Season 4 – Episode 10 – A.J. Mason Interview

Release Date: 01/27/2026

Website: Ravens Vail Podcast Network

Description:

Ed and Jacob fire up the Cauldron and welcome author A.J. Mason-AKA-A.J. Downey, because when you’ve got that many stories rattling around in your head, one name just isn’t going to cut it. From there, the conversation careens delightfully off‑road: Appalachian oddities, Tennessee’s ever‑dramatic Civil War ghosts, the current political circus, and the general state of the world doing whatever it’s doing these days. It’s part spooky storytelling, part social commentary, and part “laugh so you don’t cry,” all delivered with the Cracked Cauldron’s signature chaotic charm. Tune in for a lively, haunted, and surprisingly relatable brew.
