✨ Sneak Peek Alert✨ Ever felt like you're shouting into the void, seeking help but hitting a wall? 👨‍💻 Tune in for a gripping (and relatable) tale of Tom Bandcliff who messes with dark forces and seeks help from an unexpected place. #teaser #demon #podcastclip #TheChronicle

Have you ever sought help in all the wrong places? 👹📖🤦‍♂️ Adam Kotz's witty portrayal of Tom Bandcliff in 'Summoning Demons' brings levity to dabbling with the dark arts in this tragicomic tale. @runte #humour #occult #darkarts #demon #supernatural #audiodrama
