    Q&A

    Q&A

    After the live performance of 'Melody's Story Hour' at the London Podcast Festival we had a fun Q&A with the audience about Petrified - how it came about, unusual recording methods and why, for one of us, nothing is scarier than eggs.
    To mark the end of series 3 we wanted to share that Q&A with you. The discussion was moderated by Petrified producer Liam Geraghty who is joined by cast members Michelle McMahon and Margaret McAuliffe as well as writer/director Peter Dunne.

    Recorded live at King's Place, London Sept 2022.

One of the better horror podcasts

Horror podcasts generally aren’t very good. It’s very easy for them to come off as incredibly narmy and amateurish. This is true for the horror genre as a whole, but non-visual forms of horror can really struggle with it in particular. This show isn’t perfect, but it’s way better than a lot of the other ones you’ll find. I’ve genuinely enjoyed listening to it, even if one or two stories have made me roll my eyes at parts. It’s legitimately creative and inventive so far, and isn’t just retreading old ground. It definitely scratched my itch for scary stories!
