Basket Traffic: Entertainment Meets History
Welcome to Basket Traffic!
Brought to you by hosts Craig, Shawn and Susie. Through story telling and conversation, our podcast delves into history and entertainment and playfully examines the intersection of these two worlds. Craig thinks he knows history. Shawn is apparently into cinephilia (cinema), and Susie wants nothing to do with any of it. In short, we're seriously unserious and a little irreverent.
Have a listen and press "follow" if you enjoy it. We'd really appreciate it.

Halloween: From Celtic Tradition to Disney Reinvention (Part 1)
Every October 31st, we carve pumpkins, wear costumes, and wander into the night—but where did it all begin? From ancient Celtic rituals honoring the dead to medieval superstitions and modern candy-filled traditions, Halloween has transformed over centuries into the celebration we know today. Join Craig as he explores how Samhain became All Hallows’ Eve, and how fear, faith, and fun blended into one hauntingly fascinating holiday. So light your jack-o’-lantern, grab some candy, and step with us into the shadows of history—welcome to the story behind Halloween.
