We celebrate Halloween by diving into The Twilight Zone as a trove of modern parables that press on fear, conscience, and hope. Rod Serling’s craft opens space to talk about mob panic, prejudice, premonition, mental health, and a Christian view of death without preaching.

It's not necessary to be familiar with the episodes we discuss prior to listening, but there are spoilers. If you want to watch before listening, check out "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", "Twenty Two", "Hitch-Hiker", and "Willoughby."
