Hey everyone Matt here. I'm the host of suspect. I'm a journalist by trade, but here's a little secret in my spare time I read and listen to a lot of scary stories

It's an unhealthy pastime. I know. Anyway, I want to tell you a little bit about a great new scary story

podcast. It's called Run Fool, and the creator is one of my favorite writers, Rodney Barnes.

If you've watched Winning Time on HBO, you probably already know Rodney.

He was a screenwriter and executive producer.

Or maybe you've read some of Rodney's great comic books.

At any rate, trust me, this guy can write.

And in Run Fool, Rodney turns his pen towards scary tales from all over the US,

from places you may have heard of, and plenty of places you haven't.

Each episode is easy to consume in one sitting, it's scary enough to keep you up all night long.

I'm going to play you a clipper run fool, which you can find on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you download

and listen to your favorite shows.

I'll be back after the clip. I heard about the wind to go bystance. About two years ago I was on a nice fishing

trip in the uppers of Minnesota with a couple of old buddies from grade school.

Don't ask, it was their idea. Apparently some folks like to freeze their asses off of fun and minimal returns at least in my case

Anyway, after about an hour of sitting on a frozen lake, I tossed my lines and told my friends they could find me at the diner by the lake, sipping something very, very hot.

So I made my way there, if this hell that I had gone along with this plan in the first place.

Ice fishing? Really? I had been convinced fishing in the dead of winter

is going to be anything other than wretched.

But once I was eating some warm stew with a piping mug of coffee and hair,

I started feeling a little more generous towards my friends

and their favorite pastime.
