They said this project would be WORK. I had no idea, truly, how much until I got into the trenches. However, these chats are so meaningful to me, with eye-opening moments of learning, that I'm gonna try and keep it up as long as I can. Hoping it all means something to you too.

New episode, early Wednesday am! Trevor is awesome and so is his new book, SCAREWAVES, out next week! Give a listen and preorder your copy NOW.

You’re gonna want this. Trust me.

Late tonight, a new episode with author, Russell Ginns. We're chatting INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS from 1978. Tune in to find out how *not* to get snatched! ourfirstfears.buzzsprout.com/share

I think it must be something to do with USHER in the air - but my episode with Mike Flanagan is doing big numbers this week. In case you don't know, Mike came on the show this summer to talk about everything from Usher to The Life of Chuck and even The Dark Tower.

NEW EPISODE! Author of Ravenous Things, @DerrickChow2 and I show our love for Shelley and her *probably* unintentionally terrifying TV show from the 1980s, Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre. How are fairy tales like slasher films? Find out! ourfirstfears.buzzsprout.com/share

Happy Halloween! New episode alert. Chatting with acclaimed author and pinball wizard, Sara Farizan (is here once a week), about Halloween III: Season of the Witch, as well as her novel, Dead Flip, which is an homage to pop-culture fears from the 80s & 90s. ourfirstfears.buzzsprout.com/share

I told myself I could't buy any more books this year after picking up almost 20 in the past month. But I'm gonna have to make an exception for this one! Congratulations, @tananarivedue.bsky.social!

Hey, look! There’s an awesome new episode out today… @TraceyBaptiste shows me around the creepiest corners of her Caribbean childhood, and shares some very scary jumbie lore. Listen here: ourfirstfears.buzzsprout.com/share

And I was there to listen! Really fun chat.

Oh look my latest episode is out. Talking Scared Podcast joins me to chat why The Terminator scared him so badly when he was 7! Listen here: ourfirstfears.buzzsprout.com/share

Pretty sure this will be the last interview-style episode for awhile, as I duck my head to concentrate on deadlines. But stayed tuned, as I hope to continue smaller surprises in the coming weeks. So happy to go out on this chat; a new favorite w @DanielDKraus.

First new episode in almost a year… Talking James Cameron’s Aliens with author, Eliot Schrefer… Eliot Schrefer 🌈. Give a listen, and let us know what you think. ourfirstfears.buzzsprout.com
