Again, it's been a while since I have posted anything, but seeing as it's Halloween, I thought I'd write about the spooky/horror stuff that I've been clearing out of my lists lately. Now, I'm not a huge horror fan. I dabble in some movies and books throughout the year and like to read at least …

Podcasts About Cults
So in my entry yesterday, I mentioned that I have a fascination with stories about cults, but didn't find the documentary The End of the World Cult to be that fascinating.

What’s On My iPod?
I've been meaning to review podcasts here since it's one of my four categories, but unlike, say, books or back issues that I'm reading or movies I'm watching, these aren't pieces of physical media and a number of them are ongoing in the same way a television show would be, but a number of podcasts …
