Sh*t That Scares Me

Welcome to Memphis

On today's episode, we're wandering through the history and hauntings of my new home, Memphis, Tennessee. I love it here, as I've mentioned approximately a million times. I give a high-level overview of the history of Memphis and some of the haunted places that can be found here, including the Orpheum Theatre, the Woodruff-Fontaine House, and Ernestine & Hazel's. I plan to do more in-depth episodes about all of these places, but here's a taste of the history and ghosties.

New podcaster terror

Today I'm talking about how stage fright, imposter syndrome, and my generally dickish brain all conspired to try and stop me from starting or returning to Sh*t That Scares Me. and how my love of the medium brought me back. I also shout out a few of my favorite podcasts.

A conversation about addiction

In this week's episode, we're talking about something I've been scared of most of my life: addiction. My partner, Rory, was kind enough to tell us about his experience as an alcoholic and what his recovery journey has been like. I learned a lot about his life before we met and what it's like for him in recovery. If anyone listening is struggling with addiction, please know that you don't have to live like this, and help is available.

It's been a minute...

I started a podcast almost 3 years ago. I loved it. Then, I abandoned it. But now I'm back, albeit in a different city, with a wild two years of experiences behind me, and I'm eager to share some of those experiences here. So if you enjoyed Sh*t That Scares Me before, welcome back! If you're new here, hi! Get ready to talk about some scary shit.

Mickey is haunted

This is one of the original episodes of my show, first uploaded in the spring of 2021. It's not great, and I've grown a lot as a human and a podcaster since then, but I feel it's important to remember where I started.
