As April becomes May, Halfway to Halloween Month comes to an end. Don’t be sad, though, that only means we’re closer to the real deal, and five months should (hopefully) go by fast as we twiddle our thumbs in quarantine.
For now, you can revisit all of the content and programming that Consequence of Sound published throughout the entire month of April. From chilling interviews to live watch-alongs to spooky podcasts, there were plenty of things going bump in your feed.
Below, we’ve collated a bag of bones to sort through…
