United States16 days ago - When good Occult Orders get mixed up with bad people
As someone with many years of experience in Occult Orders, I can confirm that this sort of thing happens frequently. Walking cases of Borderline Personality Disorder wedge their way in and ruin everything. It’s nice to hear Alfred has somewhat recovered from this harrowing experience.
Apple Podcasts5Holy MountaineerUnited Statesa month ago This story feels very thorough, respectfully written, and good reminder to always be looking out for your loved ones. Hopefully this kind of psychosis is rare, but it's good to keep an eye out for it.

This is super well done and brings light important issues such as coercive control and elder abuse.
Apple Podcasts5catmcaranUnited States2 months ago - Why are they so dull
