Oh hey guys. What have you been up to? Anything to catch us up on because WE'RE BACK BABY!

The last pod of #MonsterCast is a doozy and we've been anxiously awaiting releasing it. What better time than Halloween to bring back the creepiest show on the Network! Don't call it comeback....... except it IS! You've been asking and Sara and Jeremy RETURN with a brand new episode of #AreYouAfraidOfThePodcast. 

For the comeback episode they're picking up right where they left off in Season 4 of the series and taking a look at perhaps the biggest overreaction to noise of all time in The Tale of the Quiet Librarian. A library is haunted by the ghost of a former librarian who dislikes noisy children. This pod wrestles with big questions like is starving children to death a reasonable response to them making noise? What is in that notebook that makes you risk life and limb? When did sleevless mock turtlenecks become acceptable fashion? AND SO MUCH MORE! It's good to be back. Let's get spooky!

THE TALE OF THE QUIET LIBRARIAN is available NOW on Paramount+.

It's time to gather around the podcast campfire again for Episode 50 of "Are You Afraid of the Podcast"; continuing Season 4 by looking at The Tale of Cutter's Treasure Part 2. The story too big for one episode reaches it thrilling conclusion. Ghosts have stolen Rush's brother Max and to get him back he'll need not only the help of Sardo, but also the enigmatic man that brought the chest to the Magic Mansion in the first place. We're talking through why coiffures need to come back, why Dr. Vink thinks kids should murder and why traveling via magical spyglass might be the best way of all!

Hey all you fellow Darkers! We're bringing you a very different but very special episode today! We're resetting the episode releases by a week to better coincide with the Front Row Network's October MonsterCast that we produce every year. As such this week we're bringing you an interview that Jeremy did as a guest on the amazing USUK Podcast Network show What's The Difference. Jeremy and the hosts discuss how the show came to be, favorite episodes, which movies should never be remade and Jeremy takes on the vaunted WTD Gauntlet. We'll see you next week with the conclusion of Cutter's Treasure!
