Episode 0: Prologue [Newly Remastered!] 

So happy to find a new horror podcast after finishing the magnus archives

I usually don't comment on videos, but I must say this series has been probably my favorite thing to turn on and listen too. I've been absolutely sucked into this world and it's people it's great. Being from the south myself living on the border of the Appalachians this is amazing. I also backed the TTRPG and have started writing my own adventure for my players. Can't wait for it to come in.

Once I started from this prologue I couldn't stop. I've never been much into podcasts until this. I'm hooked.

Truly adore this podcast so much, especially as someone who was born and raised in Appalachia, hearing the way people talk down on it and the gross things they say about it. Hearing something so amazing is just like a breath of fresh air. Will forever love this and what y'all have made

just stumbled across this channel, I live in Appalachia, you can feel the old gods presence all around here, some places stronger than others. there is something very "lovecraftian" here. look forward to listening to all the content.

I binged the entire show and immediately signed up for patreon after running out of episodes. 😂 thank you for such a beautifully crafted series!

Trying to get my mom into this series, as well as coaxing her to listen to The Magnus Archives. She's more likely to listen this one lol. She likes the music as well.

The mystic dark arts of the RU-vid pointed me in this direction a couple weeks ago. I still haven't gotten past Season One, the darkness keeps drawing me back to truly understand the depths of the Darkness of a Mother that seems angry, and the reasons She is. I'm going through Season One again, hoping to truly understand, before I move on to Season Two. Thank you, my new family, for inviting me to your stories, your histories and your rituals.

Ayyyyy we got Cam in there!

I read an article online that raved about this podcast, so I had to come bear witness. So far, so good🤘

Truest words ever spoken about Appalachia. The story I always tell is about when I was a little kid. I’d go out and run around in the woods unsupervised because it was the 70s and that’s just how it was. We lived in a little hollow between the peak of one ridge and the side of a much taller one. Wasn’t much of a hollow, really, more of just a depression with a narrow oil and chip road and a row of small houses. Charcoal was a major industry here in the 18th century. They clear cut the woods to make fields for growing hemp or cereal grains down in the valleys. Up in the ridges they’d log ‘em out on big 20 year rotations until our two modern major industries came in: Prisons and fiberglass. The woods recovered fairly quickly. They were wild but still young. Every once in a while though, you’d find a grove of old growth trees just sitting there like they forgot to log it. Then you’d cross some invisible barrier and you’d know… The didn’t *forget* this place. They *avoided* it. The hair would stand back all the way down your spine and you’d know in some way you couldn’t define, that you were *not* welcome here. Nobody had to tell us about these places. In fact, hardly anyone would ever talk about it at all and never with outsiders. But we knew… somehow we just *knew* and we stayed away.

Dude, so glad I found this channel. The way you narrate the videos is extremely intriguing and makes me want to keep listening. Subbed!

I just bought cabin in the Appalachian in Wv ..love love love

Totally spell bound love it. Subbed.

I ordered the Tabletop RPG and while I am waiting for the book. Now I am immersing myself in the lore so I can set up a good game.

The writing and presentation are truly inspired.

Im afraid of everything that moves, i dont know why the fuck im even here!😂😂😂😂

Roll Tide from the foothills of Appalachia!

I've never listened to a podcast series...I am now hooked with this one!!

Love this series! One of my absolute favorites, and reminds me of home.

North Carolina...makes me want to beat my chest!!!!WHOOO!

OH MAN! That one gave me goosebumps!I love these stories ❤

Intense! Beautiful. I'm hooked!

Back again for another listen of my favouurite series of bedtime stories :)

Im finally home

Just discovered this after dork tales just started doing live play of the rpg

Reddit brought me here!

Thank you for pronouncing it the way you do. Drives me nuts how many are from Appalachia and pronounce it wrong (looking at you, bitter southerner nyc)

I’m not at all sure how “alternative” it is…. Not sure at all.🐝❤️🤗

Many thanks to Miss Miagi for telling me about this channel. How can I not be fascinated by a place where the locals are scarier than any cryptid or ghost ? If I'm not mistaken Andrew Jackson was Appalachian and any culture that can produce such a perfect blend of genius and madman is a place I want to know about. Is that theme song by the Handsome Family ?

Clint Mephisto brought me here

Had to come out to the video because there's no way to comment on a podcast episode on spotify. Before even a single word about the podcast itself is spoken, having three solid minutes of ads and asking for donations on your episode 0, where people are just trying to quickly figure out if they're interested in listening or not, is not a great look. I guarantee you've turned away dozens of people that would otherwise love your podcast that way. I don't know how much control you have over that, but consider releasing a remastered version onto podcast services that skips straight to it, like this video.

og was better, imo
