    Ficsation 1.4 - Jon and Courage

    Daniel is joined by his Stories Across Borders co-host to talk about iconic 90’s/early 2000s cartoon, Courage the Cowardly Dog. They discuss how the show explored various fears, and often surprisingly dark storylines, in a way that was both educational and palatable for children. Content Warning: Courage the Cowardly Dog often touched on very real phobias and traumas, even if they were presented in a kid-friendly manner. We do touch on these things in the episode.

Content Warning: Upright deals a lot with issues involving mortality and suicide.
