Strange Talk

This week Alyx and Robin are joined by Joanna, Garrett, and Justin of Coven of Screams. Coven of Screams host the Iced Coffee with Heavy Screams podcast, and now are hosting their first horror convention called GhoulieCon in Covington, KY.

If you're feeling lonely this season, please reach out to the people who love you and remember you're not alone.

This week Alyx and Robin are joined by a frequent caller, Mark Brown from K.R.E.A.T.U.R.E.S.! Mark tells us a story he's never told before about some late night visitors. We talk a little about weird early memories and recurring dreams. We also recognize the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald anniversary on November 10th.

This week Alyx and Robin are getting a little extra strange. We're visited by Franklin, possibly a taco wizard, possibly our new intern. Then we're talking Dia de los Muertos, witch trials, Arthur Miller's The Crucible, chickens having power, creepy Pokémon, and tracking pandemics through zombie apocalypse simulations. Robin may have mistakenly agreed to re-write a Salem Witch Trials rap in the style of the One Piece pirate rap. We also talk about Tom Waits because of course we do. This episode is more heavy on the strange and weird than the paranormal, which makes sense as we slowly pass by spooky season and the air gets chillier.
