The only things really scary in our Halloween episode are Bryan’s embarrassing attempt to talk about fashion and his usual bad jokes. We throw in zombies, tiny people, and gentlemen demons for good measure. What’s tickling our fancy: church cuisine, morning tv, retro-modern augmented reality novels and a whole lot of other podcasts that will tickle your fancy thus completing some sort of fancy tickling feedback loop. And Crystal wins an argument via Iphone. Thank you Steve Jobs.
Our Halloween picks:
World War Z by Max Brooks
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
The Teeny Tiny Woman by Arthur Robins
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty by Metropolitan Museum of Art
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season Four, Episode Ten, “Hush” by Joss Whedon
