Spirits, Signs, and Sass: Spooky Stories and Paranormal Tales with Halee and Elise of Easy Bake Coven

Margo is joined by Elise and Halee, the dynamic duo behind the Easy Bake Coven podcast, where spooky meets sass. What began on a Halloween night with a bottle of Kim Crawford wine and board games has evolved into a podcast that explores the weird, creepy, and unexplainable. Elise's background in journalism and Halee's experience in social work bring a unique blend of nuance and humor to their conversations about paranormal activity, true crime, and mysterious events. Known for their playful banter and easy rapport, listening to them feels like hanging out with friends as they dive into the world's greatest mysteries—from cryptids to whodunnits—with a side of comedic relief. In this episode, Margo, Elise, and Halee discuss: The origin story of Easy Bake Coven and what sets them apart How family traditions or rituals can influence a child's understanding of spirituality or the supernatural Spooky stories about signs from passed loved ones Finding balance between humor and sensitivity when discussing heavy topics without undermining victim stories Managing burnout and streamlining podcast production as a duo The responsibilities and ethics of content creation Why children might be more perceptive to spiritual experiences Research methods for preparing in-depth historical dives for podcast episodes The importance of listener engagement and effective ways to build and maintain it How personal histories and passions shape their podcast Mentioned in this episode: The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch Watch: YouTube linkBook: Amazon link Radio Rental podcast: Radio Rental Spooked podcast: Spooked The Forager's Daughter Tarot Deck: The Forager's Daughter The Hot Zone by Richard Preston: The Hot Zone Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth: Call the Midwife Connect with Elise and Halee: Website: Easy Bake Coven Podcast Instagram: @easybakecovenpodcast Connect with Margo: Website: Windowsill Chats Instagram: @windowsillchats Patreon: www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill
