The Sinister Side of Bedtime Stories

from Pull My Leg · host Mark Manning and Miles Harrison

Meet Dr. Petunia Halloway — Professional Nighttime Narrator, Amateur Creepologist, and part-time menace to baristas everywhere. From the haunting origins of “Rock-a-Bye Baby” (spoiler: that cradle was never OSHA-approved) to the questionable life choices of Mother Goose, Dr. Halloway pulls back the nursery curtain to reveal the dark underbelly of children’s songs and stories.Raised by shadow puppeteers and armed with a PhD in Subtle Terror in Nursery Rhymes, she’s here to prove that bedtime has always been just a little terrifying.👉 If you’ve ever wondered whether lullabies were written to comfort kids or just quietly spook them into obedience, this episode of Pull My Leg is for you.Instagram: @pullmylegpodcastYouTube: @pullmylegpodcast#PullMyLegPodcast #ImprovComedy #ComedyPodcast #FakeExperts #CreepyLullabies #MadeUpHistory #AbsurdComedy
