    Feb 9 2023

    On this week’s episode, it’s my first dive into Haunted Places!

    I’ve got some haunted roads, a haunted house, it’s a little bit of “Fact or Fiction” and lots of fun. I'll be doing some traveling between New York and New Jersey as I discuss Sweet Hollow Road, Mount Misery Road, and the "Spy House" which is supposedly the most haunted house in America. But.....is it? Listen to find out!

  • Episode 8: Black Christmas
    Dec 20 2022

    This week we are diving into the 1974 movie that launched a thousand slasher films – Black Christmas. Because ykno, nothing says “Holiday” quite like homicide. But this isn’t your average slasher film, there is loads to unpack here. Seriously, this film has got everything: true crime, urban legends, woman’s liberation, and dude’s wearing fabulous – and hopefully faux – fur coats. Since this is the final episode of the year, I just wanted to say that I hope you all have a Merry Everything and a Happy New Year, See you in 2023!

  • Episode 7: Krampus
    Dec 9 2022

    He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake. Because otherwise he’s gonna beat you with some sticks and drag you to hell. Get ready, because Krampus is coming to town. This week I am diving into the dark side of Christmas. That's right, I'm talking none other than Bizarro Santa himself - KRAMPUS. I'm taking you through the origins and inspiration in history and folklore, and how Krampus is still making a big impact today.

    This week we're appropriately diving into one of the most well-known Urban Legends that surround Halloween - poison candy and razorblades in apples. This week's episode is on the shorter side, so to supplement your spookiness I've made a Spotify playlist of all of my favorite songs that I feel fit the quirky and creepy vibe of my podcast.
