In principle, yes, although I shamefully have not seen that many episodes. But the concept of an anthology of outlandish stories with morals at the center has always spoken to me. I did grow up with R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series and Are You Afraid of the Dark? on Nickelodeon, so if you’re desperate to trace the origins somewhere, I’d start with those.

Alas, you caught me. I’m not a sound engineer. But as we live in quasi-pandemic times, and not all the performers live in the Bay Area, I have to use what is at my disposal. Each episode of Seasons 1-3 was recorded over Zoom, with the actors recording their own audio separately. Not everyone has the equipment for professional sound recording (myself included), so yes, there can be an inconsistency in quality. My hope, though, is that you, dear listener, can listen passed any imperfections and focus on the stories and performances. I think those stand out more than anything. In any case, I suggest you listen with headphones, specifically over-the-ear ones if you have them, in order to gain the full experience. Starting with Season 4, episodes will be recorded mostly in person on decent mics, so celebration is in order.
