This week brings part 2 of the first 2020 chat with a fellow podcaster – Mike speaks with Janine Mercer of the ODDentity Podcast & the upcoming podcast The Vanishing Hitchhiker!

In part 2 of their chat, begins with a delve into health & finite living, dealing with the deaths of people you know in different ways, people passing down stories which then moves into a discussion on the difference between urban legends & folklore before ending with horror movies & special effects (with a lot more in-between)!

In case you missed last week, in part 1 of their chat, Mike & Janine talk about collecting artefacts, Janine then tells a few brilliant tales of her past (including one of exploring a mine and one about donkey balls) and discusses some paranormal experiences she’s encountered & how perception can affect them. Fears & phobias is then discussed which leads into discussions on pandemics, germs, swine flu & much more!
