11 Podcasts For The Spooky Season

.

1. "Lore" by Aaron Mahnke 

My personal favorite! This podcast explores the darker side of history, uncovering that sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction. Plus, Aaron Mahnke's narrations are spot-on.

2. "Haunted Places" by Parcast Network 

This podcast explores how, and why, a normal place can become a paranormal hub. The sound effects add an exciting depth to each of the stories.

3. "Generation Why" by Wondery

This podcast is perfect for true-crime junkies. Aaron and Justin divulge into some of the post popular crimes (e.g. the Central Park Five and the Zodiac Killer) and give their theories/opinions on unsolved murders.

4. "Stranglers" by Stitcher

13 people were sexually assaulted and strangled to death in Boston between 1962 and 1964. Albert DeSalvo, a local handyman, confessed to the crimes and went to jail. However, 54 years later, some facts still don't add up....

5. "The Black Tapes" by Pacific Northwest Stories

Hosted by fictional character Alex Reagan, this podcast is a serialized docudrama that follows the strange life of Dr. Richard, a ghost hunter who ironically does not believe in ghosts.

6. "The Bowery Boys: New York City History" by Bowery Boys Media

Even though not all the episodes are spooky, it is interesting to learn about all the crazy things that have been happening in New York over time. Hint: some are pretty freaking wild.

7. "Quiet, Please" by Wyllis Cooper and Ernest Chappell

This podcast is the OG scary story teller. The dramatic narration WILL give you the heebie-jeebies.

8. "The Apex & The Abyss" by The Apex & The Abyss

Narrated by a woman named Erika, this podcast follows the true crime tale of Arthur Shawcross, better known as The Genessee River Killer. He was a morbid, cannibalistic serial killer who committed his crimes between 1972 and 1989.

9. "Heaven's Gate" by Glynn Washington 

This podcasts follows the cult, Heaven's Gate, and the eventual mass suicide of its members. WARNING: Don't listen to this alone or at night.

10. "The Message" by Nicky Tomalin 

This podcasts follows a team of cybersecurity personnel (a.k.a. cypher cryptologists) who are working to decode a message sent from outer space over 70 years ago.


And, last but surely not least...

11. "Serial" by Sarah Koenig 

Another one of my favorites, this investigative journalism podcast narrates a non-fiction event over the course of several episodes. The podcast currently has two seasons, twenty three episodes total. Season one, The Alibi, follows a murder case, while season two, follows a U.S. Army officer who leaves his post and goes out into the eastern Afghanistan desert.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
