In this episode, we discuss the things in pop culture that haunt us, our most formative ghosts, and the ghosts we’d exorcise from the entertainment realm. Plus we have a brand new Popcast Pop Quiz: Which Pop Culture Ghost Are You? Listen to the episode at knoxandjamie.com/527 and take the quiz and knoxandjamie.com/ghostquiz. Links are in the show notes and in our bio.
