Part of the fun of being an independently produced podcast is finding out after the fact that your mic was actively crapping out during recording! Efforts have been made to clean up my audio, but THANKFULLY our guest J.W. Ocker comes through loud and clear!

Book cover titled 'Don't Go There: A Tour of the World's Most Sinister Spots' by J.W. Ocker, featuring illustrations of various eerie locations.
