Unspookable

SCP may be one of our most requested topics ever due to its presence on ROBLOX, but many of us don't know much about this strange foundation and their mission to Serve, Contain, and Protect. We were thrilled to talk to an expert, podcast producer Pacific S. Obadiah, about all things SCP including its origins and enduring popularity in it's over 7,000 entires. That and more on today's episode of Unspookable.

Where do our fears come from? For some of us, it’s past experiences… others, maybe a fear of the unknown… but if you're anything like the team at Unspookable, there is one man responsible for many of the characters, illustrations, and creatures, be it Cartoon Cat, Anxious Dogs, Long Horse, or Siren Head, that give us the shivers. We’re of course talking about writer and illustrator Trevor Henderson who sits down with Unspookable producer Nate DuFort this week to talk about where these ideas come from and his new middle grade novel Scarewaves available now from Scholastic Books. That and more on today's episode of Unspookable.

Do you celebrate Halloween? If so, what are some of your annual traditions? Maybe you dress up in costumes, carve a Jack-o'-lantern, go trick-or-treating? But have you ever wondered why we do these things? Or that they may be tied to rituals over 3,000 years old? We're discussing the unexpected origins of Halloween and the barrier between our world and beyond on this episode of Unspookable.

Do you believe in ghosts? That's a question most of us have asked or have been asked before. How do you respond? Is it something you may have seen? Something you may have felt? Or has the presence of ghosts in popular culture and on YouTube or TikTok convinced you that they might just exist? Well, however you answer these questions, we think it's time to set aside a few minutes to discuss the possibility that there just may be something out there. That and more on this episode of Unspookable.
