On to my podcast picks this week... (there is a fun one at the end)
Haunted Places Podcast
I am becoming a fan of the specific episodes Urban Legends in the Haunted Places podcast. These are urban legends I heard about growing up and feel all too real. The Slasher Under the Car - is one of those urban legends. Who didn’t check under the car for a good couple of years? 🙋
Ugh.

Snap Judgement: Spooked
Spooked is another one that is getting me hooked on the first person storytelling. New subscriber, Safoora B. recommends the episode, “Unholy Water.” There are two a stories in that episode and she recommends the second one call Hot Water. It starts at the 19 minute mark.
She said, “This was actually the first episode of Spooked I listened to that got me hooked on the Podcast.”
Silly college coeds going to a hot springs…what could possibly happen?

P.S. I just finished listening to this episode at night. UGH(good ugh). Recommended with headphones in quiet area.

The Michelle Obama Podcast
Spotify’s exclusive The Michelle Obama Podcast is now free on most podcast platforms after it “performed” on Spotify over the summer.
The company hasn’t detailed which platforms will have the show, but it’s in conversations with several, including Stitcher, Google, Apple, and iHeart. A Spotify spokesperson says future seasons, if the show’s renewed, will “debut exclusively” on Spotify, but didn’t say whether the show will be windowed or fully exclusive to the service.” - The Verge
I listened to the first episode back when it was released and if you like the Obama’s, you’ll enjoy their conversation.
"The way that they talk to people and about people, and about themselves is not only revealing, but life-affirming. The amount of love and goodwill that they’ve earned during their time in public life is tantamount to the respect and honor that they’ve given back. I can tell you that the episode brought me so much joy that I wanted to share it with everyone... " wrote Joshua Dudley from Forbes.
"And so it turns out that The Michelle Obama Podcast is entirely worth your time, not least because its host’s worldview remains largely one of optimism even while acknowledging the challenges the world is facing right now. But this being the Obamas, it leaves the listener with a warm glow and a sense that people aren’t so awful after all." - Fiona Sturges from the Financial Times.
About: The Michelle Obama Podcast features the former First Lady diving deep into conversations with loved ones—family, friends, and colleagues—on the relationships in our lives that make us who we are.
