The Aftermath: Halloween Candy Hysteria

The Alarmist - Un pódcast de The Alarmist

Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware and author of “The Razor Blade in the Apple: The Social Construction of Urban Legends,” Joel has been researching reports of Halloween candy tampering since 1985. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join Rebecca to put a pin (or razor blade?) in this cultural alarm.
