  • Two Truths & A Lie: Phrogging - Part 1
    Oct 27 2026

    Have you ever had the feeling that you weren't alone? That maybe there was someone watching you that you couldn't see? Have you ever had that feeling while in the supposed comfort of your home? As terrifying as it sounds, the act of phrogging is a very real occurrence and seems to be a worse form of squatting. Mainly because the homeowner had no idea that there was something on the other side of a wall or ceiling.

    Join us as we discuss three stories of people living in the attics, crawlspaces and within the walls of people's homes. The twist is that two of these stories are real and one is fake! Can you guess the real ones? Can you find the trick within the treats? Tune in now to find out!

  • ZOMBIES: ORIGINS
    Oct 20 2026

    That's right, we're doing zombies! Specifically, the origins of zombies in history, and how they came to the big screen. And as is fitting for zombies, they have a dark past.

    Bringing their religion over with them on the slave ships, West Africans in Haiti mixed theirs with the Roman Catholicism that their French rulers forced onto the slaves, creating Haitian Vodou. And a big part of Haitian Vodou is the belief in resurrections and zombies. But what brought the zombie to the American shores? And despite its sympathetic origin, how did they turn into one of the most popular horror movie monsters? Is this the true origins of zombies, or did Kyle make it up? Tune in now to find out!
