Are you sitting down? It's about time we had the talk. When a mommy ghost and a daddy ghost love each other very much that's how a baby ghost is born! This week Em brings us the origins of Casper the Friendly Ghost and still manages to traumatize Christine. Meanwhile, Christine dives into the wild story of Jack Gilbert Graham, a truly pre-TSA tale. We also preview a theme song remix a genius listener sent us that is definitely our new live show intro music. And we discuss plans for our Halloween sleepover... and that's why we drink!

E375 Joann's Haberdashery and Ghost Logic

It's episode 374 and are technical issues bringing us closer together? We're so sorry, YouTube Boozers and Shakers, for the lag (we edited the audio separately so you won't hear the same overlapping issues there). We're making up for it with a new Compliment Christine segment. This week Em takes us way, way back to the origins and dark side of nursery rhymes. Then Christine covers the more recent Polish case of Krystian Bala. And has Em just dubbed Christine the "Princess of Pronouns"? ...and that's why we drink! 

We wrote a second book! Pre-orders are open and super important for our ratings so treat yourself to our second spooky travel compendium, A Haunted Road Atlas: Next Stop here - http://bit.ly/HRANextStop

E374 A Big Queer Door and The Mulberry Bush of the Year

Welcome to April Ghouls: Two Boos and a Lie! This year for April Fool's Eva is bringing us some ghoulish energy and we're terrified. She has artisanally, hand selected two listener stories about "ladies in white", written a third herself and challenged Em and Christine to figure out which one is the imposter story. What impending foolishness! Can you pick the fake? ...and that's why we drink!

Don't miss our very last On the Rocks live shows in Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Los Angeles!

Listener Stories: Vol. 90

It's episode 373 and our other car is a hoop and stick! Who else is feeling the butterflies of putting a new project out into the universe? Christine and her Etsy shop can relate (link below). This week Em takes us to Sudbury, Massachusetts (where we may or may not be currently driving through) to bring us the haunted tales of the Longfellow's Wayside Inn. Then Christine covers the wildly divisive and heartbreaking case of Anthony Broadwater and Alice Sebold. And don't forget to moisturize from the inside out... and that's why we drink!
