A RadioACTive Halloween special with spooky stories from SLC to Sweden, Alaska, Tonga and Hawaii. Plus, Feliz Dia de Los Muertos with Ma Black and Chefs Jorge Fierro and Adalberto Diaz!

Tonight's show is a little bit different. We asked DJs and friends to share their stories of Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos. Take a listen to our storytellers:

  • Jack Waters, a Swedish American, with the story of the last witch burned at the stake in Sweden.

  • Rachel and Jordan of the SLC band Mowth shared a story of possible possession while playing a gig in Ely, NV. Plus, they brought their new single, Ghost to Bone — now streaming on all platforms.

  • Stephanie Mahina, host of RadioACTive the Talanoa Way every Thursday, gets a ghost story or two from her father, Anitelu Mahina, who was born in Tonga. 

  • Kamaile Tripp, host of The Island Wave podcast, with the story of Pele, the goddess of volcanoes and fire, and the demi-god of weather, KamapuaŹ»a.

  • Valene MC talks with her mom, Charmaine Peratrovich, about the Kóoshdaa káa — the land otter man story from her tribe, the Tlingit Nation — and Devil's Club, both of which she learned about as a child from her grandmother while growing up in southeast Alaska.

  • Ma Black talks about Día de los Muertos and how to share it with children. She read from Funny Bones and His Day of the Dead Calaveras by Duncan Tonatiuh, but also recommends the PBS and BookRiot lists of book about the holiday. 

  • Chef Jorge Fierro of Rico Brand and Chef Adalberto Diaz of Fillins & Emulsions talk about their shared love of Día de los Muertos and the traditional pan de muertos baked on Nov. 1 and 2 to place on ofrendas for loved ones who have gone ahead.
