Whispers In The Basement
by Ashley and Lauren
Do you ever find yourself laying in bed late at night venturing down the reddit rabbit hole on conspiracy theories? Or maybe you’ve listened to a podcast where a creepy location or haunted house was mentioned and then spent hours overindulgently researching that location? Do you love when you get into those crazy conversations with friends where you’re using phrases like-Did you know, have you thought about, or listen to this shit, are thrown around? Things that make your brain THINK and sponge up all of that random what some people might think is useless information. Welcome to the best seat at the table my friend. This podcast is full of things just like that. We talk about everything from Pop Culture conspiracies to the Bermuda triangle. So plug in, listen up and stick around for the good stuff.
