Halloween 2020: The Politics, The Prophecy, And The Polarization

This hour, visit a West Hartford history professor’s eye-opening Halloween display about Black Lives Matter and Covid-19, and hear what passersby think of it.

Then, meet a pastor from Indiana who tells us about why he believes that the blue moon this Halloween is a sign of end times.

Finally: Candy corn! The CEO of Jelly Belly gives us a history lesson, one woman reports back from having eaten Brecht’s new “Turkey Dinner Candy Corn”, and the co-star of an Atlanta, Georgia-based YouTube channel walks us through the process of making candy corn coated buffalo wings.

Join the conversation onFacebook,Twitter, and email.
