Furby's Revenge with "Unspookable" Podcast

This is a collaborative look at the panics around Furby with the podcast Unspookable, a show much like ours that takes a more kid-friendly approach to understanding urban legends. In honor of the return of Furby to toy stores in July 2023, we revisit some of the ridiculous myths and freaky stories around the hottest toy of the late 90s, and look deeper into what it says about human nature and America as a whole. Listen to our good buddies at Unspookable Become a patron of our show! This episode was produced by Nate Dufort and Chelsey Weber-Smith Hosted by Elise Parisian Head writing by Ellenor Riley-Condit The AH theme song was composed by Hakan Erikkson The special mashup theme song was created by Jesse Case Special thanks to Jonah, Bella, Isabella, and Jon Learn more about your ad choices.
