  • 62: Interview with Julianne and Chloe the Hosts of the ISBILI Podcast - Part 1

    Hey, everyone! Are you ready for our first Halloween-themed episode?

    I've always wanted to create a Halloween episode, and I've finally decided to make it happen. I didn't want to record this episode alone, so I invited Julianne and Chloe. They are the hosts of the “I'm Scared but I Like It” Podcast. I'm a big fan of their show, and I knew they would be the perfect guests for this special Halloween episode.
    Their podcast revolves around spooky things, so I highly recommend checking it out. The recording lasted two hours, so I've divided this episode into two parts.
    The first part is all about Halloween, and the second part will be dedicated to spooky stories.
    Here are some of the things we talked about in this episode:
    - How Halloween is celebrated in the US. Plus, some Halloween traditions.
    - Iconic Halloween treats and candies that people often give out during trick-or-treating.
    - Unique Halloween celebrations and events in the US.
    - Halloween movies and TV shows.
    - Julianne and Chloe shared their favorite Halloween memories from their childhood.
    - They also shared the story behind the creation of the “I’m scared but I like it” Podcast.
    As always, thanks for listening to my podcast. Your support means the world to me!
