Summer is the time of campfires, marshmallows and ghost stories, and Edmonton podcaster Nadine Bailey wants to scratch that spooky itch all year long.

Bailey shares the story of how she made her show Haunted Canada, on the latest episode of CBC podcast This Is Edmonton. It's part of our summer series of podcast deep dives.

Haunted Canada grew out of Bailey's work as the producer/host of Edmonton Ghost Tours, with the podcast taking a national view on ghost stories, hauntings and mysteries. Bailey talks about how her storytelling style shifts from in-person to the podcast format.
