My little space in the interwebs.
The Lovecraft Investigations is a mystery thriller/horror podcast series in the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft stories. Made in the pseudo-documentary style where it tries to make you believe the events are real and happening in real time. If you like the occult this is a good one.
This is a real gem. Midnight Burger is the story of a “time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner”. It is science fiction at its quirky and campy-est. The writing is superb, as is the voice acting.

With Halloween approaching, here is a fantastic Halloween podcast: 13 Days of Halloween All four seasons are good.

It has been interesting to listen to more traditionally conservative (i.e., not Trump republican) view on current events. I recommend it. Episode 457 covered the Kansas…
