2024-11-07 13:07:41 +0000 UTCI was trying to explain the Magnus Archives to someone today, and I realized that something I absolutely love about this podcast is how it explores the thin line between fear and (religious?) ecstasy. I mean, I love the bonechilling episodes that explore, say, an intense fear of spiders, but I really, really love the ones that dig deep (heh) into why people serve these fears. Thank you RQ!
