It's time for another Terrified Together! We sat down with fellow podcaster @stevenraymorris host of See Jurassic Right and former producer of My Favorite Murder, to swap spooky listener stories, starting with how we each fell for horror.
Then we got into a ghost encounter that started in 2009 and a seaside stargazing trip that took a very eerie turn. We rounded it out with Steven's haunted weekend in Chicago and a few Jurassic Park tangents. instagr.am/p/DfacHSRGJRr/

Today marks 18 years since Michael Crichton’s passing.
Michael had a rare gift for seeing what was coming. He wrote about genetic engineering in Jurassic Park, artificial intelligence in Westworld, nanotechnology in Prey, the patenting of human genes in Next, and an emergency care system stretched to its breaking point in his revolutionary series ER, often years before the rest of the world caught up. Today his work still turns up in conversations about the very technologies he imagined, from research labs to newsrooms.
Through all of it, he was a writer first. He followed his curiosity wherever it led and turned it into stories that readers are still discovering.
The legend lives on.

Lost Weekend has been such a tremendous gift this year. A tribute to figuring things out, Phoebe Bridgers has ascended, taking us arm in arm into the light. Tonight’s show was for the true believers and I’m on cloud nine right now.
LOST MEDIA: In 1993, an animated series titled ESCAPE FROM JURASSIC PARK was in development.
It was eventually cancelled before full production; however, not before a lot of work was done, including a pitch trailer.
At long last, that trailer has been unearthed.
