Halloween is just around the corner and your trick or treat bags aren't quite full yet so we wanted to give you one more spooky season treat! We hope you enjoy this collaboration episode as much as we enjoyed being involved in it.

Welcome back,

When we last left off, our hosts were in a

perilous position, coming to you from an

abandoned radio station with a Halloween

broadcast that had gone awry.

Forced to continue the show (and continue enduring some seriously unsettling tales recorded by their friends in the Collective), the entity on the phone has not only started to make those stories a reality,

but It has now begun to learn

who they are..

All hopes of escaping alive are starting to

seem lost after Brandon fails to make a

break for it...but will a ghostly host, back

from the past, be the one to save this group

and end this curse once and for all? Or will

things only continue to get worse for our five

podcasters from here?

It’s time to keep the broadcast going, are you ready to tune back in?
