  • Hello from the UK

    Really enjoy listening to your podcast, helps me get through my workday and always gets me in the mood for Halloween.

    Being from the UK it’s hard to find many celebrations around the holiday and I would love to experience the holiday in the US one day.

    Thankyou for all your hard work.

    All the best, Ollie

  • The best!

    This is the best Halloween podcast I listen to. I love that they talk about some history behind the holiday, some nostalgia, and current information also. Code Orange is probably my favorite part. The hosts are well informed and the entire show is presented in an organized fashion and well researched.
