Jddesp · Jan 2024

I started listening to Weekly Spooky last year in October and since then have listened to every episode in the backlog to current, I look forward to Wednesday’s and Fridays every week to see what spooky tale one of the authors has come up with! There’s always something new every day in October and when “spooky season” is over, creepy Christmas begins. This show has everything and it is overwhelmingly entertaining!
