- Educational, Eerie & Earnest!
Not sure why I went for alliteration in the title…but anyway! Fantastic podcast, Genevieve has a wonderfully calming voice that works beautifully against morbid topics. I always come away from listening feeling like I’ve learned something but also oddly comforted…and a little creeps out, so perfect in my books!

I just started listening not long ago, and I love the ambiance of some of the episodes that feels like an old radio show. The sound effects of making it feel like we were in an old cemetery were wonderful. I’m hoping there’s more of that too come, feels so immersive.
