I must say, I'm really enjoying the pace of the story, it's not to slow to be boring and not to quick to unsuccessfully build a atmosphere. Looking forward to listening to more.

[@aazhie]

Pretty adorable that Walter thinks he's getting money from the archeological find xD

[@eileenheath1968]

That alimony settlement must have been particularly painful.

[@johnjerichorosales4453]

i learned the genre was horror the hard way

[@Kyrrdis]

If it involves frozen wastelands, my default assumption is horror. I read too much Lovecraft.

[@lme2089]

Theyre gonna run outta coffee!

[@TheAshHeritor]

Horror unlike any other...

[@eileenheath1968]

I sincerely hope I see more of my fellow Second Wind followers here in this episode. This series is amazing - and I say that as someone desperately trying to get a handle on her own series.

[@RambleRandi]

I am not finished with this episode but if anything happens to Walter I will riot

[@defunctroses1644]

YES

[@SNP-1999]

Since being a child I have always loved thriller stories that take place in the Arctic, for example Alistair MacClean's "Night Without End" which takes place in Greenland, in another deadly cold environment like in this story. It is not only the dramatic story in itself, but the soul killing cold of arctic white- outs, deadly fissures in glaciers and other man made dangers that make a great thriller, just like this one.

[@Jen-rose76]

I’m sitting threw a hurricane and I’m more scared of the ending to this then I am of the storm raging outside. ❤️❤️

[@eileenheath1968]

I honestly thought you were hurling my favorite drink for a moment. I've sat through hurricanes before, so I understand.

[@samwels6855]

I'm enjoying the show I'm keeping up, I believe the story it'll get better afterward though. A big hug from Brazil.

[@FoolScholarProductions]

Thank you, Samwel!

[@gabrielsilveira8246]

Hey Brazilian here too! Enjoying a lot too

[@oceanman_timestwo]

I'm so scared I almost started crying. Great work, I love it!

[@HankMcCoyMode]

I like this podcast about snow and coffee.

[@MyAfroAteMyWii]

Honestly I thought she was pushed

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

Here I was thinking she fell lol

[@spallspacecrayon8861]

All this is reminding me of finding Falmer in Skyrim 😂 amazing story

[@semiengima]

Relistening to prepare for listening to Artifact and Imperial. Still awesome

[@sandrabard3677]

So far, so good. Interesting and easy to keep track of the events.

[@jenweatherwax7113]

The horror trope where no one finds an abandoned village creepy / someone claiming they saw something weird and murderous was just a figment of their imagination is so painful 😖 I would be freaking out and cursing at a minimum

[@autocareslucho]

What on earth did Karina see?????

[@Aconitums_Poisoned_Art]

A person perhaps? Or maybe a sick polar bear…

[@Luanmm]

I'd guess she saw Slenderman, by her description lol

[@nanuqo2006]

Gotta be something paranormal. Maybe some weird god that the church was built for

[@hollisterlasers-ion8939]

That was an extremely strange choice, to have the Englishman's notes tell right before the show. I think they said it was needed for context, but it just felt repetitive to me. Otherwise i find the pacing excellent. Each end of day feels very natural and like it comes at the exact right time.

[@GloriousRebecca]

It's just mildly irritating how the first one to see something strange can't even describe the creature apart from Blurry. Like, come on man! You're a PhD

[@TabuKat]

look seriously is the coffee a Chekhov's gun because it feels like it is & it's driving me nuts.

[@FoolScholarProductions]

But really... It's quite good... Except when it isn't

[@eileenheath1968]

Maybe there's chicory in it.

[@Jogeta5]

Why are they trying to pry open a box that could be quite old? Wouldn't that be kept and taken with them to be scanned and opened more safely? The story is starting to feel a little horror tropey. It's done well so far, but oblivious horror character behaviours are showing up.

[@hiddenburg9340]

A Shift in Surface. DARN Phone 🤳

[@lastofmygeneration]

Lovecraft would be proud.

[@didyouhearthat_SN]

why a scientist... ok, a scared as hell scientist can't say anything but: "don't go there! it was skinny black and blurry"? like... "i've been attacked by a strange agrressive creature so I had to jump down from hight to escape..." the story is very interesting, but this horror movie logic kills the realism a little.

[@KM-hw6tw]

I agree - I've been enjoying the story, and then that bit of "We can't believe you because the writers need us not to..." snapped me right out of the narrative. A little more earlier stress on Karina's nightmare as a possible source of "skinny, blurry and black" would have smoothed that plot transition, and also rationalised Karina's closing "back to normal" dialogue.

[@eileenheath1968]

She really should have tried harder to communicate. She is a scientist AND she is a female which means she's had to re-explain herself repeatedly to her peers on the way up. Sorry if that offends, but it's terribly true - no matter what country you're from. Except - ironically - Afghanistan in 1960s.

[@hiddenburg9340]

NOTE - Moment he said REINDEER 🦌 AND TITLE OF PODCAST, I PRESUME SPIRIT? ISN'T THIS FUN 😊 😅 👁️

[@Lonezewolflonewolf]

Why does that one dude sound like Clint eastwood?

[@FoolScholarProductions]

That's... just how he sounds. He does a lot of horror narration as well, and has his own KZbin channel. His voice is super unique, and we love working with him.

[@Lonezewolflonewolf]

@@FoolScholarProductions Aye, not saying its a bad thing, truely I liked his roll in this series. How long did it take yall to complete a season? Mind me asking.

[@FoolScholarProductions]

@@Lonezewolflonewolf We complete one season of this show every year, but we also complete two other seasons of two other projects every year as well.

[@hiddenburg9340]
