This week we kick off the first in a series of episodes recorded during stay-at-home orders, beginning with “Ancient Sorceries” from Escape recommended to us by our Mysterious Listeners Marc and Anton! Based on the story by Algernon Blackwood, “Ancient Sorceries” tells the tale of a buttoned-up British man who finds himself mysteriously drawn to a Welsh village where the taciturn inhabitants seem to already know him. Where on Earth is the strange organ music coming from? What do cats and sleep have in common? Would a soothing magical balm make it easier to listen to “Cat Wife”? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

I love Escape, generally, but This couldn’t keep my attention. Usually I’m listening while out on a jog and so I grant some leeway if my mind wanders during a listen, but this time, it’s Friday night and I’m alone, I turned off the lights and set this episode to go and…….yawn….it couldn’t keep my attention. Just didn’t grab me. Sorry Escape, I love ya, but this one? Meh.
I am very sorry but you are wrong, wrong, wrong like Mayor of Wrongville wrong. In most cases I agree with your assessments of shows on your podcast but for this one you are far less correct than you could be.
This episode is a go to for me if I want something a little creepy to listen to by the campfire. Give me this, Casting the Runes, House in Cypress Canyon & He Who Follows Me (take that Hall of Fantasy haters!) and I am a happy guy.
