1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 As a special treat and thank-you to all my gracious and kind supporters, I present my take on the origin of the jack-o-lantern from its Irish folklore roots. &amp;nbsp; If you've been a long-time follower of my buddy Shawn at Ink and Ash (formerly Stories of Yore and Yours), you may have heard this version, and you'll recognize Shawn's voice. &amp;nbsp;Shawn was nice enough to let me re-use some of his audio, but I didn't realize when I asked him that there was fake crowd noise on the track. &amp;nbsp;That pushed me to add crowd noise to my version, and once you add one sound effect, it's a slippery slope before you find yourself forgoing the work you actually had the meager strength for and making an audio drama instead. &amp;nbsp;The wonders of the neurodivergence. &amp;nbsp;The Irish voice is courtesy of voice actor Mark Manning . Speaking of Ink and Ash/SYY, if you want some really spooky, and I mean brain-itchingly creepy to listen to, you've got to check out The Hole. &amp;nbsp;(Another story I wrote is on that episode, pure coincidence.)
