True Hauntings & Scary Stories podcast
After the book published successfully, followers began to call for a podcast. Cindy was reluctant because of her mild dyslexia but was eventually convinced in early 2021. The podcast launched on April 15th, 2021 and was an immediate success! Odd numbered episodes are about true ghost stories while even numbered episodes are Cindy reading her own short scary stories. A new episode is released every Monday and a special episode is released every Oct 31st to celebrate Halloween! It is still running today and can be found on all major podcast apps.
Hosts of the Podcast
The hosts of the show were originally meant to be Cindy and her younger sister, Tina. However, Tina found it to be too much so another younger sister, Brick, stepped in. She remained for the better part of a year before she, too, had to step down. At that point, Cindy held an audition so listeners of the show could co-host an episode and Cindy could pick the best fit. It was through this process that she found her next and longest running co-host, Kat. Cindy has now started making new content with her newest host, Heather, a fellow podcaster.
