In the Dark Horse Comics title Dead Mall, available now as a trade paperback, five teens explore an abandoned shopping mall, only to discover that not only is the mall not empty, it's driven by an evil force, and populated by strange creatures — and everything seems quite hungry. Written by Adam Cesare with art by David Stoll, Dead Mall is a supernatural cosmic horror and fresh entry to the mall horror subgenre that calls to mind The Shining, Hellraiser, and the works of Lovecraft. Cesare and Stoll join host Aaron Sagers to talk about what makes malls scary, the new kind of haunted houses in America, and the urban legends/Internet folklore of modern Americana. _______________________________________________________________ Talking Strange Paranormal Podcast with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, with a weekly "Small Talk" mini-sode with reader submitted letters and spooky tales.

Parsing Immigration Policy
How U.S. Border Policies Led to Child Labor and Home-Country Financial Instability

Parsing Immigration Policy

The Guatemalan Highlands have a low homicide rate and strong family and community structure. For those in this region, immigration to the United States is an economic decision and usually means paying smugglers to send a teenage family member to find a job and sending money home – in the past couple of years under the guise of seeking asylum. But the strong appeal of migration northward has had a staggering impact on communities, destabilizing the family structure, putting the minors in harm's way, and causing financial harm.Dr. David Stoll, a professor of anthropology at Middlebury College, has spent decades doing field research in Guatemala in the Mayan town of Nebaj. He has documented the migration stream to the United States from 1997-2005 and the crushing impact of the collapse of jobs in the U.S. in 2006. The U.S. jobs had been the only hope for most to pay back the high-interest smuggler loans. The result was a devastating town financial crash that included many families losing their homes.Stoll and Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and host of Parsing Immigration Policy, discuss the U.S. policies and loopholes that encourage Guatemalan families to send their work-ready teenagers to the U.S., as described in Stoll's recent article, “Why Are Underage Central Americans in US Factories?”In his closing commentary, Krikorian highlights a recent blog post by Andrew Arthur, "What's Biden Doing with Migrants at the Ports of Entry?".HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestDr. David Stoll is a Professor of Anthropology at Middlebury CollegeRelatedWhy Are Underage Central Americans in US Factories?Book: El Norte or Bust!: How Migration Fever and Microcredit Produced a Financial Crash in a Latin American TownRemittances as Rents in a Guatemalan Town: Debt, Asylum, the U.S. Job Market, and Vulnerability to Human TraffickingBook: Enrique's Journey Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with His MotherWhat's Biden Doing with Migrants at the Ports of Entry?An Overwhelmed Border Patrol Is Missing an Epidemic of Runners and ‘Got-aways'FollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.
