This past year, horror podcasts kinda saved my butt.
2020 was tough for me, like it was for everyone.
The pandemic, a pretty ghastly backdrop for two of the biggest personal “events” of my life.
Unknowingly, the horror community helped me through it.

I walked the neighbourhood with my dog, listening to hours of horror podcasts that made me feel amongst the community, despite being so physically isolated from my family and friends.
They brought me a lot of fun and joy and peace.
They brought me a lot of fun and joy and peace.
They also helped me tackle that oh-so terrible problem of "GAH, there are TOO MANY MOVIES TO WATCH, what shall I hit play on?"
If I’m endlessly scrolling trying to find a movie for the night, I now consult my fave pods, see what they’ve covered, and pick one of those.
