Listening to: It's Always Halloween Podcast

This wonderful weekly podcast by Lucé Tomlin-Brenner has become a quick favorite of mine.  The podcast consists of two kinds of episodes... There are Halloween history episodes, where Lucé shares the historical facts, stories, and cultural impact of certain Halloween-related topics, such as skeletons, witches, trick-or-treating, etc.

Then there are the Small Frights episodes.  Each week, listeners call in or write an "EEEEKmail" to the podcast, and their messages are read/played by Lucé every Friday.  This has lead to a very inclusive sense of community, were like-minded Halloween fanatics can share their stories and seasonal musings in one place.

I really love that this is a Halloween podcast, not simply a horror podcast.  On this podcast, plenty of emphasis is placed on the not-so-spooky side of the holiday, which often goes underappreciated.  

If you want to be put in a fun seasonal mood, click the image below to go to their Anchor.fm page, where you can find links to listen on your preferred platform.
