Customer Reviews
Cozy Pocket of Halloween
If you are an Autumn soul, you will adore this podcast. It’s full of tales of Halloween through the ages. I’ve learned so much about the history and lore of Halloween, but it’s much more than that. We get to hear from listeners around the world who experience Halloween from different backgrounds and different budgets and from different points in time. Luce is a lovely host, the music and production quality can be both inviting and spine tingling (depending on the topic at hand), and overall this is such an enjoyable listen all year round. - sarah_is_spooky
One episode in and I already love it!!
I recently found this podcast on Spotify while I was browsing for some to scratch the Halloween itch I’ve been having all summer and this show is just what I need. It’s so much fun hearing listener stories and getting fun ideas for the spooky season. I will definitely be listening to this for the foreseeable future!
The Coziest and Halloweeniest Podcast!
It’s Always Halloween is my favorite podcast. It feels like a pumpkin spice latte on a cold, Autumn morning. Super cozy and Lucé has a very calming voice. It’s the only thing that can cozy me in bed and make me fall asleep on insomniac nights. I’ve been listening for 3 years, and I hope it never ends!! 🎃🍂
