Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I Heart Radio's House Stuff Works.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh,

I love to scare the pants off of you Clark, and there's Charles Gasley Chuck Bryant,

and Jerry's floating out there somewhere in the ether, which makes this stuff you should know.

I thought you were going to say Chuck, scare the pants back on you Bryant.

Oh that's even better, maybe we should edit that in and say it again but with feeling.

That was as much feeling as I could muster these days.

I'm man I'm with you buddy, I'm with you but we're not here to talk about anything in the world

except scaring the pants off and then back on people with our annual Halloween episode.

Correct sir.

So Chuck, we come up with a couple of pretty good ones I would say this year.

I'm in love with yours.

I think these are both really good and I was surprised to see Philip K. Dick had stuff in the public domain.

Well we read one in his last year.

Did we?

Yeah, the hanging man I think is what it was called.

Sure.

It was very scary, very creepy, but I think it was just last year that his stuff first came in,

which goes to show you how old we are.

I think it's not an age thing right?

I think just certain ones were put in the public domain.

I feel like if they don't copyright it after X number of decades it automatically goes into the public domain.
