Always Wondered - Episode 49 Preview

On this upcoming episode, we dive into the surprisingly spooky reason we throw salt over our shoulders.  Are we trying to season evil spirits or simply wasting perfectly good sodium chloride?  We have all the salty details.  Also, why did Fairy Tales originally seem like nightmare fuel?  There was actually a very good reason, and you’ll hear the story.  Plus, we explain the origin of the phrase “wear your heart on your sleeve”.  It turns out it’s much more than just a dramatic fashion statement!  So join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you’ve Always Wondered about.
