This week’s episode is gratefully dedicated to Trish and her father Lee. Our sincerest thanks to them for allowing us to share their story. Trish recommended we listen to an episode of The Shadow, “The Laughing Corpse!” In this story, the mysterious crime fighter encounters cadavers who continue to laugh even in death. What horror has contorted the faces of these dead men into a wicked grin? Why can the police find no evidence of the crime? Could the Shadow pursue a career as a therapist? Listen for yourself and find out!
