Over the last few months, I've become pretty addicted to podcasts. I put them on when I'm driving, cleaning, crafting, or even in the shower. I've even spent money to see my favorite podcast live, and to meet the stars.
To me there is no such thing as silence anymore, because a podcast is always on to keep me company. There are a couple categories of podcasts though I refuse to listen to alone; and those are the true crime podcasts, or the ones featuring stories that make my skin crawl. The good thing about them though are that they get you ready for Halloween. They get you right into that spooky spirit. If you're like me and won't even step foot into a haunted house, and you're annoyed with yourself because you love Halloween, then listening to one of these podcasts is what you've been looking for to fill that hole in your life.
