S14 Ep2: Hags, Most Horrid!

About this episode

The episode explores the misunderstood nature of hags throughout history.

Greetings, Dear Guests! We have for you this fine evening the opportunity to get to know some...unusual ladies. Okay. Hags. We'd like you to meet and take into your mushy, human heart a variety of horrific hags! We believe you'll find these unique women are often just misunderstood and have been mislabeled by a close-minded society. We also believe you'll find them to be mysterious, unpredictable...and hungry. From Ancient Greece to modern times, hags have been in the very midsts of mankind, and we suggest you warm up to them! Welcome... Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
