Back in October of 2021, Aaron AuBuchon, Damien Glonek, and myself started the Discover the Horror podcast, with the goal of getting listeners to seek out other films that they hadn’t seen before, or taking another look at ones they had seen, maybe seeing it a little differently than before. I’d like to think we’ve consistently done that with each and every episode.

Well, it seems that last week, we hit 10,000 downloads! Now honestly, since I’m about as technical savvy as an abacus, I have no idea to what the magnitude of that number actually means, but it does tell me that people are listening to the shows and more importantly, coming back for more. We strive to create a show that hopefully sparks that passion inside the listener to take that extra step, or a bigger step, into the genre. As I’ve said before, as fans of the genre, this isn’t a race, but an incredible journey we’re all on together, all being on the same path, just at different points along the way.

Now, with all that excitement, we are planning something a little different for our 50th show, which is going to directly involve YOU the listener. While we’re still working out the details, the how’s and whatnot (again, that damn technology), we’re setting the date for 8pm on August 23rd for a LIVE SHOW to commemorate our 50th episode! You, the listener, will be able to join in the chat room during the show, ask different questions for us to answer during the show, or give us your thoughts on some of your favorite movies, favorite episodes of the podcast, or even recommendations for maybe a future episode. We’ll definitely advertise this a little more before the actual date, but mark your calendar now, because doing this with no one showing up isn’t going to be too much fun, so we will need your support!

But most importantly, a HUGE thank you to each of you that continue to support and listen to the show. You are the reason that we continue to fight the good fight for the horror genre, because there is always room to learn more about it!

In the meantime, go out and watch some damn horror! Because it really IS good for you!
