PODCAST EPISODE SUMMARY

"The Reaping of Bobby Ward" – In a sleepy New England town during the 1980s, a group of teenagers follow a notorious bully to a quarry where rumors swirl of the Grim Reaper walking the roadside at night. What begins as a cruel prank quickly spirals into something far more terrifying. A tense coming-of-age tale where folklore, cruelty, and fear collide, this story blurs the line between myth and memory.

"Proud" – Matty, a simple custodian working late in the marble halls of Saint Ambrose, is driven by one desperate desire: to finally make his abusive father proud. As he loses himself in endless labor and whispered voices of the dead, his need for approval twists into something darker. A haunting portrait of devotion, cruelty, and the ghosts we inherit from those closest to us.
