  • Came for the ghost stories, stayed for the accents!

    I was late to this party, but glad I showed up. Only on episode 49, but can’t wait to catch up! If you like ghosts and friends talking about ghosts while they hide from their families in the basement and drinking an adult beverage, this is the pod for you!

    This quickly became my favorite podcast. Very entertaining and it’s like hanging out with old friends. Waiting in the picking up line at school (before your kids get into the car, this is important) is a great time to catch up on all the past episodes!
