Summary

The history behind The Sunday Scaries Podcast as it exists today. From starting my first Tumblr page in 2013 to recording my first episode, there were a lot of speed bumps, lucky breaks, and hard work along the way. With interviews from Kendra Syrdal (the first writer for Sunday Scaries who is now with Thought Catalog) and Dave Ruff (co-host of Circling back and my current friend/business partner), we discuss it all — the early days of content, getting hired and working for PGP, and the series of events that took me to where the podcast is today. * * * Shop Sunday Scaries: www.sunday-scaries.com/shop Sunday Scaries Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Will deFries Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries * * * Lumin: www.luminskin.com/scaries (first month FREE) Sun Basket: www.sunbasket.com/scaries (code SCARIES for $35 off your order) Roman: www.getroman.com/scaries * * * All music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast artwork by Alfonso Ruiz (www.alfonsoruizbook.com) and Tristan Pigott (www.tristanpigott.com)

0:30.0	The Sunday Blues have dropped by for a visit.
0:33.0	Not everyone gets them, and it's impossible to quantify how many people do,
0:37.0	but the anecdotal evidence is there.
0:39.0	If people are asked whether they have a downward mood swing by late Sunday afternoon,
0:43.0	chances are they will recognize the symptoms and confess that the visitation shows up like clockwork.

0:52.0	after weekend disruptions of sleep patterns and activity.
0:55.0	Unsure that something as vague as the Sunday Blues is verifiable complaint,
0:59.0	scientists nonetheless can extrapolate from weakened behavior to try to explain its occurrence.
1:05.0	What I just read to you is a column from September 1991 in the New York Times.
1:10.0	I was four years old at the time, and I truly had no idea what the Sunday Scariest actually were.
