50: Halloween


Listen Later

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! We’re chatting with writer and comedian, Jon Blair, about the holiday with a little something for everyone - HALLOWEEN! We talk about why classic monsters like skeletons are just funny by default (and whether or not we could take one in a fight), what makes for the best and worst house decorations, the age limits on trick or treating, why homemade Halloween costumes are an ancient ritual that should be respected, and how Halloween teaches us to have joy in the face of fear. Plus a journey to New York’s year-round Halloween bar and Jon shares his obsession with sixties monster-themed surf rock.
