Freak of the Week

Join your host David Hickney as we expose the truth. Freak of the Week is a completely made up podcast about completely made up creatures and phenomena.

Supplemental – Wizard World Paranormal Podcast Panel

Unfortunately, there is no new episode of Freak of the Week. Due to the need to shelter in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been unable to record new episodes. Once we are able to, we will immediately commence the production of the show. But we wanted to give you something to listen to this week. Last August, Freak of the Week producer Nick Mataragas was lucky enough to take part in a Paranormal Podcasting Panel at Wizard World Chicago. So we thought we would pull back the curtain a little, and share the audio from the panel. Be ready for some behind the scenes insight.
