Summary

John Henson, a Southern Cheyenne Native American, is the go-to person when friends and family need their homes smoked off. But when he encounters a stubborn and angry cat-like entity, he has to dig deeper than ever before — all while being polite. For Spooked, and for the first time for a non-native audience, John shares his story.

Episodes now drop every week on Friday! Featuring brand new stories -- along with episodes previously available only by subscription. Listen for free on any podcast platform. Be afraid.

Thanks so much to John Henson for sharing your story with us.

Original score by Leon Morimoto, produced by Chris Hambrick + Anne Ford, artwork by Teo Ducot
