It's October so it's officially the start of spooky season. All of the folks on the podcast today are based in the US so it's been the countdown to Halloween for us since April. Gotta love that American capitalism.
But scary definitely is the theme of this week's podcast as we'll be discussing the rise of anti masker groups on Facebook, the battle of misinformation and bears.
Joining special guest host Fay Schofield on the podcast today we have not one. Not two. Not three. But FOUR guests. We have:
Alex "Hocus Pocus" Hudson
Angela "Vampire" Velarde
Maggie "Monster Mash" McCarthy
Abby "RIP" Reutzel
This lovely lot are part of the social media crew over at M+R so expect lots of social chatter from us.
