It's time again for our Halloween episode! And what better master of the macabre than Edgar Allan Poe. The horror anthology show, “Inner Sanctum” utilized many of Poe's works throughout their series. In this telling of “The Tell-Tale Heart,” they've fleshed out the story to include multiple characters and a plot that might be a bit different than you remember from the original telling. And then Madison got involved. But don't worry, it's still gory and spooky! And BONUS! This is a crossover episode with Edward October of the horror podcast “OctoberPod AM” So enjoy!

We give it another chance to prove itself by consulting the guide on set up a flower garden. The lab mice (or what's left of them) are at it again. This time we sent them out to investigate a dilemma every traveler faces when selecting an airline seat: Aisle, Middle or Window? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dad jokes -- the gift that keeps on giving? Today on our month-long "Odd News+" series we look at a new survey that suggests having a laugh can be good for the whole family. Plus, Warner Bros Discovery makes an announcement and a new look at a classic statue. A study conducted by both Penn State University and Columbia College in Chicago examined the use of humor in a parent/child relationship. The results seem to be good news for all those Dad jokes out there. Warner Bros Discovery has made a name for itself – and not a good one – when it comes to their track record on films. We poke a bit of fun at that concept. Nothing says funny like a jab at a piece of sculpture. But we give it a go. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
