Hex Girlfriends is a fantasy improv podcast hosted by Liv Prescott, tenth-generation witch, and Arlo Timberloupe, born and bred werewolf. These two ex-girlfriends are here to give a world of mystical advice to their town of Bloodsburrow, home to monsters, cryptids, and magical beings. They talk about everything from their favourite TV show to the latest threat from the town loan shark and offer their life advice to anyone needing a little guidance. First episode out November 1st!

“My dad is retiring after 4000 years as a Grim Reaper, and is expecting me to carry on his legacy. But I always feel too bad killing people, and I can never go through with it. What should I do?”

Liv and Arlo talk about Arlo's latest gig with the vampires, Liv's venture into the arts, and read horoscopes that are all-too-accurate. Then, they bring on Jen Reaper, a people-pleasing Grim Reaper who has a hard time doing her job: escorting souls to the afterlife.
