Halloween 2k15

Halloween!!! This show includes some rhymes, witch facts, and other halloween-related oddities from "The Hodgepodge Book". These include useful information such as "If you carry a penny in your pocket or wear a new dime in each show, witches can't harm you". Rocket tells a scary story about a man who sleeps in a haunted hotel. There are also scary stories from the book "More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" such as "The Voice" and "The Man in the Middle". Of course all this storytelling is accompanied by halloween-themed music such as "This Is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas, "Run" by The Maine from the album Forever Halloween, and the classic, "Monster Mash".

Davisville, 10/26/15: Tales for the supernatural season with novelist Eileen Rendahl

In her Messenger series, Davis novelist Eileen Rendahl tells the story of a young woman living in Sacramento whose unusual powers allow her to recognize and talk to supernatural creatures—including a vampire who’s also an emergency-room doctor, and a werewolf who has tended bar for nearly 100 years. On today’s show we talk about the story, her snarky protagonist, the appeal of supernatural fiction, and why the creatures are no longer the icons of dread they were in the classics ... which doesn’t mean they’re cuddly.
