scripted. I love how Ash and Alaina interact with each other naturally, but this feels so stiff and scripted that it is hard to listen to. I’m still going to give it a try because I’m interested in the topic, but I hope that it starts to sound a little more natural like Ash and Alaina normally are.
  • Ancipitalme
    Fun listen
    This podcast was a fun and interesting listen. Definitely a peek into a world and topic not a lot of us are involved with. It was well produced and the hosts were engaging. It felt like it lost a bit of steam at the end. It was a bit anti-climatic with how things ended between the Pilgrims and the cryo company. Worth listening to, though, despite how many ad breaks there were.
  • lil’ peter
    Annoying narrators scuttle the story
    I tried to listen, thinking the elements were there for an interesting story. Then as it began I realized the narration was being done by two people with very similar voices who think they’re funny. The problem with that setup soon became clear. They feel the need to interact, and they think everything they say is hilarious, and so when one says something, the other one jumps in with some pre-written needless comment like “ooh, story time!” To which I say, “not for me”. If I want to listen to two people yukking it up there are thousands of options out there.

    Compelling
    Enjoying episode 7! Thank you. You are awesome
  • eyedocwa
    Mindless chit chat
    Tell a story or be a comedian, but you can’t do both. I got about 5 minutes into this and can understand why this is below 4 stars. Just elected to move on to something else. I’ll be kind and close here.
  • Young.Neil
    Ad libbing Ash
    I was very much looking forward to this intriguing topic but checked out to due to the insufferable scripted ad libs which detracted from any trace of journalism and storytelling. Will anxiously await for another podcast network to tackle this phenomenon with less tongue in cheek.
  • Sheltonv
    Episode 6
    Why won’t episode 6 play? Says published feb 20…
  • kjfdg
    Cool format
    This is a cool mix of a scripted true crime podcast and a relaxed storytelling style podcast. Easy to listen to, but also well researched and well presented.
  • LarryDeath
    Couldn’t stop listening.
    So interesting! I still can’t stop thinking about this whole concept. I want to hear more. I binged all six episodes in a day!
  • Esmeralda6070
    I loved it
    It was scripted but I didn’t think that was a bad thing. The whole story was so interesting to listen to and learn about. It was a very fun listen! Love these girls!
  • viv lover
    Don’t bother. Last episode couldn’t be accessed by me
    Don’t bother
  • DJS1717
    Ash?
    Interesting story but the Ash character is an absolute waste of breath. Her commentary is so unnecessary and annoying, I checked out after episode 2. It makes me never want to check out Morbid if this is the way it is too. I can’t get back this 1 hr of my life, horrible and annoying for the 2nd time.
  • 1Mary007
    Great show
    Love these two girls and this podcast- frozen heads was excellent!!
  • Melissa from SC
    Impressed
    Oddly, I loved it. What I mean by this, is that my attention span isn’t very good. I enjoyed every episode and couldn’t wait to get to the end.
  • Lornbreit
    Different but still good!
    So many people are comparing it to morbid and they are mad that it’s scripted, but it’s a different podcast so I think they’re allowed to try something new, and they pull it off!! The story is very interesting and well researched. I have really enjoyed listening!
  • ladiena
    Morbid gals do it again - bada bing bada boom
    All I can say is you either get it or you don’t (#morbid4eva). This story is so intriguing and wild and I love the format of the show. I find the scripted Ash add-ins perfect and hilarious. Keep it up, everything you touch turns to content gold 👏
  • Nikks456
    Too scripted
    Wanted to like it, but as others have said, too scripted. Cheesy and unfortunately, not for me.
  • 0 Anonymous12447
    Too much commentary
    I love the interesting topic but find the random commentary annoying. I was looking for more facts then the host’s opinions.
  • cates7718
    Great Story But….
    Love the subject matter and love the ladies from Morbid. However, wish it wasn’t so scripted and Ash had more involvement in story telling than little quips. Listened to support Alaina and Ash but I found it hard to get through as written and told.
  • jesshereforfun
    Cheesy Commentary
    Good story but not well articulated. The commentary from ash is unnecessary and they both sound scripted.
  • h.a. wright
    Great story telling
    Ash and Alaina, ya done good girls.
  • Ace4490
    4 stars 🦃💯
    The series was a good run. I liked how it all circled back to the first episode. I’d consider it more of a series revolving around Alcor, the Lawrence’s/Jim, and Mikey Darwin. The only part I’d say is off is the speech speed. Seems like both Alaina and Ash were slowed down when they started editing. I only know because I’ve accidentally set the speed a few times to 75%. More dark an ominous I guess but it felt off. Either that or it was straight script reading. Other than that, I loved the series. I managed to finish all 6 in one working day with instacart ✌️
  • SCValles
    Love the hosts!
    I would have never even thought about listening to this episode if it weren’t for Alaina and Ash hosting it. They’re really insightful and I love their commentary. It’s helps keeps me engaged.
  • kfhhdbtkfhd
    Wildly fascinating!
    Thanks for the amazing content, ladies! You two entertain me through my long work days! Can’t wait for more content from you two :)
  • Drre3a
    Unnecessary commentary
    An interesting topic, wrapped in random fillers, and packed with unintelligent remarks. I believe even one star is too generous of a rating ….
  • Specialperson333
    A Script…? Really?
    So, as I’m falling out of love with Morbid, which I was a DIE HARD fan for the last year when I found them,( I binged 200+ eps in 6 months maybe) I thought I’d try this. But sadly, the girls that I used to know & love are no more 😩 They became so unauthentic, but I was hoping that, new pod, old girls. But that’s not the case. And I NEVER EVER expected a script! Come on ladies, come back to your true underdog, give it 110%, leave it all on the field, selves that we’re building something with love & dedication. Not, yay I’m rich now, I just follow scripts. Great premise, fascinating subject, but Ash & Alaina need to put down the mics, & that soooo hurts to say. 😞
  • Rii13579
    I cringe at the one liners
    I’m finding the bulk of this podcast well researched and interesting. However, the one liners are just so unthoughtful and often times over shadow the seriousness of the content.
  • DeeSimmon1
    Captivating
    This series has got me! I can't wait to find out what happens next. As always Ash and Alaina bring the heat. Love, love, love it!!
