The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast
As sisters, we've always bonded over things that are strange, scary, and spooky. Join us for a weekly deep-dive into the world's most chilling topics—with a healthy dose of comedy, of course!
One week, we're examining a brutal True Crime cold case; the next, we're sharing bone-rattling Listener Stories and famous Reddit Ghost Stories. We also explore classic Conspiracy Theories and try to figure out why we all remember the Monopoly Man wearing a monocle!
Come hang out with us—but maybe keep the lights on.
