  • The intros gotta go

    The intros make zero sense to the actual story’s plots. They take entirely too long before they get to the actual story as well. Everything else is great.

  • Great Array of Stories from the Folks that Lived to Tell!

    Always excited when a new episode hits my feed. The first person narrative is engaging and lends an extra sense of spookiness. But… as good as the stories are, Glynn’s intros and outros are the very best!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Doves Cry
Q: Can you describe the moment you realized Lily B was communicating with you beyond ordinary behavior?
Sara explains that Lily B's repeated cupping gestures and later vocal signals during writing sessions felt like a deliberate and intelligible form of feedback, which she interpreted as mind-reading or telepathy, supported by six months of patient observation before fully accepting the depth of their connection.
Skagway - Classic
Q: Did you ever feel like, you know, a lot of these girls, like you said in the newspapers, their names were never recorded, they were kind of forgotten in a lot of ways?
Oh, I did. Every day, I did a tour, and I talked about them and what they sacrificed.
Skagway - Classic
Q: Why do you think she appeared to you guys?
I'm guessing why she chose to appear to us was because we were young women.
Boxes
Q: Have you ever been back to The Gearbox since then?
Yes, I went back to perform at a recital, but the house is now probably buried under ash.
Boxes
Q: So how did you feel when you moved out of that house?
Relieved. So happy. I was so happy. Because I lived in a constant state of terror.
