The Graveyard Shift, Pt. 1 (2.12)

Dread and Breakfast

Welcome to Spillman, 1924! You’re about to meet the most respectable saps this side of the Mississippi. A pious, church-going dame, a hard boiled copper, and a down-on-his-luck barber. But just between you and me, if you’re looking for a gin joint… we know a place.

Thank you to Morgan Thomas-Mills for composing our theme song, “The Bottomless Pit Scoot,” which samples music courtesy of the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress.* (You’re the bee’s knees, Morgan!)

Another big thanks to Jacob Smith, for composing original music for this episode. You want more music? Check out his solo project, Give Up on Your Dreams, or commission some music at bocajtunes on Soundcloud. But oh wait, would you also like some artwork? Jacob does that too, and takes art commissions at [e-mail]!

And of course, our gratitude and undying admiration goes to Mallory Swisher Kroll, for voicing Eloise this season. If you’d like to hear more of her voice, check out Roll 4 Your Life, a D&D actual play podcast!

Sound credits and content warnings for this episode are available on our website. Special thanks to the DnDark Podcast for sharing their sound effects library. (Give ‘em a listen!)
