Happy Halloween! This week, we're discussing Black folktales and old wives' tales. We get into storytelling and spooky tales we shared as children. Leah's Granny drops some knowledge, and we indulge our resident conspiracy theorist, Dani, in some of her favorite conspiracy theories. Spoiler, we definitely believe aliens walk among us.
