Listen "Why do people like being scared?"
Episode Synopsis
There are normal people like Jamie who hate being scared. Then there are psychos like Noreen who kind of enjoy it. So, why do these psychos like Noreen exist, and what attracts them to movies and activities that occasionally cause a full scale bowel evacuation? The girls dive deep into the human psyche on this spooky episode to ultimately find out what goes on in your head when you’re afraid. We’ll even throw it back to some Disney Channel Halloween favorites (seriously, what was up with “Don’t Look Under the Bed” being way too scary for children???) to get the nostalgia -- and childhood trauma -- flowing.Articles Referenced:PsychologyToday.com - 5 Reasons We Enjoy Being ScaredLiveScience.com - Why Some People Love Being ScaredSteemit.com - Why Do We Enjoy Being ScaredNational Center for Biotechnology Information - Sensation seeking in 3- to 6-year-old children: associations with socio-demographic parameters and behavioural difficulties
