I’ve been trying to track down a show. Perhaps someone can help. I’m looking for the episode where the boy goes over to the neighbors house because the old neighbor is missing. Turns out she’s dead and her dogs died as well from eating her. I think it’s in the spooky story section. Can anyone help me?

Sure, Jacob. It’s on the BEST OF RISK! #3. It’s called “Dog Day AfterAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!” by Ken Reid.

I love that you used an image from the Rankin-Bass “Little Drummer Boy” for this episode icon!

We try to feature an image from a classic Holiday special for these most years, but I can only think of like 10 that I actually recall from my youth!

OMG no one tell Monte Lamonte Jesus is just Santa for adults. Great episode.

I know I’m a little late, but I’m listening to this episode today. Susan Kent’s “Heartbroken” story was so touching. I’m so sorry your mother denied you the liberation of forgiveness before she departed, but I applaud you for having the courage to rise above it, and find happiness again. You seem like a good person, and I hope you find success, health, and everything else your heart desires throughout your journey in life.

Since I heard these tales I knew I had an appreciation for my own frailties. Thanks Kevin. Still a fan but this particular case took me a while to find. My wife needed to hear it. From Winnipeg with love, Tim
