In this episode, Roz Hernandez welcomes the iconic drag queen, comedian, and sculptor Juno Birch for a conversation that veers from the paranormal to the personal. The two bond over their shared sense of otherness and dive into a world of ghost stories, haunted objects, and unexplained phenomena, all while wrapped in zebra print.
The conversation begins with a listener's ghost story about the Liberace Museum, setting a spooky tone. Juno shares her theory that ghosts are imprints of traumatic events and discusses her non-religious upbringing in the UK, contrasting it with America's religious prominence. She recounts personal paranormal experiences, including a childhood camping trip near Loch Ness and a story about a haunted doll that caused strange occurrences in a house. The discussion moves to famous English ghost stories, such as the Pendle Witch trials and the screaming skull of Wardley Hall. Juno also recalls being locked in a closet for a never-aired haunted drag queen TV pilot. The episode concludes with explorations of a haunted doll from eBay, EVP recordings, and Juno's lifelong fascination with aliens, including a visit to Roswell.
