Episode 118 – Fear Factors Part I: The Quiet Peeing of the Pants
What better way to kick off October than with another Superduperstitious Special Report! This edition seeks to answer the age old question: why come scary stories?
Jake and Wyatt start this two-ep deep dive with a variety of sample ghost stories past and present, and a look at the cultural and psychological factors that contribute to humanity’s timeless love of being frightened. Listen along to hear two 30-somethings get creeped out by a children’s book, and to wonder why some guys who are SO EASILY SCARED by damned near anything would choose to host this genre of podcast. It’s all here in Part I of this salute to spookiness itself!
