For the ask deluge: what are some podcasts you're into? Have you checked out 'Unwell' at all? I highly recommend it if not, especially if you liked TMA!

Ooooohhhh, I will 100% check that one out, thank you!  It sounds like something we’d enjoy!

We just started Old Gods of Appalachia and it’s got me having all kinds of Large Feelings, no small part of which is just blazing, white-hot envy at the quality of the prose and how I didn’t write it. SO good.

The Penumbra Podcast is probably my second fave behind Magnus Archives. I love Juno Steel, I relate to him a lot more than I probably should. I haven’t listened to the latest season because I love it so much I’m literally afraid to listen to it because what if it goes badly for them and Juno and Peter are never together the way they SHOULD BE?!

I liked Spines, a horror/sci-fi/weird podcast.  it was incredibly moving at the end.

I liked The White Vault. I can’t take David Ault seriously, but I do enjoy him, and the other VAs were excellent.

Welcome to Night Vale, obviously, is nice, but I am YEARS behind.

Limetown is one of the best horror/sci fi podcasts I’ve ever listened to, it’s an extraordinary work of fiction, and I highly recommend it.  No idea if the TV series thing they did was any good.

Point Mystic is SO cool and nobody has heard of it? Give the first season a listen, it’s like a weird Stephen King horror novel with kid protagonists, only told from the point of view of the adults. It’s really cool.

I LOVED The Black Tapes until it flubbed the last season with what felt like really rushed and inattentive writing and fouled up the ending in a huge way. Still mad! Still REAL MAD over here!  I need to look and see if anyone’s done any good fix-it fic and actually written a final season that works.

I LOVE Sawbones! So much! Sydnee is the absolute best, and I have learned so much. Their COVID coverage has been extraordinary. Like, they saw the chance to become science communicators for the pandemic to their audience and they went with it, and I am so grateful that they’ve turned over so much of their show to it even though it cuts into the “fun” factor. I think they’ve done a lot to help demystify and explain what’s going on in an accessible, respectful, honest way, and I am very proud of them.

The Feast is really neat, if you’re into food and history.

I love Lore, I love Cabinet of Curiosities, I love Unobscured.  We’ve been with Lore since the single digit episodes, and seeing Aaron build his brand like this has been incredible and inspirational, and I love his narrative style.

Unexplained is a great podcast for weird occurrences and true crime. I love the narrator’s voice to pieces but it puts my GF to sleep because he’s so pleasant. His trio of Season 3 episodes on Jack Parsons, the rocket scientist and ritual magician, were so good I’ve listened to them like four times. (But I find Parsons really interesting.)

Man in the Window, about the Golden State Killer, is...honestly spectacular and important, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Morbid is enjoyable true crime and I personally love it because I also am a chaotic disaster much like the hostesses, but it’s not for everyone. If you want a more sedate, narrative, scripted podcast, you should skip Morbid. Mostly I love the Listener Tales episodes and hope that some of my experiences will appear on there someday, once I’ve sent them in.

Unresolved is consistently good for true crime. The narrator is not a professional radio voice type, he sounds like someone’s nephew, but he puts a lot into it, and I live for the times he very calmly swears up a blue streak about terrible people and societal injustice. It’s like hearing the school librarian swearing at someone.

Someone Knows Something is a must-listen. All seasons. It’s investigative, covering cold cases, and it’s just really fucking good.  Actually, every single true crime podcast from CBC has been stellar, please look into them.

Just started True North True Crime and Red Flags, both of which are really good so far.

And finally, The Bilbcast, which is just the creator’s cat Bilbo purring. It’s really good, just so good, because Bilbo is a very good boy.

Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?

As the survivor of a bee swarm, I think I can safely say the latter. Like, this is a no brainer, right? A bear can kill you with one swipe of its paw. Even if you’re allergic to bees I think this one is pretty easy to call.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Ooh, this one’s tough. I feel like I have a lot of pet peeves but I’m terrible at coming up with things that aren’t already at the forefront of my mind. Right now I guess it would be people bothering me for no real reason/inadvertently. Like people at work carrying on hour long personal calls or asking me to do things they could easily do themselves or asking my questions I’ve already answered.

What is your Song of the week?

I’ve been listening to a lot of different stuff but I notably had Red Right Ankle by the Decemberists stuck in my head for like the entire day on Wednesday.

What movies could you watch over and over and still love?

Lol I have SUCH a high tolerance to see things over and over. Pretty much any Disney movie I have watched about twenty times. I can always spare time for Strictly Ballroom, The Road to El Dorado, many romcoms (faves being You’ve Got Mail, Sweet Home Alabama, Chasing Liberty, etc), and last but not least the Lord of the Ring movies. There’s def more but I feel like this is getting embarrassing.

When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?

A lot of different animals? There’s a really cute pic of me as a mouse as a two year old, ngl. I’ve also been a cat, a ladybug and a dalmatian.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Nah.
