Show notes

I was invited to be part of this by the minds behind Minds of Madness, and it was a delight. This special episode is a mix of truth and fiction, true crime and made-up horror, brought to you by a broad range of broadcasters, including yours truly. I've tried to edit out the swearing (let me know if I missed one) but even so, this one isn't for kids.
