To hear this episode and its mind blowing conclusion, ya gotta come and join us by the fireside, on our Patreon.There is an idea, buried deep within every human being, that says "Anywhere I can go, I should go." And so we climb mountains, we sail oceans, we plunge into pitch black caverns, every time with the confidence and entitlement that comes from the idea that we are fundamentally welcome in the world.That idea is wrong.There are some places. There are some woods. There are some glades. And in these places, we are very much unwelcome.Happy Spooky season, kids. Heads up, there's more gore than usual in this one.Starring Lou Wilson, Aabria Iyengar, Erika Ishii, and Brennan Lee MulliganProduced by Taylor MooreEdited and Designed by Brian Flaherty of Many Sided Media.
