After fading into obscurity, his art is now the center of a new exhibition at the American Folk Art Museum, Morris Hirshfield Rediscovered, on view until January 29. The show's curator and Art History professor Richard Meyer joins to discuss.

America's graveyards hold fascinating history, one that illustrates both the promise of freedom and opportunity in America, but also sheds light on some of the most horrific aspects of the nation. Author Greg Melville dives into this history in his new book, Over My Dead Body: Unearthing the Hidden History of America's Cemeteries. Plus, we take calls from listeners about the spookiest or coolest graveyard they've visited.

If you are going out for Halloween tonight, you'll likely see some people dressed as Pearl, the murderous star of the acclaimed horror films, "X," and "Pearl." Both films were released this year and directed by Ti West. Mia Goth stars in both films as Pearl at different stages of her life. In "X," the first to be released, Goth stars as an elderly Pearl, seeking revenge on the young people around her as an outlet for her sexual frustration. In "Pearl," which Goth co-wrote with West, we see Goth as a younger Pearl, determined to become a big Hollywood star at any cost. "X" is available to stream now on Showtime, and "Pearl" is in theaters and in video on demand. Mia Goth joins us to discuss.

For her recent New York Times article, "How to Live With a Ghost," reporter Anna Kodé spoke with Americans who are certain they live with spirits. She joins us for a conversation about the article as well as takes calls from listeners about their paranormal experiences.
