Grave History

Please welcome episode 18, an interval between "seasons" as we work on writing, recording and editing the next episodes of spooky, macabre history. Both of your hosts are big horror fans, as you may have worked out from numerous references made throughout the podcast. So, we decided to sit down one dark and stormy evening (in 2022) to dig through our relationships with horror and movies as a whole through a series of homemade questions. As we talk A LOT, this has been broken into two halves. Part one is out now, and part two will be here next month! Please enjoy and we look forward to seeing you in our new season of spooky, morbid history!
