This week, the beetches talk about the dark stuff that happened at asylums. Sam focuses on the horrible things that happened especially to women, while Rachel tells us about a possibly haunted asylum in Australia. Also discussed: whale’s exploding and horror movie recommendations. Thanks for listening, enjoy, and stay spooky, beetches!
