Episode 1: Killer Clowns Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

Haunting red noses, booming laughs, and enormous shoes. Clowns are terrifying enough on their own, but when you add “killer” to the list of descriptors, it can get a lot more spooky. Join Sav and Bree in discussing what lurks inside both circus tents and sewer drains. *WARNING this episode discusses sensitive subjects such as death, murder, sexual assault, and suicide.
