SURPRISE! It's the most wonderful time of the year, so we just HAD to get an episode out to you. We are still working on new ones, so we're not quite back yet, but enjoy this episode while you're waiting. Madman Madriaga joins Logan via Skype (excuse the sound quality) to chat about Filipino ghost stories, the state of the world, Rat Roulette, how maybe 2020 is Logan's fault?, and much more! We are proud members of the Straight Up Strange Productions family! More info and shows at...
