Halloween Sadism from Cautionary Tales

Here’s a preview from another podcast we love, Cautionary Tales. On Cautionary Tales, bestselling author Tim Harford finds the morals in moments from the greatest mistakes and tragic catastrophes of the past. This Halloween season, he’s exploring “Halloween sadism” – where a stranger puts something dangerous in the treats collected by children. Razor blades in apples. Rat poison in chocolate. That sort of thing. Fantastical reports of trouble pop up every spooky season, but is trick or treating really something to worry about? Or is there a more likely danger awaiting children on Halloween night? Hear the full episode, and more from Cautionary Tales, at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/cthalloween?sid=strangeville.

Superb or supper

2022-11-26

Both! So good it’s like a tasty supper after a long day just ends it right! It’s interesting like murder podcasts but way more funny! Like seriously a tiger? Can’t wait to listen to the new ones! Love the variety! Can we get confirmation on when the next season is coming? Originally I had 5 but because of the lack of content and information on when the next episode will be its now a four at least tell us if there even will be more episodes
Fascinating, funny and peculiar

This is the perfect antidote to all the bad news we’ve been hearing for the past year and a half. Normally, I’m a true crime (murder) fanatic but this tells human interest stories in an entertaining and informative way. Looking forward to more episodes!
So good!
