HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Today, we’re talking haunted house mishaps and embarrassing spooky season stories in general. This episode features one of the funniest miscommunications we’ve had on the pod in a while, and that’s saying something. Then, appropriately, we’re talking about some spooky reads including a couple of witch stories (with varying degrees of horror/coziness), and a true-crime-podcast-esque mystery. And don’t forget to grab your copy of All This Could Be Different for Libby’s November book club! Stay tuned for dates. <3 thanks so much for listening!
