Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake.

We ask the question - how can *we* end up as the final girl? Join Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble as we take a deep dive into everything from OG horror to newly released films (but preferably classics on VHS).

Listen to the entire epic series, which follows Survivors in Los Angeles after the world has been turned upside down.
It begins with “A Story of Survival” which spans from Chapters 1-48. Our survivors band together, fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that the Infected are far from the biggest threat they will have to face.
The adventure continues with two mini-series:
“Lockdown” - A small group of inmates and prison guards are trapped in the T-block at Twin Towers Jail. They are forced to work together and find a way to escape while the rest of the world ends around them.
“Goldrush” - Set 17 years after the main events of “A Story of Survival”, this is a recollection story that describes the efforts of the four Soldiers as they attempt a side mission to retrieve a suspected stash of gold bullion.
Our newest season is “We’re Alive: Descendants”:
The story of survival continues; the fight is not over.
18 years after the Outbreak, the world is starting to re-organize and rebuild, but many different forms of humanity are still struggling to survive in the aftermath. Nicholas Tink grew up in the shadow of his father- the late, great, Saul Tink. Little does he know that deep in the places where infected dwell, another descendant lies waiting.
Content Warning: This podcast contains descriptions of graphic violence, sexual references, and strong language. Listener discretion is advised.

400 Words A Horror is a bi-weekly horror-themed anthology podcast by audio drama enthusiasts who want to get started in the audio drama world as creators!
We are a group of friends who dream of making our own audio dramas some day, but had no idea how to go about it. They always say, practice makes perfect, so we rounded up a few of our friends and got to work! Our goal is to learn the "how" behind audio drama creation. Co-run by Gem and Lys, 400 Words A Horror allows us the space to have fun, spook up a little, experience, experiment, and learn the ins and outs of audio drama creation! This is a learning experience for all of us so, any feedback - as long as it is constructive - is more than appreciated. Feel free to drop us a message on any of our socials! If you want to stay anonymous, our Tumblr ask box awaits you.
Sooo... why the name "400 Words A Horror"?
Well, the idea came to Gem while practicing with the Pratchett method called ‘400 words a day.’ The goal is to write a story a day in at least 400 words (ahem... you know, hence the name) to practice and improve on one's own writing. As a result, all of our stories vary in length and topic from episode to episode! We usually have a loose theme for the week and have fun exploring it together!
How do I get involved?
When we need or want to work with new people, we will announce it on our socials. In the mean time, follow us on Tumblr, Twitter and BlueSky @400WordsAHorror, join our Discord and hone your skills with us! We think we're pretty cool so if you wanna see how we're doing and what we're up to, those are the best places! Links are below! If you like what we do, following and sharing the show is one of the best ways you can support us. It's crazy how far word or mouth or a kind review can go. And, of course, supporting us here on Patreon is also incredibly helpful! ;D
