I finished two podcasts and started another one. Shorter podcasts are nice sometimes.
John From Back Home is an interesting one. The setup of this guy leaving voicemails to a childhood friend he has become obsessed with was interesting. John himself is insufferable, yet sympathetic, yet also not at the same time, which I think is an interesting balance even if it makes listening to him a frustrating experience. It takes about four episodes for him to make it to the spooky house, but once he gets there, things get pretty neat. The turn to straight up horror to fantasy horror(?) is very strange and I can see how it threw things for some people. I was a bit thrown. Though I think the themes of envy and being punished were strong ones. I'm not sure how I felt about it overall, but would still recommend it to others.
In Another Room was really good. Like I'll always question why anyone would think it's a good idea to stay in a famous murder house, but I like the fear and tension. It's also really touching in places and I like the theme of grief, as well as the idea that it's never too late to change your life. I will definitely listen try out more of Violet Hours podcasts.
Light House is one I started yesterday. Only on the first episode still, I believe, but I'm fascinated. It's tense and I'm not sure where its' going yet.
