    Pets

    This week, Leah and Nikki recklessly tug at their own (and possibly your) heartstrings by talking about pets! They find out - from the most reliable source - what pets they should have, and explore why the "crazy cat lady" stereotype exists. In our regular segments, Nikki brings the science and Leah showcases a creative project with the "aww" factor. Trigger warning: Grief, Bereavement.

    Casefiles: The Enfield Poltergeist

    The girls switch it up for a slightly different Casefiles episode this week, and fall firmly down the rabbit hole of a specific haunting. Nikki presents the case and the two discuss their findings... Could a child really fabricate such an elaborate hoax? Or will Nikki finally convince Leah that ghosts are real? And why do they owe anyone named Meggy an apology? This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

    Comfort Zones

    This week's episode is all about comfort zones! What are they? Why do we want to stay inside them? And what happens if we venture out of those spaces? Nikki and Leah share their own thoughts and experiences - some good, some bad. Nikki's Science Section delves into the evolutionary reasons why we might go out of our comfort zones, and Leah's Creative Corner explores how narratives disrupt characters' comfort zones, and what effect this can have on us.

    Paranormal Experiences

    To celebrate getting into double figures and over 1,000 downloads (THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU!), Nikki and Leah kick things off by answering your burning questions. After that, they remain in the spooky theme to talk about all things paranormal. What are paranormal experiences? What have Nikki and Leah experienced? And what do we think these occurrences really are? In Science Section, Nikki looks at what causes paranormal experiences and Leah sheds light on a paranormal niche in Creative Corner.

    Fears & Phobias

    Spooky season is here! Nikki and Leah take this opportunity to bring their fears and phobias to the surface, mere hours before streaming horror games for charity. They discuss where fear stems from, how it might affect different the genders, and how fears might be combatted. In Science Section, Nikki explores why fear has evolved, while in Creative Corner Leah looks at the changing tropes within the horror genre.
