In this week's episode, we are ranting about stalking! The amount of people who have experienced being stalked is insane and frightening. We discuss stories of stalking that involve celebrities, the recent Idaho murders, and reddit stories. We as a society usually view stalking as more of something that happens to women and unfortunately, it happens to men more often than we think.  Although most people who are stalked are stalked by someone they know, we discuss more of those who are being stalked by complete strangers. Which do you feel is more frightening?If you or someone you know has been stalked, we would like to hear the story!
