Earth has become a much smaller place. The mysteries of our planet are being slowly killed by the march of progress. Yet fear remains a constant of the human condition. It is the most basic of our emotions. It is what ties us all together and perpetually tears us apart. And we find fear fascinating. Twice a month the Age of Enfrightenment podcast will shed some light on the dark corners of the world and investigate the things that keep us up at night. Come along as we examine mysteries of the past, urban legends, and the anxieties of an ever-looming and unknowable future. We will discuss bizarre and macabre literature and cinema, and its role in society. If you have a passion for the eerie, the esoteric, and the extraordinary, then you have a home with us. Welcome to the Age of Enfrightenment.
