Ring-a-Ring of Darkness - Season 5 (Ep 1)

In this first episode of our new season, we swing the light on the nostalgic rhymes we all thought were oh so innocent. From the “choppy, choppy” ending of Oranges & Lemons, to the suspicious little tumble in Jack and Jill, to the surprising truth lurking behind    Baa Baa Black Sheep—these childhood favourites carry stories far darker than the playground ever let on. Join us in the Shack as we explore forgotten histories, curious theories, and the uneasy moments when nostalgia meets nightmare. Expect laughter, a little confusion with Steph’s notes… (not a surprise), a few atmospheric chills, and of course, Mort chiming in with his withering commentary.
