Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran listeners and those venturing into the dark with us for the first time, welcome.

I wanted to mention that we'll be recording this podcast live on April 8th. Get your tickets at looped live.com, L-O-O-O-P-E-D-L-I-V-E.com.
