Happy Halloween!

As I sat down to plan out this second episode, I actually had an entirely different agenda. I outlined everything that I wanted to say, and then did a 180.

It just didn’t feel right to do a podcast on Halloween, that wasn’t actually about Halloween! I mean really, how often are Halloweens on Fridays? I had to honor that.

So I redid everything and hopefully what I came up with makes sense. This was done almost completely on the fly and includes a bunch of my personal anecdotes about my experiences with this very woo-woo Holiday, including how my mom thought it was about Devil worship!

This latest episode is about the true history of Halloween, so that you can make up your own mind about what you want to think about it.

Personally, I think it’s all about fun, magic, and of course, tradition.

Listen to Episode 2:
