Stafford Hour
Somewhere may seem like a quaint little surreal suburb - but deep down, it's a city that likes to sink its teeth into you. Especially if you're a hotshot camera-headed rookie investigator with everything to prove and nothing to lose. That's right, it's Stafford Hour.
Starring Ian of Shrimp and Crits as Stafford, The Investigator
Content warnings: surreality, smoking, drug use and addiction themes, alcohol use, paranoia, betrayal

Customer Reviews
Nobody likes Dorian
But Leon is awesome and so is the main cast and I am HOOKED I tell you, HOOKED. I’m still on the first season and it’s amazing… these monsters give me the chills and the comedy is wonderful. I am most definitely hyper fixated and will be making so much fanart.
Binge-worthy podcast
On Episode 9 of Season 1 and I can’t get enough. Well played by everyone and totally entertaining stories and characters. It’s my first introduction to MotW and I couldn’t ask for a better way to inspire me to find my own MotW group. A great listen.
Amazing show
The Show is Amazing season 1 was phenominal both the players and the keeper were fun and entertainig to listen to and so far season 2 has had me laughing all the way so far
