  • A Podcast That Brings Guests On To Help Against the Stigma

    I'm fairly new to listening to this podcast from Allison Broder. Its premise is simply amazing in the respect that she invites guests who are into the Horror film genre for different reasons. I've been new to the Horror community for about three years now, and I approach it through the storytelling and worldbuilding potential and rich lore that this genre could have just like sci-fi and other genres. For me, Horror is more than it's gore and slicing and dicing. To be brief, I champion a controve... more

  • Out of all the horror options, why this one?

    Allison’s short form interview style leaves nothing to be desired. She does her homework, allows her guests to champion their positions, and gets down into the “what” and the “why” of horror, presenting a new take on an old concept: why do we love being scared? Pound for pound, the most consistent podcast week after week, with just enough fluff to give the podcast body, but little enough to allow it to have soul.
