We ask if phobias are truly dysfunctional—and test the line between rational caution and irrational panic

Send us Fan MailThe Dysfunciton of Phobias and Fears is on the list this episode. If you can stand on a mountain ledge but freeze on a glass walkway, this one’s for you.  We also scan a Halloween‑flavored list of phobias (arachnophobia, coulrophobia, nyctophobia, and more), laughing at the labels without dismissing the lived reality behind them. Under the humor sits a practical core: fear becomes dysfunctional when it narrows your life.Support the showThank you for listening.  Be sure to check out our Facebook and Instagram pages for additional content.
