    108 - An Interview with Susan Blommaert

    Liz and Helen talk with Susan Blommaert, the incredible actor who portrayed Mrs. Paddock in the terrifying X-Files episode "Die Hand Die Verletzt." We particularly love her take on Mrs. Paddock's nature, plus, listen for a great story about a note she sent to Dan Butler when they were in Vancouver to film. Thank you again, Susan! 💚👽💚👽💚 Find more info about Helen and Liz at our podcast website: wewanttobelievepod.com Follow us on Instagram: @WeWanttoBelievePod Email us with your questions, thoughts, or your own spooky X-files-style experiences here: wewanttobelievepod@gmail.com Buy Liz's young adult novel, Mighty Millie Novak, anywhere you buy books, or start here: elizabeth-holden.com/millie.html Support Helen and Zach's charity, The Marigold Foundation: https://www.themarigoldfoundation.org/
