We are still working on new ones, so we're not quite back yet, but enjoy this episode while you're waiting. Madman Madriaga joins Logan via Skype (excuse the sound quality) to chat about Filipino ghost stories, the state of the world, Rat Roulette, how maybe 2020 is Logan's fault?, and much more!
In the mood for a ghost story? Of course you are! Telling ghost stories around a fire at Christmastime was a beloved tradition in the Victorian era...so it's kind of the perfect time for it!

Happy Holidays, from the Straight Up Strange Podcast Family! We collaborated with the other shows in our network to bring you a rendition of the poem "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Clement Clarke Moore. It warms our lil' hearts and we hope it brings you some holiday cheer and some new shows to listen to. Check them out at StraightUpStrange.com!
We are going to be taking a short hiatus due to lack of funds and being behind basically always - this will give us time to prep and record some stuff, and we'll be back on September 1st! Please subscribe to our Patreon, where we are uploading our solo folk tale narrations, or feel free to donate via the Paypal button on our website, folkloreontherocks.com. Anything helps! If you're not able to, we completely understand, and will be back in your ears soon enough! We love you all!
