**Strange Studies of Strange Stories**

We’ve been creating podcasts since 2009 – first The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and now Strange Studies of Strange Stories! Each week, hosts Chad Fifer and Chris Lackey discuss a piece of genre fiction. Talented voice actors bring the text to life. Music and sound effects create atmosphere while occasional guest experts show up to make things classy. One free show a month and four more for Patreon subscribers!
