BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast

It’s Halloween month, so Cody and Chris have decided to do a two part episode.  In this episode (part 1), they discuss the phenomena of possession. They talk about some (maybe) familiar cases and debate why you should (or shouldn’t) play with a ouija board.   There is even a good story about one of their themed drinks and they talk about the worst STD ever: The Devil’s Herpes.  BS Weekly delves into the possibility of mass possession.  Today’s drinks of choice are:  Cassillero del Diablo and Troublemaker.
