Shadows at the Door

S1E01 - Leave a Light On For Me

Shadows at the Door

Show Notes

We begin our anthology podcast with a professor. A man convinced that the supernatural is simply a failure of reason. He travels to a quiet seaside town, where the sea is calm, the streets are still, and certainty begins to quietly erode.

This is a remake of our original S1E01 production, for more information check out the discussion section.
