I love the HTGS podcast. The guys put in a tremendous amount of work into the show. The research, the history, the music, the spookiness, and the banter makes for a most excellent podcast. The chat community on Tuesday night and the discord community enhance the podcast and the fun. This podcast just gets better and better!
