00:00 - Hades (Host)
Greetings listeners. I have good news and bad news. The bad news because everybody always likes to start with that is that, though I've completed writing the Golden Pail, getting my family to record, like good old gods and goddesses, has taken longer than I thought. So, despite me having wanted to get this done last week, it just did not materialize. Remind me next time that mortal conduits are ornery and much slower than divine magic.

Now, last year's celebration was lighthearted and filled with recipes, games and stories that wouldn't put goosebumps on a room filled with nursery schoolgoers. This year, however, we'll be telling some much darker tales, and ones you may not want to share with a very young crowd. Think Poe, think old time radio from a bygone era, and even a bit of true crime. Yes, my friends, Halloween will be a lot more spook than sweet.

So, for those still interested in joining us, we'll be doing a 13 Nights of Halloween event, beginning on October 19. Each of us has chosen a tale from your world, something from the annals of classic horror, whether penned or performed, and we'll be reading or playing those masterpieces right here by the fireside. So mark your calendars and prepare your spirits for a descent into the macabre and mysterious Dust off those cobwebs, both literal and metaphorical, and join me for 13 unforgettable nights that will chill you to the bone. Until then, keep your lanterns lit and your shadows close, for you never know what lurks in the dark corners of the underworld. See you on October 19th, if you dare. hanks for watching.
