Sounds like a college radio production with little preparation. The hosts try to banter but stray off topic; it seems like they're reading Wikipedia pages. At the very least, do some research and learn to pronounce places/names correctly.
Description
Jason Horton & Rebecca Leib discuss and explore some of the most abandoned, haunted, and mysterious places on earth. This is Ghost Town.
