This is the first time I've heard about the podcasts. The Halloween podcast was great. The voices of the narrators are romantically beautiful which is a strange way to dicribe under the Halloween auspice. Please continue these podcasts. Thanks guys.

Great job flying solo Frank.

Great job flying solo Frank. :) Gwen, missed you very much and sending you good wishes.

How wonderful to hear great guests again.

I would like to “meet” Isaiah in a picture, though I respect if he refuses. I liked the whole podcast, my favorite part was the book he recommended for people who never or almost never read horror, since that would be me. You very possibly interviewed a great book writer before he became famous :) I saw Gwen yesterday at her NYPL recommends Facebook live, so I managed to get both my Frank and Gwen fix for the week. You are so fantastic.
