Basket Traffic: History versus Hollywood
Need a break from the intensity of life? Need a laugh? Join our podcast. We fuse Film and TV with (light) History and try to find the comedy in it.
Hailing from Vancouver, this podcast is brought to you by hosts Craig, Shawn and Susie. Through story telling and conversation, our podcast grinds and plods along a meandering path of history and entertainment. Craig brings the history. Shawn brings the cinephilia 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.

Welcome back to the show where we combine film, history and comedy.
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.
