We are on the FANGORIA Podcast Network!

August 8, 2015

About a month ago FANGORIA announced they were beginning a podcast network with three established podcasts, and for their fourth slot, they would open up applications to everyone. Mindy and I deliberated on which podcast we should use to submit, and we chose our Travel Horror ("Destination: Horror") episode. We thought it was our best and funniest, and FANGORIA agreed.

We're thrilled to be joining the best horror publication on the web and look forward to producing out best episodes yet!

The Rants Macabre is a podcast about all things horror. Don’t let the name fool you, we delve into the genre with sharp focus and deep production (think Radiolab about scary movies). Every other week we tackle a new subject in horror and share our findings with each other. We want you to love scary movies as much as we do, so we don’t over-share plots, or give spoilers.

We have been coworkers and friends for the last 10 years, connecting over lunchroom conversations of horror movies and zombie preparedness plans.
