26. Fright This Way! It's the Halloween Edition

Fright this way! It’s the Halloween edition of Two Flat Whites Podcast 🎃 We love our themed episodes and hope you’re ready for some ghoulish content this week.

Ever wondered what Halloween is like for an Australian? Let’s just say we don’t eat candy corn by the bucket load for the duration of October. We’re giving you the history of Halloween and the origins behind the bizarre traditions you’ve come to know and love. We also dive into the intriguing psychology and science behind scare culture and why we enjoy being scared 👻 Fascinating! And of course, some spooky season themed ‘Reddit Reacts’ and ‘Would You Rather’ segments are also in store.
