Confronting Superstitions and Embracing Luck

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Bad Luck,” in which Robyn receives a chain letter asking for a dollar and promising grave consequences if refused. Believing the letter wholeheartedly, Jessie tries to persuade Robyn to comply. When she does not, the two friends spend the rest of the episode debating whether Robyn’s run-of-the-mill misfortunes are the cause of supernatural bad luck, or just a normal part of life. Also, the invention of a fun new mail-related game, a Christianese word study, and an open invitation to confess (podfess?) at our confessional (i.e. podfessional).
