Happy Halloween!

from Civics & Coffee: A History Podcast · host Alycia

Hey everyone!  I  know I mentioned talking about the rebels of the revolution in from Boycott to Bloodshed, but I took an offramp from the normal linear history path to share some background on Halloween in America. From the Celtic origins of the Samhain festival to the history of Haunted Houses, I touch on a few of the things that make Halloween the best holiday of the year. I even ventured into a little true crime with the Candy Man murder. Enjoy! I will return next week with the promised episode!
