In part 2 of Terrifyiing Talon Tales by The Talon radio station, Tate Lauby shares a spooky story.

In this first episode of the podcast, called CK-1, a dream that principle Dr. John Burdett has for his school and the students is shared. Every other week will be a new topic and discussion about Proper High School. Dr. Burdett is known for always ending emails with the phrase "for the kids." As a result, the podcast title has a double meaning. CK-1, standing for Senior Design Editor Caitlyn Kennedy, is one of them but principle Cares for Kids, a tribute to Burdett's email closings, also contributes to the concept.
