Cheryl Couture has experienced an entire lifetime of food-related embarrassments. On today's GHOULISH, we talk at length about spooky food, disgusting food, and mysterious food. We also make podcast history by being the first show to begin their recording brushing our teeth and chugging orange juice on the air. The majority of this podcast is unlistenable. Enjoy.

Anthony Wayne Hepp is a natural storyteller. To celebrate the publication of his first short story, we gathered around the ol' GHOULISH campfire and discussed everything there is to analyze when it comes to storytelling. We attempt to answer the one question that's been driving society insane for centuries: What the heck is a story???

Dustin Katz joined me on the latest episode of GHOULISH to discuss his spooky "fear of the self" theory, which I immediately derailed with Elliott Smith conspiracy theories. At some point, we walk through the entire plot of Oedipus Rex, too, so...uhh...spoilers?
