Sn2. Ep. 4: A conversation with Jim Harold: Children's Spooky Stories and the Power of Engaging Books
This episode is devoted to the allure of children’s spooky stories and was loads of fun for me to plan for.
Jim Harold is an accomplished podcaster. In fact, Jim started podcasting in 2005 and is one of the first to begin publishing in this format! We discuss our favorite spooky stories, why it's important to engage children's interests through reading, and stories that have made an impact on us.
A published author of the Campfire series, you can purchase all five books at http://jimharoldbooks.com/ and on Amazon.com
If you love spooky stories like I do, then you’ll love the Paranormal Podcast and Jim Harold’s Campfire, along with Unpleasant Dreams! Follow this link for all podcast offerings, merch, books, and show signup: https://jimharold.com/jims-podcasts/
