In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind knew these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the darkest mountains in the world. How dare we think we can break the skin of a god and dig out its heart without bringing forth blood and darkness? 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.

I like a lot of podcasts. I love Old Gods. This is not the first podcast I followed, but it is the first one that I loved enough to join patreon and take their recommendations for other shows to listen to. Totally immersive and compelling. The narrator is next level and the world building is detailed enough to make you feel like you are right there in the story.
