202-Greek Myths: Dead Poets Society

This week it is the very very spooky* Halloween episode about a terrifying** trek through the Greek underworld. It's definitely not a lighthearted romp where a Greek god makes a podcast, trick-or-treats as Hercules, and emcees a poetry competition. Nope. Not at all.

The creatures this week are bogeymen! I don't know why it's pronounced like that they don't boogie but they do eat children.
