Talking Scared Off Book #2 – National Park After Dark
In the second Off Book episode we get out of our armchairs and go on a real adventure. Well, not really – but we talk to two people who do.
Danielle and Cassie are the hosts of National Park After Dark – a podcast catering to the “morbid outdoor enthusiast.” They have skyrocketed to success, with well-researches stories of murder, maulings and mad incidents out in the world’s national parks.
I’ve listened for years now and I’m delighted to finally get the chance to ask them all the questions… what is their favourite flavour of outdoor macabre? Is there a particular unsolved mystery that burns a hole in their brain? What’s the scariest thing they’ve encountered out there… and should we reintroduce wolves to the UK? (Yes!)
You don’t need to like the outdoors to enjoy this episode. Danielle and Cassie do the hard work for us.
Just enjoy!
