Living in a Haunted House?? Collab with Scary Stories We Tell!

Chris from the Scary Stories We Tell Podcast confides in us his recent experience dealing with some kind of supernatural entity. From hearing a guttural growl as he gets into bed, lights turning on and off and seeing shadowy apparitions in his basement, this story hits a little too close to home in more ways than one!

Religion...Is It Ethical?

Religion...Is It Ethical?

After bringing into question the legitimacy of all gods and goddesses two weeks ago, Arthur and Emma wanted to tackle the topic of religion more broadly. Cultural appropriation, oppressive structures, mob mentality...if that isn't spooky I don't know what is!
