About this listen

Writer/filmmaker Scotty Milder and actor/theatre director Amelia Ampuero are weird. They like weird things. And they like to talk about them. From volcanos inspiring classic works of literature, to serial killers and UFOs, to “accidental foods” … nothing is too spooky, quirky, or downright strange for these two.
