And that is the scientific reason the Appalachians are haunted as hell.

Was thinking of this pod while reading the post. So good

As someone who reads much more than listens to podcasts, I've wanted to get into this series for years now, but it feels like I never have enough time, especially as I'm not sure my wife would be onboard with the idea of an audio serial.

Then again, it is spooky season, so now's the time to pitch it, I guess. Any suggestions for diving in for a podcast novice who has a negligible commute and small kids at home? My kids are not sheltered but any stretch, but are probably too young for eldritch horror.

Edit: really, it's the same issue I have with Critical Role; it sounds great to me, but finding enough time on my own to be able to get into it is way harder than reading a book.

Headphones. Listen while you do dishes or other chores, or while taking a walk at lunchtime.

While working or taking a walk during lunch might be the best option. I like the idea of listening while I do chores, but I almost always have the kids home with me when I'm working around the house, and they're too young yet for me to be able to put on headphones.

Plus, as much as I'd love to get into this series, I love the time I get to spend blasting music throughout the house and having dance parties while we tidy up, so I don't really want to give that up. IMHO, there's nothing better than the feeling when your kids request one of your favorite records by name
