I'm Horrified‪!‬ Sam Beairsto & Allie Gavin

When's the last time the story about trees moved you to tears? Oh The Giving Tree... well what about a story about CHESTNUTS and also the erosion of family farming culture in the American South?
The Chestnut Blight is a little known story that ought to be common knowledge because it basically impacts every facet of life as we know it. Who knew a fungal pathogen could do so much damage? You will grow to love the Chestnut Tree, as we do, and to mourn it - but there may yet be hope on the horizon. Roast those chestnuts over an open fire, Horror Honeys!

Historical scholars argue over a great many subjects, but there's one thing we can all agree on: William Henry Harrison probably should have worn a coat during his inauguration. There's not a whole lot to say about Old Tippecanoe that doesn't have to do with him famously dying a month after taking office - thats kind of his thing. Maybe he was cursed, we're not sure, but maybe - if he was he 100% deserved it! Zip up your jackets, horror honeys.

Wow, this is an episode we truly never thought we would have to make... but we want to thank our listeners for their support during this difficult time. Today we're talking about Youtube Breakup Videos - you know, the videos you see when your favorite mommy vlogger breaks up with her generic looking husband and they have to make a whole thing over it. Is it money? Is it fame? Is it the crushing weight of scheduling too many Cameo videos? Who's to say, all we know now is that it's over. Hold your horror honeys close, horror honeys, til death do you part.

Is it a bear? is it a three legged kangaroo? Is it a short little Alien from outer space? Regardless, let's all get our guns and start shooting indiscriminately into the woods. This week Allie really phones it in and basically just reads you a newspaper article, but we swear it's so out of pocket you'll understand why. Who knows what Henry McDaniel saw that night, but one thing we know for sure is that after April 25th 1973, the small town of Enfield Illinois was catapulted into radio show sci fi hysteria. In an academic paper written about the incident, a researcher did admit "some people tactfully suggested Mr. McDaniel had a notoriously overactive imagination"... but thats exactly what an invading monster from outer space would WANT you to think! Dust off your tinfoil hats, Horror Honeys!
