October 14, 2026

AI Summary

5 min read

This episode of Dead Rabbit Radio opens with a vivid hypothetical: a waiter grinds chicken bones, rose dust, and "eye of newt" into a rude customer's pasta while muttering a rhyming curse. Host Jason Carpenter uses this scenario, prompted by a listener called Lord Papa Johns, to explore a surprisingly widespread concern: what happens when a witch curses your food, and how do you protect yourself if you've already eaten it?

The episode then pivots to a second, unrelated story about a five-year-old girl named Phoebe who, two years after a near-death experience during open heart surgery, leads her family into a mysterious mall store that seems to be a slice of heaven — and then vanishes without a trace.
