Show Notes
Anyone else out there over this summertime nonsense? If you’re like us, you’re already ready for spooky season, so we’re just gonna pretend it’s here already by discussing some Halloweentime things like ouija boards, adult Halloween traditions, and some of our new go-to Halloween flicks. Turn the AC up, grab a cup of cider, and let’s all pretend together. (Also, I have a cold so apologize if any sick sounds made it in. I did my best.)
