This podcast started technically back in May, with our first episode airing in June. I wanted to start once I had everthing "perfect", but learned quickly that "perfect" would never be achieved and not even understood until I stepped out and just did the thing. I was going to have to simply start and accept the trial and error.

As time has progressed, we've reached just over 1000 listeners combined on 8 different streaming platforms! I've learned what works in an episode, what DOESN'T work in an episode, what listeners prefer hearing... and what technical pieces of equipment couls make this BETTER!

So, for the next few weeks, I'll be taking a short break, upgrading equipment and tools as well as carving out stronger episode ideas and guest options. I'm excited!

I invite you to check out my previous episodes from June through October in the meantime, share with your local friends... and if you have suggestions, feel free to send them!

I will be announcing a few of our platform changes in the coming weeks and sharing the upgrades in SOUND, to meet your listening standards! 🎙🎧

Thanks so much for the support you've given so far! It's been unbelievable and I am sincerely shocked!

Who's ready for a spooky good time?👻

Join me as I sit down with Crossville’s own historian and folklore enthusiast, Terry Curran, and the lively The Historic Palace Theatre - Crossville, Tennessee administrator, Malena Jackson Fisher!! Terry, known for her captivating folklore tales once shared on DOWNTOWN CROSSVILLE INC. tours, brings spine-tingling stories of haunted landmarks, mysterious occurrences, and local ghost lore. Malena, with her own stash of spectral tales from the theater, stirs up the fun with her mischievous humor and love for Crossville’s spooky side.

It’s an episode packed with local haunts, spooky laughs, and all the Halloween vibes—perfect for a cozy night in or a scenic autumn drive! 🎃🍁🍂
