Pod#66(6) - Jinn Stories 5 - Delhi Horror! - a podcast by The Padded Room

from 2020-06-08T03:00:08

:: ::

This one's a special one, ladies and gentlemen. We're joined by Jatin, somebody from Delhi we were lucky to find on Twitter when he posted a great thread on his city's horror stories. You know how we are when it comes to Jinn stories, horror stories and the like. But this episode became much more than just a discussion about scary stories. Jatin turned out to be quite the interesting character, deeply and obviously in love with the city he was from. We talked about the stories, but we talked a lot about Delhi, its people, its different avenues and locales. All in all a great time. We will definitely be looking to ask him to return.

Also, this is our second episode with the new recording setup. This time the audio lags aren't as obvious, but the internet was really not cooperating and the video quality wasn't great for most people on the show. We'll keep investigating.
