And That's Why We Drink

It’s Episode 497 and we're sharing some big news in that Christine will be leaving the podcast at the end of October.

We'll continue bringing the haunts year-round as we creep our way into a new, lovely, spooky chapter. And meanwhile we've got some fun stories for you today: Em brings us the biography, not biology, of one of Christine’s favorite people, Chip Coffey, the man of many names. Then Christine takes Em back to Idaho with a story we touched on in our second book, A Haunted Road Atlas: Next Stop, The Boise Murder House, with its sentient oil ball.
