Michael Poteet is our guest this week on the Voices In My Head Podcast as we discuss the culture of fear that is so prevalent in our current climate. To guide our duscussion we take a look back at an episode of the Twilight Zone, Season 1, Episode 22. The title of the episode: The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. The classic TV show begins with this opening narration: Opening narration To The Episode Maple Street, U.S.A. Late summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, barbecues, the laughter of children and the bell of an ice cream vendor. At the sound of the roar and the flash of light, it will be precisely 6:43 p.m. on Maple Street. This is Maple Street on a late Saturday afternoon. Maple Street – in the last calm and reflective moment – before the monsters came.
