hang on I’ve just connected some astoundingly obvious dots. what the ghost is so silly and has such hammy production because georgie “no fear” barker decided to make a podcast in the one genre that she physically cannot understand. basira said it took a “weird turn” in season three, I bet georgie got a bunch of feedback on early episodes that some content was genuinely too scary to really enjoy so she dialed it way back and landed firmly in the silly zone, unable to detect the pleasantly spooky sweet spot.
