Update: 2025-10-26
Description
This week on Derry Public Radio, join CM, Josh, and Eve as they dive into the eerie world of childhood fears with Stephen King's short story "Here There Be Tygers" from the collection
“Skeleton Crew”. The trio explores the anxieties of young Charles, a boy grappling with his overwhelming fear of using the school bathroom, and the unexpected encounter that brings his worst nightmares to life.
With their signature humor and insightful commentary, the hosts dissect the themes of authority, vulnerability, and the ambiguity of childhood reality. They share personal anecdotes and reflect on their own childhood fears, drawing parallels between Charles's experience and their own. As the discussion unfolds, they ponder whether the tiger is real or merely a manifestation of anxiety, leaving listeners to contemplate the nature of fear itself.
