011 Dracula by Bram Stoker

This episode has been archived. But never fear! You can still access all of our original episodes from our baby podcaster days on our Buy Me a Coffee Page. Just push the big gray button!

This old wrinkly vampire is a far cry from the ageless, sparkly teen version we’ve come to know and… tolerate. But the history of these creatures is so much deeper than their empty veins. Read the book, or watch one of your favorite vampire flicks, and join us for a good, old-fashioned, Victorian-era spook.
