So well written. I love it. when a second voice turns up in a podcast, which had previously only one

[@evilsid5306]

Spoilers lol.

[@gypsyjade7170]

Having been raised by my great granny “Mum Mum” and the last of my line...the tone of it is like a song 🎶 a song I have so missed.

[@andrewwilliams9847]

The best podcast out there sent me Dixie cryptids I figured if he suggested it you must be worth it and I must say I am not disappointed rather pleased with the dialogue the way of bringing the stories to life thank you and thank you Cam.

What a beautiful curse

[@grymhild]

❤️ Going to get nerdy here a moment... Kudzu (which was mentioned in the prayer) was introduced to the US at the Japanese pavilion in the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.

[@stardust949]

Yeah. Kudzu. My young husband and I (at the time) worked for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival when it was in old Anniston, AL. Driving there from Ohio, through Kentucky and Tennessee...there was an ocean of kudzu...and that was over 30 years ago now.

[@abbynormal3068]

I thought that very thing!

[@alethearia]

I leave a votive thanks In this media ritual prayer May KZbin gods smile dark smiles With each new like and share

[@tijean93]

So Those Poor Bastards have a definite presence, but what about Blood & Land?

[@OldGodsofAppalachia]

The artist's name is Landon Blood.

[@FantasticDimensions]

Gods, this just gets better and better!

[@meredithahern-tamilio4667]

Yesssss, I'm so happy that there is another one 2,5 yehaaa ..

[@MelissaFarmer1]

Well done. Very well done.

[@BeckerThorne]

Keep up the great work!

[@thatvampirelorraine]

Your good !

[@mammon_is_god]

Praise

[@Jeremiah.Awesome]

Kudzu is invasive and wasn’t in the south until the 1930s at the earliest (according to Wikipedia) when it was promoted to fight soil erosion during the dust bowl.

[@OldGodsofAppalachia]

We are aware, thanks. But this is an ALTERNATE Appalachia so we have chosen to introduce it sooner.

[@Jeremiah.Awesome]

@@OldGodsofAppalachia Groovy. My inner nerd couldn't....resist....commenting.... Love the series, never stop!

[@dalekrenegade2596]

​@@OldGodsofAppalachiaFunny how how the nature witch would actually encourage the growth of an invasive species that actually harm the plants around it.

[@OldGodsofAppalachia]

@@dalekrenegade2596 Thanks for your feedback.

[@dalekrenegade2596]

No need to fret about it. This has been out for years, and it's a tiny detail. It would be a neat scenario where a a witch turned pseudo-nature spirit who has been dealing with the dangers hidden horrors for this long contemplating her actions over something as a ecologically harmful weed. Something so seemingly mundane in comparison to the shit she deals with but no less impactful.

[@quantumblauthor7300]

AGH YOU SPOILED THE IDENTITY OF THE VOICE IN THE CREDITS!

[@OldGodsofAppalachia]

That was completely intentional and part of the telling.

[@quantumblauthor7300]

@@OldGodsofAppalachia Aight, interesting choice.

[@Of_infinite_Faith]

The writing and delivery is awesome but personally i found the additional voice to be unnecessary, the quality of the performance simply didn't match the voice of the narrator

[@OldGodsofAppalachia]

You’re going to hear quite a few other voices in our show eventually.
