    In this special episode Eimear is nothing short of delighted to have Grace back and they have a special guest along to discuss the latest Scream movie to hit the big screen. They did their best to not spoil the ending but better to be safe and go watch the movie and then take a listen. Warning though to turn up the volume for this episode as Grace and Eimear do their best ASMR impression while discussing Ghostface and we could not help but wonder does Ghostface think of the BYWH podcast as much as they think of him.
