Discussion thread: WHAT IS CREEPY? episode is published!
Added 2025-10-03 22:08:59 +0000 UTCLet's call it Serpopyschology. And let's kick off Spooktober 2025.
In this episode with Dr. Frank McAndrew, we chat: dates that give you the willies, Weary Willie the Clown, haunted dolls, college goths, dark alleyways, evolutionary neurobiology, what NOT to get Oprah, the line between horror and comedy, the phobia of balloons, dating tips, and why you should re-evaluate your bathmat.
Did you know there was a field of study on what makes something creepy? Now you do. Let's discuss below!
Also I'm posting this two days late because Wednesday was your podmother, Jarrett's 40th birthday and we have a bunch of family in town to celebrate him. We're forcing him to perform a musical he's been working on and y'all, it's so good.
Also in other Ward household live show news: save the date for Monday, Nov 17 in NYC! I'll send the pre-sale link just for Patrons next week! I am nervous, and I hope it's fun.
Okay onward with Spooktober!
