Minor Fears

Kelsey Wharton and Erica Ladd
About this episode

In honor of spooky season, we're revealing – and laughing over – our minor fears. Find out why you too should be terrified of: arts and craft, a trip to the zoo, sending a friendly text, and more.

For Friends of the Show on Patreon, we're each sharing a time we had to overcome a fear.

Also for Friends of the Show, mark your calendars for Sunday, November 16 at 9 am Pacific / 12 pm Eastern for our live Holiday Hangout!
