Halloween Nation is always an enjoyable listen. Whether they're discussing the historic elements of Halloween or revealing their unhallowed confessions (how can you not like the color orange?) Leah and Josh keep it light and entertaining. Their collective love of the holiday is reminiscent of Buddy the Elf and a Christmas. My daughter and I listen to every episode the day it is released-- and have plenty to discuss after!
Thanks for entertainment Josh and Leah.
I have known Joshua for years and his love of Halloween is deep! This is the perfect podcast for him to share that love with others
I love the wholesomeness of this podcast! The hosts are so fun and pleasant to listen to. I love anything that reminisces about Halloween nostalgia and traditions and this podcast does exactly that! :)
Love, love, LOVE listening to Joshua and Leah guide us through the ins and outs of all things Halloween! What a treasure of a podcast. For sure check it out!
This is my feel good podcast, I look forward to every release! The episode debunking the candy-tampering myth was just fascinating. The build-your-own-halloween-playlist episode was crucial. I love that Halloween Nation is equal parts spooky and whimsical, and is sprinkled with everything from historical deep dives to playlists to recipes. For the record, Joshua’s white chicken chili is killer.
