Hearing Things
Season 2, Episode 2, Oct 31, 2022, 10:00 AM
Hollywood actor Stephen Tobolowsky's strange "tones." Singer-songwriter Sudie's melodic nightmare.
“There are lots of things I don’t want to know,” says host Christopher Wynn. “And sometimes, maybe we’re better off not knowing.”
Hollywood actor Stephen Tobolowsky — yes, “Needle-Nose Ned” from the Bill Murray comedy Groundhog Day and the washed-up music teacher in Glee — has a hidden talent, an unexplainable talent. It has changed his life in ways both wonderful and terrifying. Put simply, he hears things.

Dallas singer-songwriter Sudie is startled awake in the middle of the night by a pounding fear. There is a strange song — and a warning.
