February 09, 2019 17:15 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBCan you honestly say you've never been to a truck stop bathroom that struck fear into your heart? Or spoke to a gas station attendant you were absolutely convinced had somehow signed a pact with the old gods to ensure his prices were always higher than the next closest station 20 miles down the road?

March 10, 2018 01:38 - 1 hour - 30.6 MBWhat was that, over your shoulder? Oh, it was nothing. I could swear I saw a person in the mirror earlier, but I’m sure it was just my imagination. I wish you’d get the plumbing fixed here, it always seems like babies are screaming in the walls at night. It’s always easy to run away from a haunted house when you don’t live in it, but for the rest of us, not so much. So why don’t we talk about it?

Episode 6: Ghoul's Night Out
March 09, 2018 14:34 - 53 minutes - 50.4 MBA quick note before we launch into this week's episode. When you are recording something, always remember that the most essential element is actively hitting the record button. Just...you know...keep that in mind.
