  • Summary

  • The Witch in the Woods is a family friendly horror podcast. The story follows four children as they seek out the witch in the woods on a dare. They befriend her and her familiars: a fastidious dog named Barnaby and a snarky cat named Grimalkin. To prove to their friends that they’ve visited the witch, Barnaby and Grimalkin tell them supernatural stories and spine-chilling tales. As Season One unfolds, the children find themselves trapped in a scary story of their own when faced with a supernatural threat. Will they be able to count on the witch to help them? Or does she have dangerous motivations of her own?Aimed at a middle grade/young adult audience and featuring classic tales such as The Hook Hand, The Vanishing Hitchhiker and Bloody Mary, this podcast balances laugh out loud humor with gasp out loud spookiness. It will have you and your children wondering: “Am I brave enough to be listening to this?" And "When does the next episode come out?”

    Thrift store veterans Lara and Yaya are confident they're going to find the perfect dresses for their upcoming school dance buried in the racks, just waiting to be discovered. Their search takes them to a store they haven't visited before; one that seems to be a diamond in the ruff as they move past the disheveled exterior and find the clothing stash of their dreams. Everything is perfect until... well... maybe you should just listen and see...

Trust spooky stories with a twist

My kids and I love listening to these episodes. Each episode tells a familiar tale wrapped in a larger story. We can't wait until the next episode drops each week to see what's going to happen! The voices are fantastic, and the sound effects really add to the story.
