Description
The Macabrecast, a podcast where spooky history and haunted antiquities never cease to intrigue us. Long-time friends and nerds Brooke Dawson (She/Her) and Holly Lackey (She/Her) indulge in frightful fancy by deep diving into humanity’s greatest nightmares, mistakes, and creations. Chills aside, we attempt to bring a lighthearted air to humanity’s mistakes, as we examine history through the lenses of one cantankerous lesbian and one unyielding asexual.
