Scare Tactics is a podcast that blends scary stories with social deception. Each week, three comedians try to convince our host Mickey May that their paranormal encounter really happened. The twist? Only one of them has an honest haunt and the other two are making up stories on the spot. Can we figure out the truth by the end of the episode?Hosted by Mickey MayProduced and edited by Diego de los ReyesLogo by Kim Egner
