Wahhhh but also ACK! We are leaving you with some wonderful night calls from our wonderful listeners. But of course there is also a call about how The Big Chill and Cathy comics are connected, some rhapsodizing about monoliths (new and old), and a decision on what show is better: Frasier or Cheers. Some sentimental night calls to send us out, our favorite episodes and guests, reminiscing about Girls In Hoodies, and where we’d send our listeners to help fill the void. We promise we’ll be back someday on some astral plane. So long for now.

Last Call At Night Cheers

We are joined this week by writer and actress Mara Wilson to discuss how acting classes can function like cults and why. Mara reveals her personal Alison Mack story and talks about how we can protect child actors on sets. Then she tells us about her personal isolation tank experience and we try to figure out hacks for making isolation tank like experiences at home. At the end of the episode we have a very bittersweet important announcement about the show.

135: Mara Wilson, Acting Cults And Isolation Tanks

Emily is off this week, but Tess and Molly are taking your night calls about Joseph Smith, sphinx monuments, and the devil's tritone! First it's a night call about the Devil's Note, which some listeners liked and others did not at all. Then an email about Joseph Smith's head on the body of a Sphinx, and whether the "Salamander Letter" is a forgery (yes.) Molly waxes philosophical on the newest Housewives franchise: Salt Lake City, and reveals some behind the scenes info she got about why this series is so bonkers. Then it's prophetic dreams - who had them and why? Are they real, or self-fulfilling prophecies? What are our recurring dreams and nightmares? All this and women who marry their step-grandfathers, on an all new Night Call!

134: Mormon Sphinxes, The Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City, And Prophetic Dreams

November is Dreams Month at Night Call, and we're kicking it off with some incredible dream calls and emails from listeners. Of course there are also more pyramids and architecture talk too. This time it’s Brasilia - the faded poppy mid-century utopia that is Brazil’s capital, and The Summum Pyramid - the mummification temple from 70s religion Summum in Salt Lake City, Utah. Would we get mummified and more importantly, would we let Summum do it? But also: a viral Tik Tok about the Christian conspiracy that the COVID vaccine will implant a chip in your body that is actually the Mark Of The Beast (this makes it sound cooler than it is). And our first in depth missive from dreamland - a listener who believes they heard a weird frequency online that led them to have an experience they interpreted as demonic possession. We interpret their experience and talk about the power of frequencies and music to influence or induce emotional states. All this and Exploding Head Syndrome, on an all new Night Call!
