Middle of the night giggling is a whole lot scarier when you remember there's no kids in the house... | Robert the Doll

I guess we’re making up genres now | Spotify Wrapped

We’re back from an unplanned hiatus with some short lived ASMR, marginally helpful hacks and Apple Music slander. Also, News with NTP has made a surprising comeback and may be here to stay. We’ve released our statement about the naming of ‘Goblin Mode’ as Word of the Year and warn you about what might happen if you start siphoning gas. Eventually we do get around to sharing our 2022 Spotify Wrappeds with only a few interruptions by my digital assistants. We may be not be experts, but we're Not Too piano with our music opinions.

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight, but a podcast is fine | Hauntings of Raynham Hall

You may have heard of a podcast, but have you heard of a PIEcast? Listen to the dulcet tones of Jay finally making use of all her apples by making pie (mini ones, almost like this episode lol). After we introduce you to our allergies (just in case we ask one of you to become our emergency contacts) and remind you that we have never grown up (we still eat and spell like we're in elementary school), we tell you a story about the horrors of vegetable peelers and tales of poisoning! Okay so they're not the story, but we really do. This episode also introduces a new segment, News with NTP, covering the latest major news; reviews were low so it's unlikely to make a comeback, should we fight to keep it or quit while we're ahead? What say you Liz? Once we finally get around to it Jay tells us about a few remaining souls at Raynham Hall, borrowing information from The Little House of Horrors [https://thelittlehouseofhorrors.com/raynham-hall/], Burials & Beyond [https://burialsandbeyond.com/2018/11/06/the-brown-lady-of-raynham-hall/] and Whistling Shade [http://www.whistlingshade.com/1302/The_Brown_Lady.htm]. Jay finally rounds us out with a horror movie review of Candyman (1992). Anyway, thanks for listening and I hope this is Not Too (much) Pie, because Piecast 2.0 comes next week! Oh and if anyone wants to know, Jay did not pick up that apple the next day.

Middle of the night giggling is a whole lot scarier when you remember there's no kids in the house... | Robert the Doll

We've hit the midpoint of our spooky October series and I (Elle) am back telling you and Jay all about Robert the Doll. But don't worry, we make sure to take you through a whole range of emotion by starting off the episode will Jay's latest illness, COVID coincidences, my own personal tragedy and Bruce. Research for the main event came from Episode 15 of Lore [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lore/id978052928?i=1000541910744], an AtlasObscura article [https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/story-behind-robert-the-doll], an AllThatIsInteresting article [https://allthatsinteresting.com/robert-the-doll], and his very own website [http://robertthedoll.org]. If you're anything like us, this episode is going to make sure you're Not Too Playful especially when it comes to the next time you're in the vicinity of a doll.

Sometimes nature might just be the scariest thing of them all... | Dyatlov Pass Incident

We're back with out second instalment of spooky stories this month! This week Jay tells me all about the Dyatlov Pass Incident (In summary: another reason to avoid Russian winters). It's a real one, and a gory one at that, so if gore and death are an issue there is a trigger warning for 31:56 to 55:30. Her research came primarily from an AllThatIsInteresting [https://allthatsinteresting.com/dyatlov-pass-incident] article by John Kuroski and a Nature [https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-020-00081-8] article by Johan Gaume and Alexander M. Puzrin plus there's a website entirely dedicated to the incident here [https://dyatlovpass.com/]. After hearing all about it, I'm sure you, like me will be glad your life is Not Too Perilous (that is unless you're a winter hiker in Russia. If you are, how'd you end up here?)  As always, Music: Dark 'n' Stormy by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com [https://www.silvermansound.com]  Dark 'n' Stormy is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License by Shane Ivers of silvermansound.com [https://www.silvermansound.com].
