Love it

As a fellow creeper, I like this podcast a lot. It’s factually based, and offers resources like books if the topic is interesting and you want to look further into it. The background music in addition to the topics scared the s$it out of me and I pride myself on not getting easily startled by things like this. I enjoy that the podcast is brief enough to share a good deal of information but not so long that it drags on and gets boring. Keep up the good work!! More episodes please!!!
