Lock the door, it’s part 2 of 3 in our annual Halloween Spooktacular!

Zach has The Boss on the brain, Brian dives into the robust Victorian justice system, and Gena tells us of brand-new invention, you know, for kids.
*NOTE* So, there is a slight audio problem with this episode. One of the tracks accidentally exported with a click track, and by the time we caught it, it was too late to get rid of completely. We did the best we could, but it is noticeable at times. BUT! This is episode was so much fun and we hope it doesn’t bother you.
