  • Summary

  • Though it kicks off with a few ghost appearances (Gus?!), this week’s episode is more on the fairy side of the realm. Shannon discusses the case of Bridget Cleary and the supposed supernatural forces that took the “real” Bridget from her family during an illness. Discussion of disability, neurodivergence, and the reactions to those with either, both in the past and today, turns quickly into some disability book recs and a reminder to broaden your content horizons! Stay tuned at the end for how we became friends and remember WE’RE NOT MAD AT YOU!!
