For our Leap Day Special, we go deep into the mythos and legends in search of those killer rabbits among us. We also breakdown Bugs Bunny as trickster demi-god, archetype extraordinaire. If you are thinking of leaping over this one, the bunnies will know! Blessings to the warren.
Many thanks and salutations to Mr. Tim Leavy of https://www.timleavy.com/ for writing us the greatest ever paranormal theme song, and for just generally being a spectacular human. Well done, sir!
