Our Haunted Podcast! Witches' Brew, the Candy Store Ghost and the Secret History of Jack-o'-Lanterns
Friday, 30 October, 2026
We’re serving up an extra frightful hour of Milk Street Radio! Folklorist Lesley Bannatyne reveals the mischievous origins of the jack-o’-lantern, and Oaxacan tour guide Gabriel Sánchez shares memories from Day of the Dead celebrations. Candy historian Susan Benjamin recounts candy’s surprising history in America — and the ghostly encounters in her candy shop — and we uncover a modern recipe for the Witches’ Brew from Macbeth. And, to further satisfy our sweet teeth, Stella Parks hops on the phone with Chris to take on your autumn baking calls. (Originally aired on October 24, 2025.)For more information the Witches’ Brew recipe from Macbeth, head here.Listen to Milk Street Radio on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
