A Podcast & A Beer – It: Welcome to Derry

Christmas and horror are a bit intertwined. Not as much as Halloween, of course, but there is precedent. So time to go back to Derry, Maine where life is scary because it has been 27 years since It last stalked the town.

The podcast is It: Welcome to Derry and it follows up each episode of the HBO series.

It is hosted by Marc Bernardin and Princess Weekes and features behind-the-scenes discussions with the show’s cast and crew, including executive producers Andy Muschietti.

Now you can skip over the recap section though it does hold the occasional explainer or fun fact and just listen to the guest of the week. Be it actors or creators, it is an interesting way to get more of the series.

Since Christmas holds a few red IPA’s, I would like to match the color of the iconic balloon that is the sign for everyone to hightail it from wherever they are at. Cause nothing in Derry should be slowly walked towards.
